Functional Nutrition Laconia
At Hokanson Wellness Clinic, we believe that achieving optimal health starts with understanding your body’s unique nutritional needs. Our functional nutrition services focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. Dr. Craig Hokanson, DC, adopts a whole-body approach, using advanced lab tests to uncover nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, and imbalances. Whether you’re managing chronic conditions, struggling with fatigue, or looking to enhance your overall wellness, functional nutrition can help you achieve long-term, sustainable results.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is a personalized approach to healthcare that assesses your body’s unique needs to create tailored dietary and lifestyle plans. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, functional nutrition takes into account factors such as:

- Metabolic health
- Gut health and digestion
This evidence-based approach helps uncover the root causes of your health concerns, empowering you to take control of your wellness journey.
