What is functional naturopathy?
You are unique. You have your own genetic predisposition, health history, and lifestyle. Your food and wellness strategies should be unique to your body too! I use Functional Naturopathy as a key component in helping you optimize your health.
Functional naturopathy focuses on the client rather than the disease. This is a personalized method of optimizing YOUR health based on YOUR individual genetics, YOUR lifestyle, etc. There is no meal plan or generic documentation because everyone is different!
A complete diet, rich in fruits and vegetables and little processed, is always a good basis. However, some clients need more targeted interventions with specific foods in order to target the underlying causes of their imbalances to optimize their health.
The functional approach honors the fact that food is not only fuel for YOUR body, but also an extremely useful tool in helping you regain balance. It’s much more than food.
While Functional Naturopathy honors the powerful nature of healthy eating, it also respects the fact that health isn't just about what you eat. For example, your stress level, your sleeping habits and your environment in general also influence your health. Not only do these factors play a huge role in your overall health, they also have a two-way effect on your food habits.
My story
Du Doctorat... à l'alimentation fonctionnelle
Meet Julie and Caroline
Julie Goulet PhD, ND, CFMP
Functional Naturopath
I am a mother of three teenagers and passionate about health and eating habits. I hold a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree and a PhD in nutrition from Laval University. I also hold a Functional Medicine Practitioner (FMU) certificate. I have always had a holistic view of human beings and wanted to understand how best to apply my knowledge in order to help people. It was this desire that prompted me to look for a way that could help myself and my allergic children to regain better health. From that point on, I opened up to alternative approaches and started looking into the literature for the different options available to us. It was then that I discovered how functional naturopathy could answer my questions and allow us to regain balance and control our lives. After working in research for 15 years, I decided to return to clinical practice, but this time to naturopathy, in order to help people regain better health. It is through functional naturopathy that I unite my greatest passions and my knowledge to help people regain their balance at different times of their lives. It is with great openness and great compassion that I await you.
I am a member of the Association des Naturopathes du Québec (ANPQ).
Caroline Goulet BSc, ND
Caroline began her career with a Bachelor's degree in psychology. She subsequently obtained another Bachelor's degree in health, this time in nursing. She has been working in the health sector for over 15 years.
Curious and eager to learn and understand, she subsequently studied functional naturopathy. Caroline has always been fascinated by the healing powers of humans through food, nature and herbal remedies. She suffered from various health problems for which traditional medicine could not provide answers. This is what prompted her to do research to try to understand and find alternative approaches to regain her health. Thanks to the support of her sister and mentor Julie Goulet, Caroline is back on the road to health.
Caroline now believes that each person is their own healer and now wishes to share their knowledge with those who seek optimal health and life.
She now wants to support people on their healing journey and help them transform their lives through the use of food and healthy lifestyle habits.
Adventurous, generous and optimistic by nature, she will guide you on your personal journey to optimal health.
