Do you believe in the healing power of food ?
“With every bite you take remember that food brings with it an abundance of enjoyment, pleasure, social and cultural connection, but most importantly nourishment on a cellular, mental and physical level. Food is the foundation of life.”
About Me
Hi there! My name is Sedra Jundi, I am a Registered Dietitian (R.D), Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert, Functional Nutritionist and Health advocate with a passion for healing people using an integrative and functional approach to nutrition.
After 8 years into my Academic journey, sleepless nights studying, reading and researching, I can definitely say that the field of Nutrition does nothing but amaze me day-by-day! It is complex yet so simple.
The answer lies in the food we eat, I cannot emphasize this enough. From the highest scientific evidence and clinical trials published to-date to advice from pioneers in the field, it really does start with what goes into our plates on a daily basis.
In my holistic practice, I work to help you heal and treat the why instead of the what.
We all come from different genetic backgrounds, have different lifestyles, live in different environments, have different sleeping habits and experience different stressors in life. By treating the root cause of symptoms, I work with you to help restore wellness, replete nutrient deficiencies, heal your gut, find balance and prevent disease.
