Nutrition & Functional Medicine in Chattanooga, TN
Because Doing the Work Deserves Real Results
Symptoms aren’t random—they’re your body’s way of asking for support. We help you interpret those signals, identify what’s missing, and build lasting health with clarity and confidence.
Most of our clients come to us having already put in the work—they’ve cleaned up their diet, tried eliminating food groups, tracked macros, followed protocols, and experimented with supplements. Yet, their energy remains inconsistent, digestion still feels off, and progress never seems to stick. That’s because most health strategies are designed to manage symptoms, not investigate them. At Proactive Health, we take a different view—treating symptoms as signals, not problems. Our approach looks beneath the surface to identify what’s driving your imbalance, so you can move forward with clarity and achieve lasting change.
Who This Is For
You’re doing the work—but you still don’t feel like yourself.
You’re tired of feeling “off” without a clear next step, and despite your discipline, symptoms persist—and no one has helped you connect the dots.
This program is for adults who are:
Frustrated by vague advice and ready for a clear, personalized, holistic strategy
Experiencing unresolved symptoms like fatigue, bloating, or hormonal shifts—even with “normal” labs
Interested in root-cause healing—not just symptom management
Overwhelmed by conflicting information and tired of figuring it out alone
Looking for a supportive environment that offers both structure and flexibility
Ready to improve metabolic function, reduce inflammation, and restore balance from the ground up
If you want to feel energized, clear, and in control of your health again—this is where it starts.
Root-Cause Care That Actually Starts at the Root
Most functional medicine promises to look deeper. But in reality, it often repeats the same mistakes as conventional care—just with different tools. Instead of medications, it’s supplements. Instead of real food, it’s meal replacements. Instead of addressing the foundations of health, it chases trendy diagnoses and overcomplicated testing.
We believe functional medicine should start with what actually works: addressing your foundation. We don’t rely on gimmicks or silver-bullet protocols. We help your body do what it’s designed to do—heal, balance, and thrive—by removing what’s getting in the way and restoring what’s missing.
Our approach begins with a whole foods-based nutrition strategy, strategic detoxification, and targeted nutrient support based on blood chemistry and metabolic function. Supplement protocols are minimal, intentional, and always evolving to support—not replace—real health. Because true healing doesn’t come from treating symptoms with pills, powders, or patches. It comes from rebuilding the foundation—so your body can do what it’s already built to do.
How Our Process Works:
1. Assess What’s Really Going On
A deep dive into your history, lifestyle, and blood chemistry to understand your true starting point.
2. Remove What’s in the Way
Reduce internal stressors and triggers that are keeping your body from healing and responding.
3. Replenish What’s Missing
Support your body with personalized nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and targeted nutrient strategies.
4. Evolve as You Improve
We refine your plan over time as your body adapts—because healing isn’t static.
Our Process
Lasting Results Start With a Strong Foundation
You can’t optimize a system that’s already under stress. We start by identifying what’s out of balance, restoring function, and strengthening your foundation—so your body can finally do what it’s designed to do: heal, adapt, and thrive.
Problems We Solve
We help you go from feeling “off” to feeling fully in control—through a clear, personalized strategy that actually supports how your body works.
With a food-first, clinically guided approach, care at Proactive Health helps high-performing adults address the real root of their symptoms, rebuild their foundation, and finally feel energized and resilient again.

Doing the Proactive Health Reset Program has been the best decision I have made for my health. Before seeing Dr. Natalie Bays I knew I had had some issues with my body but never understood what those were. Making the commitment to turn my health around improved all of my lab work and has helped me make better decisions when it came to nutrition. My physical and mental well-being are in such a better place and I am forever grateful.
