Nutritional Therapy
We help busy, active people with elite-level nutritional therapy so they can feel & perform their best
A healthy diet is one of the most important things you can do to safe-guard yourself, and your family, against sickness and disease. As a result, at Back to Function (BTF) we take nutritional counseling very seriously. But it’s not just about preventing disease. Your BTF doctor will guide you in making food choices beneficial to your health so you can feel-recover-perform better and 
look your best. One of our favorite programs to get you started on a healthier (and thinner) you is our 14-day Designs for Health detoxification cleanse program. Not only will this cleanse help you lose weight by eating healthier foods, you should also notice an increase in energy and emotional wellness. Whether or not you use the 14-day detox from Designs for Health to jumpstart your health, the nutritional approach we recommend to many of our adult clients is the BTF Metabolic Optimization Program.

- improve your metabolism and ability to burn calories

Once you are ready to get started, you can schedule a consultation with our nutrition coach, Whitney Sulentor. She has helped many individuals meet there fitness and nutrition goals.
What About Supplements?: Since nutritional supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), at BTF we only recommend nutritional supplements that are pharmaceutical grade. Pharmaceutical grade supplements have been independently tested and verified by an outside laboratory. You cannot get this type of quality supplement at your local grocery or nutrition store and is only available from your trusted healthcare provider. At BTF, the nutrition company we trust the most is Pure Encapsulations. We carry the Pure Encapsulations products that we feel are the most useful for many of the conditions that we see, but we can order any Pure Encapsulations supplements that you need.
What If I’m In Pain?: Certain foods and supplements can actually decrease inflammation and help your body heal faster. Many of the 
well-known anti-inflammatory and pain reducing medications have been discovered from actual plant sources in nature. Your BTF doctor will guide you to making food choices beneficial to your health so you can feel better faster. For joint repair and mobility (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot issues) we use Joint Complex, and for spinal repair (back or neck issues) we use Disc-Flex.
What About Improving Athletic Performance?: Your food and hydration choices are crucial to maximizing your athletic potential. 
The doctors and BTF can help you with proper nutrition and hydration guidelines. Some of the nutritional supplements that can also aid your performance are: Athletic Nutrients (multivitamin/mineral complex for exercise performance and training), Creatine Monohydrate (supports the body’s natural ability to regenerate the primary energy immediately available to working muscle and has the potential to increase optimal work output and delay fatigue in activities such as weightlifting and sprinting), Biosteel High Performance Sports Mix (amino acid hydration), Redmond’s Re-Lyte Hydration Mix (electrolyte supplementation) Magnesium (good for athletic performance and immune system activation) and PurePaleo Protein or PurePea Protein from Designs For Health (tissue repair and healing).

fitness plan, you will see significant decreases in body fat while toning muscles and improving your stamina. We use the state of the art in body composition analysis with the InBody 570. This bioelectrical impedance device goes beyond traditional body composition analysis, measuring fat, visceral fat, muscle and total body water.
Some of the nutritional supplements that can also aid your weight loss goals are: AdipoLean II (healthy weight management and abdominal circumference), CholestePure, (promotes healthy cholesterol metabolism), Lithium (promotes healthy mood, memory & behavior), Metabolic Xtra (supports healthy glucose & insulin metabolism), Thyroid Support Complex (supports healthy thyroid function) and XanthiTrim (supports fat metabolism).
