Functional Medicine Tools Address Autoimmune and Gut Issues
Smart Wellness, founded by Trisha Howell, MSH, RD, LD/N, IFMCP, introduces advanced root cause nutrition services by appointment in Jacksonville. The functional medicine clinic focuses on identifying underlying factors in digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation, offering individualized care grounded in whole‑person assessment.
Howell brings board certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine—the only professional in Jacksonville and one of five in Florida with that distinction. She conducts thorough evaluations of patient history, labs and lifestyle factors to create customized protocols aimed at reversing or preventing chronic illness. The practice blends nutrition, lifestyle, genetics and environmental insights to support long‑term healing and wellness.
Smart Wellness operates as a fee‑for‑service virtual practice, offering Zoom consultations and kits for home lab tests including stool, nutrient, hormone and genetic analysis. In‑person visits can be arranged when needed. Clients choose from programs ranging from 10‑day detox plans to six‑month functional medicine concierge packages targeting pre‑diabetes, gut optimization and detoxification.
Targeting adults 25 and older, the clinic delivers evidence‑based care for gastrointestinal issues, autoimmunity and metabolic concerns. Howell’s foundation in clinical nutrition and her tenure as founding dietitian at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine reinforce the practice’s credibility.
