About Yamila
Root cause,
not quick fixes.
Why I practise functional nutrition — and how I help the people standard advice has left behind.
I'm Yamila Acosta-Flamma, a Stanford-trained functional nutrition coach. I help people the standard advice has failed find their way back to feeling well — through food, evidence, and a plan built entirely around them.
Why functional nutrition
Too many people are told their labs are “normal” while they feel anything but. Standard advice manages symptoms — a pill for this, a number for that — and rarely asks the harder question: why is this happening in the first place? Functional nutrition starts there, at the root.
How I work
My training is evidence-based, including nutrition science from Stanford, and I keep it that way — no fads, no fear, no shame. Together we map how your history, your symptoms and your labs connect, then rebuild from whole food up, with a plan made for your biology and your real life. I work alongside your doctor, never instead of them.
What I believe
- Food is one of medicine's most underused tools.
- “Normal” labs and actually feeling well are not the same thing.
- There is no one-size protocol — only your body, your history and your life.
- Good information should empower you, not keep you dependent.
