The VIV Functional Medicine Academy (a DBA of Dr. Jasel Martin Enterprises, LLC, including Just Cause Consulting and Heal The Public, LLC) is a health and wellness practice and community. We provide medical nutrition therapy, functional medicine consultations, health education, coaching, and community support. Our services are designed to support the natural physiological and biochemical processes of the human body, rooted in evidence-based functional medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle science.
Scope of Services
Dr. Jasel Martin, DrPH, MBA, MS, CHES, CNSc, is a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) candidate practicing medical nutrition therapy under appropriate supervision and licensure, a certified functional medicine provider, a Doctor of Public Health, and a degreed exercise physiologist. We see patients and clients for nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness support. However, VIV Functional Medicine Academy is not a traditional medical office and does not accept insurance. Our approach is holistic, focusing on education, empowerment, and evidence-based lifestyle changes.
