Nutritional Counseling in Bristol
Helping people develop a new relationship with food while getting the essential nutrients they need is at the heart of our nutritional counseling program at Cooper Functional Health.
Gut health is critical for overall health and wellness—most of the immune system resides within the gut. So, making dietary changes to ensure you are getting the 45 essential nutrients and eliminating toxins from the gut is often the first step in creating optimal long-term health.

Diet Log
The first part of the program consists of logging everything you eat and drink. Many people think they have a pretty good idea of what they eat—until they actually start writing it down. This eye-opening experience gives Dr. Cooper a baseline of where you are nutritionally and changes patients’ perspectives about food.
Supplements
Based on your specific needs, Dr. Cooper will recommend whole food supplementation to address every organ system in the body. In addition, we have meal replacement supplements—we can also recommend other products that you can obtain elsewhere if you prefer.
Nutrition
Dr. Cooper will often begin by assessing your log to determine if you’re getting appropriate macro and micronutrients, including the 45 essential nutrients. The nutrition counseling includes food selection and ensuring you get quality whole foods, including the “stinky stuff” like cabbages, broccoli and Brussels sprouts because these foods detoxify the liver.
Teaching you about different foods and their benefits is important to us. We want you to give your body the highest quality fuel possible. If you had an expensive Italian sports car, you’d give it the premium gasoline it needs to run optimally—and your body deserves the same care and reverence.
