Welcome to
Functional Chemistry!
"Chemistry That works!"
This program is for people struggling with the relentless cycle of anxiety and IBS-D—those unpredictable mornings, racing thoughts, gut urgency, and the constant tension that lives in your chest and your digestion.
Most are told it’s “just stress,” given a prescription, or left to manage it alone. But your symptoms aren’t random. Your body is responding to something real. When you finally connect your story, your environment, your symptoms, and your functional lab data—inside a supported community—you stop guessing and start healing. This isn’t just a protocol. It’s a shift in how you understand your biology, and it changes everything.
Health isn’t about managing symptoms anymore...
It’s about understanding why they’re happening—and what to do about it. We help you uncover the real reasons behind your fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and anxiety. Then, we build your personalized plan using science, nature, and structured support. If feel like you've been stuck in survival mode, we help you find it and help you fix it.
Our Deeply Rooted Method
This 5-part framework will help us understand you—not just your symptoms.
🧠 Your Story – Your history, your patterns, what has helped and what hasn’t. This is where real context begins.
🌀 Your Symptoms – These aren’t random or wrong. They’re your body's intelligent signals—we will help you interpret them.
🌿 Your Environment – Light, food, stress, sleep, movement… and the space around you. It all impacts your biology.
🧪 Your Functional Lab Data – We don’t guess. We test, look upstream to the sources, and connect the dots with everything above.
🤝 Your Coaching & Community – Weekly group calls + 1:1 support = a container of clarity, momentum, and transformation. You won't do this alone.
We won't just hand you another protocol and wish you luck.
We will walk with you through a 4-month, science-backed, personalized process designed to accelerate healing—and give you lifelong clarity, skills, and confidence you need to lead your family with trust and purpose.
This is for you if…
✔ You’re tired of guessing—and ready to understand what your body’s really saying
✔ You want a clear, personalized plan—not just generic advice
✔ You’re ready to dig deeper and get to the root—not just treat the surface
✔ You’re open to working with nature, your biology, and your story to finally heal
✔ You want long-term clarity and confidence—for yourself and your family
✔ You’re craving a supportive, like-minded community that gets it—and grows with you
It’s probably not a fit if…
✘ You’re looking for a quick fix, detox trend, or symptom-suppressing protocol
✘ You’re unwilling to make the necessary changes to your nutrition and food environment to support your healing
✘ You just want a meal plan without the deeper work, data, or coaching
✘ You’re not open to exploring cutting-edge science, and other ways of thinking about health, energy, or healing
✘ You’re not ready to invest in long-term change—or be an active participant in your process
Think this could be it?
If so, what's the worst that can happen by taking 25 mins with us?
If this isn’t the right fit, we’ll both know. But if it is… it could change everything.

