Dr. Robert Nia
After retiring from active medical practice, I chose to dedicate my life to what I’ve seen make the most profound difference in people’s lives — nutrition and functional medicine. I believe food and lifestyle are powerful tools for healing, and my mission is to help individuals unlock their body’s natural ability to thrive.
Through personalized Nutritional Lifestyle Coaching, I guide clients in identifying the root causes of imbalance and create tailored plans that restore health, energy, and vitality. It’s not just about treating symptoms — it’s about transforming lives from the inside out.
Background
As a Retired Integrative Physician, Educator, and Health Coach, I bring together medical expertise, research, and a passion for holistic wellness. My work combines evidence-based science with the principles of functional nutrition to help people achieve true, lasting well-being.
