Research increasingly shows that nutrition is one of the most powerful levers we have for healing, yet most conventional care barely scratches the surface of what food can do. The truth is, every system in your body, from your gut to your hormones to your mental health, is shaped by how you fuel it. Nutrient-rich foods, medicinal herbs, and targeted supplements support wellness and can fundamentally shift the trajectory of chronic conditions.
At FoRM Health in Portland, OR, our functional nutrition specialists take a root-cause approach, using clinical data and deep personalization to create a plan that works for your unique biology. As part of an integrative team of naturopathic physicians and dedicated specialists, FoRM Health brings together the expertise and evidence-based treatments to help you feel, move, and live in your best FoRM.
Our Approach

Using clinical findings (i.e., lab panels, biomarkers, etc.) along with food sensitivities, environmental factors, and lifestyle considerations, you will be provided with dietary recommendations and meal plans with whole-food recipes to bring your health back into balance.
After providing the initial tools you need, our nutritionist will schedule follow-up sessions to discuss successes and challenges.

FAQ
We will discuss most everything about your health and wellness. We’ll talk about your food story (a typical day of food, any sensitivities to food, cultural or social connections to food, food accessibility). If you have recent labs available, we’ll cover any concerns you may have and food sensitivities. We’ll also talk about your digestion, sleep, energy levels, interpersonal relationships, stressors, physical movement, cooking, and what you love to eat!
After we get a clear picture of your food story and health concerns, you’ll receive a detailed food guide, including a shopping list, a weekly meal calendar, and recipes with serving sizes, all in a super convenient PDF format. We know implementing the recommendations at home is often the hardest part, so our nutritionist is here to make it as simple as possible! We also have a wealth of knowledge on nutritious foods and whole-food snacks you can have on the go on the busiest days.
These are the best part! This is where we discuss successes and challenges with the nutrition plan as it stands. Follow-ups are our opportunities to refine, refine, refine. We want to make sure the plan in hand is sustainable. This is also the time we talk about nourishing lifestyle habits to complement using food and herbs as medicine.
While our office is located in SE Portland, Oregon, many of our patients travel from the greater Portland area, including: Lake Oswego, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Milwaukie, Happy Valley, and Oregon City, for in-office visits and procedures. We also offer virtual office visits, which allow us to provide care to anyone seeking care in Oregon, except for procedures, which must be performed in-office.