What working together looks like:
1) Together, We’ll Curiously Examine Your Story
✅ Easy, mail-in Functional lab testing to reveal imbalances and uncover upstream issues across the Four Pillars of Health and their key systems—hormones, immune function, detoxification, digestion, nervous system, energy production, and oxidative stress (MRT is the only blood draw)
✅ In-Depth Intake Forms to map out your unique symptoms, triggers, and history.
✅ Chemical Inventory Review - Uncover hidden toxins in your food, home, and personal care products that may be disrupting your gut and overall health
✅ 1-Hour Intake Call - Our first session together, where we’ll review your health history, goals, intake forms, and current challenges. This call sets the foundation for your personalized plan, ensuring we address your unique needs throughout the program.
2) Together, We’ll Create Personalized, Natural, and Holistic Protocols
When your lab data comes in, I will send you a video of explaining your test results for you to preview before our 90 min Results and Recommendations session (when we put everything together). We connect all the protocols to your 4 Pillars of Health:
✅ Microbiome – We restore your inner ecosystem with personalized nutrition, gut support, and lifestyle strategies that bring your digestion, immune system, and mood back into alignment.
✅ Mitochondria – We rebuild your cellular energy systems through nervous system regulation, daily movement, light, regenerative food, and alignment with circadian rhythms.
✅ Minerals – Using targeted nutrition and supplementation, we rebalance mineral levels and detox pathways based on your lab data, restoring the electrical foundation your cells depend on.
✅ Quantum Energetics – We reconnect your biology to natural frequencies through light, energy-dense food, breath, grounding, and environmental detox—helping your body shift from survival to healing. We also support emotional detox and energetic alignment by restoring your relationship with yourself—releasing fear, guilt, and shame, and replacing them with curiosity, joy, and deep patience for the healing process.
3) From Overwhelmed to Empowered—A 4-Month Experience That Changes Everything, Together
Knowing what to do is powerful. But having real-time coaching, a personalized roadmap, and a like-minded community walking with you? That’s what creates lasting transformation.
✅ Weekly group coaching calls for 18 weeks—so you get support, clarity, and momentum alongside others on the same path
✅ Step-by-step guidance to help you implement your plan with confidence
✅ Personalized adjustments based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals
✅ A supportive community that helps you stay consistent, feel seen, and celebrate wins
✅ The lifelong skills, clarity, and trust in your body you’ve been missing—so you can lead your health and your family’s with confidence
🔬 What We Test—and Why It Matters
In the Deeply Rooted Method, we use a variety of functional labs to get to the real reasons behind your symptoms—so you can stop guessing and start healing with clarity. It’s not just the lab results that matter—it’s how they’re interpreted. Here at Functional Chemistry, we don’t treat these data points as isolated numbers to increase or decrease. We focus on the relationships between biomarkers to tell us about the bigger story—because it’s the patterns, not the individual parts, that reveal the root causes.
GI-MAP (Stool Test): Identifies bacterial imbalances, parasites, yeast, inflammation, leaky gut, and immune activity.
Mucosal Barrier Test (Dried Blood Spots): Measures gut permeability, histamine overload, and DAO enzyme activity.
HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): Assesses mineral levels, heavy metal toxicity, and key mineral ratios that affect energy, hormones, and detox.
Organic Acids Test (OAT, Urine Test): Detects nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter imbalances, and candida or fungal overgrowth.
Metabolic Wellness Profile (Dried Urine Spot): Evaluates protein digestion, oxidative stress, and bile acid production for detox and digestive efficiency.
Stress & Hormone Panel (4x Saliva in one day): Tracks cortisol patterns, adrenal health, and hormone balance throughout the day.
MRT (Food Sensitivity Test, Blood Draw, Phlebotomy Required): Pinpoints immune reactions to foods and chemicals that drive inflammation.
Metabolic Typing Assessment (Online Test): Identifies your nutritional type to personalize your food strategy and improve energy regulation.
These labs help us build a protocol that’s customized to your body—so we can address what’s actually causing the chaos underneath your symptoms.
What’s Holding You Back Might Not Be What You Think
If you’ve made it this far, there’s a reason.
Imagine. If your life were a movie—sold out, standing room only—and you were the main character on the brink of a breakthrough… what would the audience be yelling from their seats, begging you to finally do?

Does this sound different than what you've tried?
BUT....
⏰ “I just don’t have time for this…”
Totally fair. Life is full.
But if we’re honest—your symptoms are already costing you time. The fog, the crashes, the unpredictable days.
This isn’t about overhauling everything overnight. We build something realistic and sustainable, together.
Most people are surprised by how supported and doable it actually feels.
💸 “This feels like a big investment…”
We get that too. And it’s okay to feel cautious about the most important thing in your life: your own health.
You’ve likely already spent plenty—on guessing with supplements, surface-level labs, or advice that didn’t work or really apply to you.
This is different.
1) What would it be worth to finally understand what your body’s been trying to say—and have a personalized plan rooted in your story, your environment, and backed by science and nature?
2) What if you had a simplified approach to the overwhelming list of ingredients, toxins, and chemicals you’ve been trying to keep track of—especially to protect your family?
3) And what if you could understand the language of your cells, trust your daily choices, and lead your family with calm confidence for the rest of your life?
🤔 “What if it doesn’t work for me?”
You’re not alone in wondering that.
But ask yourself this: Have you ever had someone connect your story, your symptoms, your environment, and your lab data—and build a plan just for you AND walk with you step-by-step answering all your questions?
That’s what we do here.
And if you had real support, clear answers, and a way to finally understand what your body is saying… would that feel different?
Think about this:
If I can help teenagers make healthier decisions by just improving their understanding, imagine what we can do with data-driven, customized strategies, 1:1 and group support, resulting in confidence for a lifetime.

