Behnaz is a Certified Functional Nutrition Counsellor (CFNC) with a passion for helping
people rediscover their health, vitality, and joy. As a proponent of herbal and natural
medicine to prevent and heal ailments, her practice is embedded in bio-individual
nutrition counselling with a functional and epigenetic lens. She believes healing can be
such a profound and joyful process. Her health journey has been the reason she is so
passionate about food as medicine. Behnaz pursued functional nutrition counselling at the
Functional Nutrition Alliance, where she learnt a full body systems approach to health
and the necessary tools that serve those who feels stuck on their healing journey. Her
favourite way to heal is by getting creative in the kitchen and making anti-inflammatory
foods that support and express our body’s natural ability to heal. Good food is truly
medicine!
Behnaz’s approach is holistic, bio-individual and centred on finding the root cause of
health concerns and nutritional deficiencies. She uses functional testing, lifestyle modification, mindfulness, stress management tools, food as medicine, nutritional science, appropriate supplementation and interventions to assist her clients' recovery and health goals. She loves to guide her clients to take their
power back by educating them on their body’s unique physiology and teaching them the power of appropriate foods for their unique needs and concerns. Behnaz offers
functional solutions that express healing and lasting change from the inside out. Through
working with her clients and seeing their transformation as well as her own, she has seen and believes that our bodies are designed to heal when given the right nutrients, environments, consistent support, and conditions to thrive. Compassion, care, and curiosity at at the foundations of her practice as a Functional Nutrition Counsellor.

In this workshop I will explore the link between thyroid disease and adrenal fatigue. Together we’ll explore the various forms of thyroid dysfunction from hashimoto’s thyroiditis and graves to hyper/hypothyroidism and goitre. Our thyroid health is impacted by so many factors including environmental toxins, heavy metals, nutritional and mineral deficiencies, digestive issues & malabsorption, chronic stress and life-style factors. The truth is everyone’s physiological response to these array of stressors is varied and bio-individual. However, adrenal fatigue and chronic low-energy seems to affect us across the board, especially as we deal with thyroid health. Digestive problems, sleep issues, mood disorders, and fatigue are all branches pointing us to a bigger issue when our thyroid’s concerned. We’ll dive deep into all these symptoms. I’m going to also share lab tests needed to investigate the potential root causes of your current state. I will offer some powerful tools that will empower you to take your energy and health back starting from nutritional and anti-inflammatory interventions for supporting healthy thyroid function. We’ll also explore minerals and anti-inflammatory nutrients found in nature, targeted movement and super simple DIY biohacking tools, and mental health tools that kickstart your thyroid healing. This is a holistic approach, as I believe the path to healing is integrative, meaning we don’t discount the power of allopathic and holistic/natural medicine coming together to help patients move from a state of dis-ease to wellness and optimal health. This workshop will support you in reframing healing and how epigenetic factors tie into our expression of health and energy. There is a way to heal and our energy and it really does start with broadening your understanding of thyroid health. I will educate, empower, and inspire you to begin healing now.
