About Eli Priest

Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner

Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner

Certified Clinical Homeopathic Specialist

Hi, I am Eli; I am a wife, a mom of three, a Libra, a yogi, an avid runner, and a triathlete. I love to travel, I love the ocean and outdoors in general, I love to create, and I love spending time with my family. 

 

I am also a Functional Nutritional Practitioner, holistic health advocate, and real food lover. I have always pushed myself hard to learn more, know more, take the road less traveled, and not settle for the status quo. 

 

As a Functional Nutritionist, I specialize in finding and addressing the root cause of chronic illness and restoring health and wellness at a cellular level. I work with clients to optimize diet, lifestyle, detox, drainage pathways, and mitochondrial health. I work with clients to address complex health conditions such as autoimmune disorders, Lyme Disease and co-infections, Mold Illness and CIRS, gut & digestive health, and nutrient imbalances.

 

The foundation of everything I do is rooted in a functional nutrition mindset. Functional nutrition intimately focuses on the needs of the individual through a whole-person approach to care, explicitly personalized to your uniqueness. When you have a complete picture of what’s going on in the body and have the proper supports built-in, the body can begin to function correctly. 

 

I see a need for a lot of change in today’s society regarding the health of an individual or society as a whole. I am dedicated to educating and empowering individuals, cultivating a community, and working towards a global paradigm shift to reverse the adverse effects of the modern diet through nutritional therapy, sustainable food, and balanced lifestyles.

 

I enjoy being a part of a movement that is creating change in the health and wellness industry, and I hope to spark change in the health of the people I work with. At the end of each day, if I have made one lasting imprint on one person, then I am serving my purpose, and it makes me feel confident that the change needed to shift the health of our society in a better direction will come.
