The Power Of Functional Weight Loss


The Functional Medicine Approach to Weight Loss at Pura Vida Natural Wellness

At Pura Vida Natural Wellness, we understand that weight loss is more than just calories in and calories out. It’s about identifying and correcting the root causes that may be sabotaging your metabolism—whether that’s inflammation, hormone imbalances, toxin overload, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysfunction, or food sensitivities.

This is not a one-size-fits-all or fad diet. Our approach is personalized, data-driven, and clinically grounded. We use advanced functional testing to assess your unique biochemistry and create a custom plan tailored to your body’s needs.

In our clinic, we have a saying:

“We don’t guess—we test.”

Not everyone thrives on the same foods. While some people tolerate eggs or pineapple well, others may react with bloating, inflammation, or fatigue. That’s why we run food sensitivity panels and other targeted labs to eliminate the guesswork.

Our goal is to help you feel your best—inside and out. Many of our clients not only lose weight, but also reduce or eliminate medications, reverse chronic conditions like prediabetes, improve sleep, boost energy, clear brain fog, and move through life with more ease and vitality.

Weight loss is just the beginning. Let’s uncover what’s holding

your body back—and give it exactly what it needs to thrive.

Our Approach Is Unique

At Pura Vida Natural Wellness, we take a comprehensive, root-cause approach to weight loss.

Rather than focusing solely on calories or quick fixes, we evaluate multiple factors—nutrition, nutrient deficiencies, toxic burden, inflammation, metabolic function, cellular health, and more. Because lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation.

True healing and sustainable fat loss require a provider who acts as a health detective—someone who takes the time to listen, investigate, and personalize your care. Not someone offering a one-size-fits-all plan after a five-minute visit.

If you’re overwhelmed by conflicting information and ready for a clear, science-backed path forward—we invite you to schedule a

free discovery call. There’s no pressure—just a chance to explore whether our functional weight loss system is the right fit for you.

We Objectively Look At Foods


Personalized care starts with understanding your unique biology—because when it comes to weight loss, we don’t guess... we TEST.

What works for one person may not work for another. For some, a ketogenic diet might be beneficial. For others, it can trigger inflammation due to sensitivities to common ingredients like dairy, eggs, or even avocado.

We see it all the time—clients who believe they’re eating “healthy,” but are unknowingly consuming foods that disrupt their gut, overwork their immune system, and drive inflammation. And when the body is inflamed, sustainable weight loss becomes incredibly difficult.


That’s why food sensitivity testing is one of the first pillars of our functional weight loss program.

Because healing begins with clarity—and personalized, data-driven guidance leads to real results.

We Objectively Look At Nutrients


Not sure which supplements you actually need? You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why we test instead of guess.

At Pura Vida Natural Wellness, we believe the most expensive supplement is the one your body doesn’t need. Rather than recommending a cabinet full of guesswork, we identify specific nutrient deficiencies through targeted testing.


From there, we create a personalized plan to replenish what your body is missing—nothing more, nothing less.


Optimizing nutrient levels is a foundational step in restoring your health

—and when the body is supported at the cellular level, fat loss often happens naturally as a

byproduct

of healing.


That’s why correcting nutrient imbalances is

Pillar #2

of our functional weight loss approach.

We Look At Toxins


Did you know your body may store fat as a protective response to toxins?

This is a built-in survival mechanism. When the body is overwhelmed by chemical exposure—often from processed, inflammatory, or artificial foods—it holds onto fat as a buffer to protect vital organs.


The Standard American Diet (SAD) is filled with hidden toxins and additives that disrupt metabolism and drive inflammation. That’s why one of the first things we do in our functional weight loss program is help you

clean up your environment and your plate.

We provide every client with a comprehensive list of ingredients and toxins to avoid—because if a product has 27 unrecognizable ingredients, it’s likely not food... it’s a science experiment designed for profit, not wellness.


Reducing your toxic load is Pillar #3

in our weight loss system—because a body that’s constantly defending itself cannot safely release weight.

When the body begins to heal, balance, and function optimally, fat loss becomes a natural side effect.
