Nutritional Counseling in St. Petersburg Florida
Personalized nutrition support to restore balance, improve energy, and support long-term wellness—without fads, shame, or restriction.
Food is medicine—but it’s also comfort, culture, and deeply personal. At Dr. Holly Durning & Associates, our approach to nutrition goes beyond calorie counting or trendy diets. We look at the whole picture: your symptoms, your goals, your lifestyle, and your constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Whether you're navigating chronic conditions or simply want to feel more vibrant in your body, we’ll help you nourish yourself with clarity and confidence.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), yin and yang food refers to the concept that all foods possess intrinsic energies that are either cooling/moistening (yin) or warming/drying (yang), and that eating a balanced combination of these energies is essential for internal health and harmony.
Transform your relationship with food and fuel your body with intention.
We believe nutrition isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s about how your body processes, absorbs, and responds to it. Our approach blends functional medicine, Chinese medicine principles, and modern science to uncover the root cause of imbalance. Whether you're looking to heal your gut, balance hormones, boost energy, or reduce inflammation, we’ll meet you where you are and help you build sustainable habits that nourish from the inside out.

Is Nutritional Counseling
Right for You?
You deserve to feel good in your body—and food can either support or sabotage that balance. If you’ve been trying to “eat healthy” but still feel off, exhausted, or stuck in cycles of restriction and frustration, you’re not alone. Our functional nutrition services are designed for real people with real challenges—not just those who want to lose weight or follow a perfect meal plan.

You feel tired, bloated, moody, or inflamed—even with a “healthy” diet
If you’re already trying to make good choices but still feel off, it may be time to look deeper. Nutrient absorption issues, food sensitivities, blood sugar swings, or chronic inflammation could be silently working against you. We help uncover what’s happening beneath the surface.
You struggle with hormone imbalances, weight fluctuations, or skin issues
Your body is constantly communicating through your symptoms. Acne, brain fog, irregular periods, stubborn weight, or mood swings can all be signs of imbalance. Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools we have to regulate hormones and calm internal chaos.
You want to transition off restrictive diets or detox from non-consistent eating habits
If you're tired of “starting over every Monday,” jumping between diet plans, or labeling food as good or bad, we’ll help you reset your mindset. Our approach is empowering, not punishing—focusing on nourishment, not deprivation.
You live with PCOS, IBS, autoimmune disorders, or food sensitivities
Functional nutrition offers targeted strategies to ease the burden on your gut, immune system, and hormones. Whether you're dealing with flare-ups, unpredictable symptoms, or chronic discomfort, we’ll create a plan that works with your body—not against it.
You want expert, compassionate guidance on how to support your body with food
Forget generic advice or one-size-fits-all plans. You deserve personalized care that takes your goals, history, and preferences into account. We’ll help you understand what your body truly needs—and how to give it that in a way that feels supportive, not stressful.

Answers Frequently To Asked Questions
No. Our functional nutrition counseling focuses on root causes, holistic strategies, and individual biochemistry—not generic guidelines or calorie plans.
Absolutely. In fact, combining nutrition with body-based therapies often leads to faster and deeper healing.
We provide flexible meal guidance, recipe ideas, and support for food prep—but always tailored to your needs and lifestyle, not one-size-fits-all meal plans.
