My Story
I'm Megan Filippini, an Integrative Functional Nutritionist dedicated to guiding individuals on their health journeys. My personal struggles with health, alongside supporting my father through three cancer battles, ignited my passion for holistic healing.
In 2008, as a life-long athlete and tired new mom, I faced various health issues, from anemia to hormone imbalance, prompting me to explore holistic approaches for healing. Witnessing my father's resilience through cancer further inspired me to delve into personalized cancer recovery plans and pursue graduate studies in Nutrition and Blood Chemistry.
During my father's battles with cancer, I navigated complex medical situations and researched treatments, leading me to realize my true calling in proactive health advocacy. With over a decade of experience and certification as a Nutrition Consultant, I help clients uncover root causes and offer evidence-based preventative tools through Functional Nutrition.
My diverse background in Biology, Business, Management Consulting, and living in one of the world’s 5 Blue Zones for three years underscores my passion for guiding individuals towards wellness for longevity. Now, as an Integrative Functional Nutritionist, I empower clients to make lasting choices for optimal well-being through personalized nutrition strategies.
Join me in embracing the transformative power of nutrition for a healthier, vibrant life!
