“When we can accept and embrace our humanness, show others around us how to get real and raw while understanding the ebb and flow of life. That is what makes a successful and inspiring coach.”

Functional Medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the whole body as one ecosystem, not as different parts operate independently from one another. This Science based approach views symptoms as the reflections of a few common interconnected imbalances.
By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

Nutrition is the core modality of Functional Medicine. The IFM (Institute of Functional Medicine) defines functional nutrition as an approach that “emphasizes the importance of high- quality foods and phytonutrient diversity to address clinical imbalances and move people to the highest expression of health".
Advanced nutrition assessments and a thorough health and diet history leads to a personalized therapeutic intervention to promote healing; and the core to healing is understanding bio-individuality

Mindful eating is a way of life; it can help us learn or relearn how to have a healthy relationship with food and how to remove any problematic feelings we may have picked up over years of restriction and following meal plans.
Weight loss may be a side effect of cultivating this renewed relationship, but it’s important not to aim for weight loss in this journey of coaching. Doing so may constrain us so that we are unable to truly eat intuitively or in a mindful way.

If it wasn’t for Zein then I would still be stuck in my 60’s. Zein not only transformed me physically but mentally as well. She taught me all about food and how it affected our bodies in a way I didn’t know before. She looks beyond your height and what’s your suitable weight accordingly. She looks into your body composition and habits. I loved that she didn’t believe in processed food and those commercial skimmed fat and diet products like most dietitians out there. If you’re looking for a life changing, life lasting relationship with food then Zein is your answer.
