You have probably heard “you are what you eat.” To be accurate: you are what you absorb.
Why personalised
You’re what you eat? Well — to be accurate, you’re what you absorb.
Given our diverse backgrounds and distinct genetic compositions, our bodies are uniquely crafted to absorb nutrients from specific foods, serving as the essential fuel for our cells to operate optimally. So it’s logical that the path to reclaiming energy and health should be tailored to meet specific needs. This is why we adopt the “Test, Not Guess” approach, ensuring a personalized health rebuilding program to guide you on your journey. Let us figure it out for you by looking into your body’s unique chemistry.
If you’re grappling with persistent low energy, it’s time to uncover the underlying reasons. You might have explored medical interventions or worked closely with a nutritionist to fine-tune your diet and supplements. Perhaps you’ve embraced green drinks for breakfast. Despite these efforts, you still find yourself lacking vitality and struggling to engage in activities you once enjoyed.

Meet your practitioner
Dr. Khoshknabi was trained as a pediatrician and practiced overseas for over 10 years. She has over 20 years of clinical research experience and has presented at many national and international meetings, representing Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic in the past. Currently, she serves as a Consultant at the Columbia University Medical Center, Center of Innovation and Outcomes Research of the Gastroenterology and Colorectal Cancer Department.
She has authored more than 55 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals and has served as a peer reviewer for BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care.
In light of her clinical research in GI and Colorectal Surgery, she became interested in the field of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and has been certified as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner (FDN-P) to continue helping people understand the reasons behind their symptoms, particularly related to GI issues, skin problems, autoimmune conditions, and brain health.
As a certified FDN-P, Dr. D specializes in root cause analysis and utilizes principles of lifestyle and nutrition to help people reclaim their health.
Dr. D’s practice is unique because she is trained to provide access to and interpret a wide array of different diagnostic tests, based on functional ranges that other MDs do not typically use. She uses test results in combination with her comprehensive clinical research experience, specifically in Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer, and Digestive Diseases, to educate her clients and design individualized health protocols, offering them the tools to regain their well-being and vitality.
Dr. D is passionate about educating her clients on how to support the body to function with ease as it was designed by applying healthy practices in all areas of life. She provides free health talks to enlighten and empower her audiences. Dr. D customizes the nature of her presentations to suit and engage the needs of each group respectfully. Her talks are conveyed with a sense of common sense and simplicity, with the objective of empowering people to make further inquiries, make better choices, and be considerate of themselves by listening to their bodies.

We assess clients’ symptoms by taking their lifestyle and medical history to form an impression, in addition to lab data, to create a functional assessment. Then we educate the client by presenting an overview of the essential information on the body’s anatomy and functions associated with their test results and correlating those results with the client’s health complaints to develop an individualized therapeutic protocol.
