Empowered Nutrition
through Whole Foods
How We HelpOur medical system is broken, our food is depleted of nutrients and we as a society are increasingly riddled with diseases at younger ages. We are in a real health crisis!
Functional nutrition fills in the gap that conventional medicine leaves behind. This way of working is completely different from anything else you have tried. There are no band-aids here. We are supporting the way your unique body works so we can dismantle any imbalances at the roots. By working on the tenant that we are all unique, we know that no one protocol will help everyone, we ask the questions that no one else is asking, so you can come to me with any named health issue and we break it down to how your body is functioning and remove any obstacles to healing. |

Kerri FerraioliMaster Nutrition TherapistI used to eat a processed diet and suffered from chronic headaches. After years of trying different treatments, I gave up meat and started eating a vegetarian diet. My headaches persisted, but then I met with a nutritionist who helped me tweak my diet to include more whole plant foods. Within weeks, my headaches disappeared!
I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years and have learned a great deal about nutrition. I believe that diet is the foundation of health and that everyone can benefit from eating more whole plant foods. I'm passionate about helping others improve their health through diet and lifestyle changes. I'm excited to share my knowledge and experience with you. Let's work together to reach your health goals! |

Ask your Holistic Nutritionist

WHAT IS A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST?
We believe that how you feel is more than just what you put in your body -- at Lifetime Nutrition, we consider the psychological, emotional, and physical needs necessary to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Through specialized lab testing, an extensive health history, food journaling, and more, we help ensure you're not just feeling "good", but at your best.
HOW DOES A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST DIFFER FROM A REGISTERED DIETICIAN?
A holistic nutritionist studies the same basic science as Dietitians, but we follow a different school of thought on how to approach health and healing. We have gone to schools with holistic based programs where the education centers around finding out why you are not feeling well and we work with you to enhance your quality of life. We use food therapeutically to help you heal and stress the use of whole, organic, chemical free foods that are high quality and meant to build health. We use our sessions to educate you on how to make better choices to regain your health. What you eat creates your cells, so if you are eating high quality food and using high quality supplements, you will have high quality cells that are building your foundation for health! Many holistic nutritionists work alongside doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists and other health care practitioners. Some holistic nutritionists like myself, go the extra mile and become board certified in holistic nutrition®.
A registered dietician has earned a degree in dietetics and learns a curriculum that is approved by the academy of nutrition and dietetics (and) which was formerly the american dietetic association (ada). They are licensed and regulated by the government. They practice medical nutrition therapy which means they use the usda guidelines that are based on recommended daily allowances which does not allow for personalization. They also use food, but the quality is not always stressed and they typically follow the usda myplate model. Most often registered dieticians work in hospitals, schools and government.
Holistic nutrition is typically sought after western medicine has failed.

What our Clients are saying...
Too many people do not realize or understand the benefits of working with a nutritionist. There is no other resource that could have guided me like Kerri has. We were able to recognize and address my nutrient deficiencies and my food sensitivities. I will continue to work with Kerri, I completely trust her knowledge and competence. |
Kerri has taught me so much! We drew in depth bloodwork for micronutrient deficiencies and I was able to actually cut out many of the supplements I was taking because it showed I didn't need them. She also gave me the knowledge to expand on my vegetarian diet. I highly recommend Kerri! |
I was diagnosed with arthritis, the traditional medications made me feel worse and I tried to make changes myself with no success. Kerri helped me navigate the confusing world of lab tests, deficiencies, symptoms and how food will impact my body. She gave me control over my own well being. Kerri has been instrumental in guiding me in my path to well being and I will be forever grateful! |
