Our Story

Tricia Sauer, RDN, CDN, LDN,  IFNCP

Founder/CEO

I founded this group of outstanding functional medicine dietitians to help people not only survive in a world of chronic disease, but also to be well.

 

My Registered Dietitians are expertly trained and advanced certified in Functional Medicine Nutrition through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the credentialing board for RDNs. This specialty practice area uses a holistic, systems biology approach to treating the entire person. In addition to being functional dietitians, each member of my team has subspecialties. We provide nutrition care for all stages of life and conditions.

 

The field of Nutrition is rapidly evolving, and so we must too. Science never sleeps. For this reason, we use a practice called round tabling, made famous by Cleveland Clinic. This strategy involves multiple providers consulting together over a single patient. As iron sharpens iron, we grow and learn from each other so we can bring the best care to our patients.

"Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots."          ~ Rumi
