Mike Peterson is more than just the founder of FunctionalHolistics.com and owner of the cutting edge Bala Yoga studio, he is quickly becoming one of the west coast’s premier experts in the field of Health and Wellness. As a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Holistic Lifestyle Coach and Metabolic Typing® and Diet Coach: Mike takes personal training to a whole new level.

Clients know Mike as both a bona fide guru in eastern philosophies, as well as a prodigy of peak performance. Mike’s holistic talents and expert insights into the good life has lead him to identify negative patterns in diet and exercise that might otherwise go undetected. He soon realized that most people go through their entire lives unaware of the stressors and imbalances they put their bodies through. Mike has made it his personal mission to end these negative cycles.

As one of the most exclusive specialists in Metabolic Typing® and Diet Coaching, Mike works for his clients to create individualized counter-measures that eradicate these imbalances and deficits. Simply put, there are few experts in the field at Mike’s level, or with his specific knowledge base. While his services focus primarily on Womens Health, Stress and Hormones, Hormone Balancing, Metabolic Typing® Diet, Food Sensitivities, Digestive Disorders, Eating Disorders, Infertility, Weight Loss, and Athletes Nutrition, Mike’s expertise can help anyone looking to change their lives in a positive and meaningful way. His work on this subject has been published in major medical journals; Mike also hosts discussions with leading authors on his radio broadcast at HolisticRadio.com.

Mike Peterson has dedicated his entire life to gaining the wisdom and knowledge needed to make his and his client’s lives the very richest and healthiest they can be. First, as a personal trainer at San Diego State Athletic Center, where he learned how to inspire action, and took his first steps as a nutritionist. Over the course of the next four years, he put is knowledge to the test, becoming a professional athlete himself. And after experiencing first-hand that his training proved true in the theoretical, physical and practical sense, Mike finally dedicated his life to helping people achieve their goals. And it shows in the hearts, minds and bodies of his clients.

After years of study, certifications and training from institutions like National Academy of Sports Medicine, Health Excel, as a Metabolic Typing® Advisor/Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and through the CHEK Institute, as a Certified Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Mike is currently pursuing his Naturopathic Doctor degree at Bastyr University. He is planning to open his first Holistic health clinic soon, which will focus primarily on women’s health and wellness. No matter how busy he gets, however, Mike will always have time to work with his clients through FunctionalHolistics.com, and enjoy the simple pleasure of teaching a class at his Bala Yoga studio (BalaYoga.com) from time to time.
