EP #1016: Using Functional Nutrition to Heal Your Gut & More!

Lisa is joined by Risa Groux, a Functional Nutritionist in private practice in Newport Beach, California.  She has always been passionate about nutrition and good health.  Risa focuses on functional nutrition, which uses healthy, natural foods to help people improve their health. Functional nutritionists provide flexible, individualized care to each person based on their needs. Risa has made her children’s baby food from scratch and continues to cook and create healthy, nutritious food. She works with a wide array of clients from professional athletes, adults and kids, to the Biggest Loser from season 4 with issues like diabetes, autoimmune disease, cancer, digestion, thyroid and hormone imbalances to name a few. 

Risa firmly believes that the body can heal itself with whole foods we obtain from the earth and sees living proof of that in her office each day. She looks at root causes using functional nutrition guidelines and knows that weight loss is a side effect of wellness. In addition to her private practice, Risa has a line of non-GMO, gluten, dairy, and soy free products including the RGN 14-day Detox, collagen proteins, chocolate bars, and supplements. Through years of detoxing personally and in her practice, Risa can validate the benefits of decreasing systemic inflammation and increasing good gut health while removing toxins.
