Certified Functional Nutritionist · Kelowna, BC
Heal the root cause — not just the symptoms.
You are not your diagnosis. Tammy McDougall, CFNP, fills the gap between you and your doctor — uncovering the food, lifestyle and history clues behind chronic illness, so your body can finally heal.

Functional Programs
Choose the depth of your healing journey.
Three signature programs — each built around your bio-individuality. Every program begins with a free 30-minute strategy session.
WHY AALA NUTRITION
Care your doctor doesn't have time for.
In the real world, doctors don't have time to get to know your story. Tammy spends hours peeling back the layers — your history, your habits, your triggers — to uncover what's actually driving your disease.
Root-cause first
We don't chase symptoms. We find the underlying triggers driving your condition and remove them.
Bio-individual care
No two bodies are the same. Every plan is built around your DNA, history, lifestyle and goals.
Bridge with your doctor
Tammy is your advocate — translating between you and your physician so nothing gets missed.
Food, herbs & lifestyle
Real protocols using nutrition, targeted supplements and sustainable lifestyle shifts.
MEET YOUR NUTRITIONIST
Hi, I'm Tammy McDougall.
I've lived with an autoimmune disease, candida, chronic stress and a 90% blocked artery — and I've maintained each one through functional nutrition. Now I help others do the same, naturally.
As a Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner and member of the AANWC Board, I bring 10+ years of personal healing and clinical study to every client I work with.

Lab Testing
Test, Don't Guess
Functional lab testing can help you understand what may be contributing to how you feel instead of guessing at the cause of your symptoms. By looking more deeply at key markers related to nutrition, hormones, digestion, inflammation, and overall wellness, testing provides valuable insight to guide personalized, informed health decisions. When you have answers, you can work with a qualified healthcare professional to create a plan based on your unique needs—not assumptions.
Direct access to the nation’s most trusted labs
In-depth information about your test and results

Hormone Testing

Heavy Metal Testing
Heavy metal testing can check for elevated levels of metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum.
FIT (Food Inflimation Test)
The FIT (Food Inflammation Test) assesses immune reactions to various foods, helping identify potential food-related inflammation and guide personalized nutrition choices.
NUTRITION PHILOSOPHY
"Aala" — the hunter and the healer.
We were never meant to live in pain. Most chronic illness is the body asking for something it isn't getting — nourishment, rest, safety, balance. My job is to hunt down what's missing and walk with you, mind, body and soul, until you feel whole again.
Bio-individuality
No two stories are the same. No two plans should be.
Epigenetics
Your genes don't define you. Food and lifestyle can rewrite them.
Whole-person
Mind, body and soul — the only way real healing sticks.
CONDITIONS WE SUPPORT
You are not your diagnosis — but we'll address it.
