Functional Nutrition
Welcome to Fuctional Nutrition
Hi, I’m Marketa Simal, MA, FNTP, RHP a functional nutritionist specializing in perimenopause and menopause health.
I work with women who feel like their bodies are changing in ways that feel confusing, frustrating, or out of their control—fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, sleep disruption, anxiety, and hormonal shifts that don’t feel like “them.”
My focus is not just symptom management. I use a root-cause functional nutrition approach to help uncover what is actually contributing to how you feel.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition looks at how systems in the body work together rather than in isolation.
Together, we explore key areas such as:
Blood sugar regulation and metabolic health
Gut health and digestion
Stress response and nervous system balance
Inflammation and immune function
Nutrient status and hormonal pathways
The goal is to understand your unique picture—not apply a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Who I work with:
I support women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, including:
Low energy or burnout
Brain fog or difficulty focusing
Weight changes or resistance to weight loss
Sleep disruption
Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability
General sense of feeling “off”
Many of my clients come to me after feeling dismissed or told their symptoms are “just aging.” What they really need is clarity and a plan that makes sense for their body.
My Philosophy
I believe midlife is not about decline—it’s a transition that deserves support, education, and personalized care.
When we understand what’s driving symptoms at the root level, we can make meaningful changes that support long-term health and wellbeing.
