Functional Nutrition for Skin Care in Richardson, TX
At Preparations Skin Spa, healthy skin is about more than what we put on the surface.
Nutrition, digestion, hormones, stress, sleep, lifestyle, and overall health can all influence how the skin looks, feels, and functions.
For some clients, professional treatments and a consistent home care routine are only part of the solution. When the skin is not responding as expected, functional nutrition allows us to look deeper and explore factors within the body that may be contributing to what we see on the outside.
As a Functional Nutrition Practitioner with more than 14 years of experience in professional skin care, I combine my understanding of the skin with functional testing, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle support to create a more complete approach to skin health.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition looks at the whole person rather than focusing on one symptom or concern.
The process starts by looking at your health history, current symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep, digestion, existing lab work, and skin health. When appropriate, functional lab testing can provide additional information to help guide your plan.
Depending on your individual needs, testing may include stool and breath testing, a DUTCH test, and/or core blood work.
From there, we create a personalized plan that may include nutrition changes, supplements, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing skin care recommendations.
The goal is not restriction or a quick fix. It is to better understand what your body needs and create sustainable changes that support how you feel and how your skin functions over time. If you agree that your overall appearance is more than skin deep, this program could be a fit for you.

What to Expect During Your Six Month Program
an Advanced Facial in Richardson, TX
Your program begins with an in depth consultation where we review your history, current symptoms, existing lab work, skin concerns, and goals. We will establish your first steps and determine which functional labs, if any, would provide useful information.
While we wait for lab results, we begin with manageable lifestyle adjustments designed to support your current symptoms without overwhelming you with changes.
As results become available, your plan becomes more individualized. This may include nutrition changes, a meal plan, supplement recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and skin care modifications. Certain potentially inflammatory foods may be temporarily reduced and later reintroduced to help identify individual triggers.
Progress is evaluated throughout the six months, with retesting when appropriate. At the end of the program, we will determine whether you are ready to transition to maintenance or would benefit from continuing with another six months of support.
Skin Longevity Genetic Testing
Skin From Within members also have access to the Young Goose Skin Longevity gene test.
This specialized test looks at genetic factors associated with how your skin ages and can provide additional insight into areas and ingredients to focus on as part of your long term skin health plan.
Skin From Within members receive a $200 credit toward the Skin Longevity gene test.
Functional Nutrition FAQs
What My Clients are Asking About My Functional Nutrition Program
-
Functional nutrition coaching takes a personalized approach to nutrition and wellness by looking at factors such as diet, digestion, sleep, stress, lifestyle, lab results, and individual symptoms. At Preparations Skin Spa, functional nutrition coaching is also viewed through the lens of skin health to help create a more complete picture of what may be influencing your skin.
-
Nutrition and lifestyle can influence skin health and may be especially relevant when skin concerns persist despite consistent professional and home care.

In short, no, Preparations Skin Spa is a skin care studio in Richardson, TX that also offers functional nutrition coaching with a credentialed Functional Nutrition Practitioner. My approach combines functional nutrition with more than 14 years of professional skin care experience, allowing me to look at skin health from both the inside and outside.
That said, my husband is also going through functional nutrition training and will be launching a sister company to Preparations Skin Spa that expands functional nutrition beyond skin care and uses it to treat other health conditions, so please keep an eye out for that.
-
No. Functional lab testing, retesting, and supplements are purchased separately. This allows me to recommend only the testing and support that make sense for your individual needs.
-
Unfortunately no. Insurance restricts providers on what they can and cannot cover. In order to deliver the best service, functional nutrition will be an out of pocket program for now.
That said, in some cases, you may be able to get some blood tests covered by your insurance, but we do not help with that and if it is not covered, the client is responsible for the full payment.
-
The first step is an initial consultation with me to discuss your concerns, health history, skin, and goals and determine whether Skin From Within is the right fit. Consultations can be completed in person at Preparations Skin Spa in Richardson, TX or virtually.
-
Yes, for my Functional Nutrition program I can work with clients both in person and virtually across the United States.
