Meet Andrea Nicholson

 

From Crime Scene Investigator to Functional Health Professional

I spent 15 years working as a Crime Scene Investigator...now I use those same skills to solve health challenges without giving generic advice to eat less and exercise more

As your Functional Health Investigator, I help solve insulin resistance and prediabetes conditions that contribute to low energy, inflammation, aches/pains, and stubborn weight. 


My practice is based in Parker, CO, though it’s entirely virtual. I work with clients from all over via phone call and telehealth.




My Functional Investigation Process

Functional Nutrition and Health Expert

Healthcare shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all path to medications, procedures and progressive diseases. Sadly, our conventional medical system isn’t set up to identify imbalances or offer natural remedies to lifestyle conditions.

That’s where functional practices come in. We use nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, mindfulness practices, and products products created by nature to create balance, eliminate infections, and promote overall wellness.

This process is fully customized to each client based on current symptoms, history, and goals.

As a busy professional, you don’t want to waste time or money on quick fixes, gimmicks, or miracle potions. Get better, naturally.

Leaky Brain

  Holistic Health Bites Podcast by Functional Nutritionist Andrea Nicholson discussing leaky brain.

Your gut and brain are closely connected, and inflammation might harm both. A weakened blood-brain barrier (leaky brain) lets harmful substances into the brain, potentially leading to mental health issues like depression and neurodegenerative diseases. This is similar to leaky gut, where a loose intestinal lining allows toxins into the bloodstream.

Research shows that improving gut health—through probiotics, prebiotics, a healthy diet, and lifestyle changes—can strengthen the gut-brain connection and reduce inflammation. Addressing gut health could be a key step in improving mental health and preventing brain-related conditions.
