What Exactly Is Nutrition?
Nutrition is the science of how food and nutrients influence the body on a biochemical and physiological level — shaping energy, mood, immune health, metabolism, cellular function, and long-term health. Because every system in the body depends on proper nutrients and digestion, nutrition directly impacts everything from the gut and immune system, to hormones, cardiovascular health, skin, and overall resilience.
Nutritional Therapy is built on the understanding that many modern health challenges stem from imbalances in our body’s foundational systems –– often driven by diet, chronic stress, and weakened digestion. With fewer than 15% of medical visits containing any nutritional guidance, there is a significant gap in support. Nutritional Therapy fills this gap through a holistic (whole person), bio-individual approach that focuses on proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and root-cause healing — helping clients restore balance and long-term vitality.
Aubrey’s Nutritional Therapy practice is based on the foundations of Nutritional Therapy. This includes but not limited to:

Gut Microbiome: Is the diverse community of microbes in your gut thriving or struggling and is your immune system over or under responding?
