Happy TumMies with Nutritionist Courtney Cowie, LBT

Many thanks to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Courtney Cowie, LBT, NTP, FDN-P, PN2-MHC, for joining me on the Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner. Courtney is a nutrition health coach who specializes in helping people with gastrointestinal distress or excessive weight gain when conventional medical approaches fail.

Courtney is certified in functional diagnostic nutrition testing. These tests assess adrenal health, hormone balance, and oxidative stress, and can help explain chronic, disagreeable gastrointestinal symptoms. Courtney has had great success working with patients to identify dietary triggers and alter their eating behaviors and lifestyles. These interventions can have a surprisingly beneficial effect on gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, frequent bowel movements, and lack of energy.

During our 30-minute conversation, we addressed the potential harms of ultraprocessed foods and excessive weight gain. Courtney advised healthier food alternatives, as well as the benefits of an individualized, holistic approach to health.