I would highly recommend working with Nick! He is so knowledgeable about all things health and wellness and is always expanding his knowledge. He either knows a lot about the topic at hand or he will research and find out. Being that every person’s body is different, this is so important! He’s a great listener, taking the time to really understand your needs and goals. He will look at your health as a whole and take everything in account - environment, food, water, products used, etc. What’s awesome is that this is what he does in his own life, so he doesn’t just know it and implement it with his clients, but he also lives it. If your goal is to become more healthy and you’re looking for someone with expertise and great energy that cares about helping you reach your wellness goals, look no further!

Nick more than just a high school chemistry teacher; he is truly transformative. Before his class, chemistry was something I struggled to connect with, but he has a unique way of making complex topics understandable and fascinating. His teaching completely shifted my perspective on life. After his class–even as a college student–I want to live a healthier and more mindful life. I know he’ll continue to inspire and empower others just as he did with me.
Meet Nick
Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. Chemistry Educator. Father. Nature Nerd. Truth-Seeker.
I’ve been where you are.
In college, my health crashed—so much so that my girlfriend (now wife) was seriously worried. A few close friends even brought me home-cooked meals because they could see I was running on empty. I didn’t realize it then, but that was the beginning of everything.
After becoming a high school chemistry and environmental science teacher, I was driven to make science relatable—to connect it to food, toxins, energy, and the way we actually live. My biggest inspiration was my mentor Bryan, a chemistry wizard who encouraged me to pursue my master’s degree. Just months later, he passed away unexpectedly.
Devastated, I turned to research—not textbooks, but PubMed articles and the study of nature itself. Through grief and curiosity, I uncovered something beautiful: that health is connected to everything. From atoms to ecosystems to the human spirit—it all matters. And that includes how we treat ourselves.
Today, I use my background in biochemistry, teaching, and functional lab work to help people finally understand what their body’s been trying to say. I connect the science to your real life, and I walk with you through every step of healing—because no one should have to figure this out alone.

FAQ
Don't worry, we got you. Here are some answers for your questions.
1️⃣ Do you accept insurance?
No, I do not accept insurance. My programs are private-
pay only, as they include functional lab testing,
personalized protocols, and ongoing support that go
beyond what traditional healthcare covers. At some point
in the future, I will begin accepting FSA and HSA payments
so if you’d like to get on my waitlist for that, please contact
me Nick@functionalchemistry.com.
2️⃣ When does my program start?
For the Deeply Rooted package, the 4-month program
officially begins on the day of your Results &
Recommendations (R&R) call—this is when we go over
your lab results and create your personalized health plan.
However, you’ll have access to intake forms, pre-program
guidance, and onboarding materials before then.
3️⃣ How long does it take to get my lab results?
Most labs take 3-4 weeks to process. Once your results are
in and an analysis has been done, we schedule your Results
& Recommendations (R&R) call, which is when your
program officially begins.
4️⃣ Can I do this program while working full-time?
Yes! My programs are designed to fit into your life, not
take it over. We focus on realistic changes that work with
your schedule, and all coaching is done remotely so you
can participate from anywhere.
5️⃣ Will I have to give up all my favorite foods?
No! This isn’t about restrictive dieting—it’s about
understanding what your body needs and healing
your gut so you can tolerate more foods long-term.
We focus on rebuilding your digestive strength, not
just eliminating foods forever.
6️⃣ Do you offer ongoing support after my program
ends?
Yes! Once your program is complete, you’ll have the
option to continue with my Essential Elements
Report, which provides ongoing lab testing and
support to help you maintain and optimize your
health.
7️⃣ How do I know if this program is right for me?
If you’re tired of guessing about your gut health,
struggling with IBS-D, bloating, anxiety, fatigue,
food sensitivities, or autoimmunity, and want real answers based on
lab data and personalized protocols, this program is
for you. Book a free call to see if we’re a good fit.
8️⃣ What if I don’t see results by the end of the
program?
Healing is a process, and while many clients see
significant improvements, some need more time,
deeper investigation, or additional support. If you
still have unresolved symptoms, we can continue
working together through additional coaching calls
and advanced functional lab testing to uncover the
missing pieces and refine your protocol. We’ll keep
connecting the dots until you have the clarity and
progress you need.
