Thomas Prather, CNS, MS, CA | Nutritionist

About Thomas Prather

Hello, I’m Thomas – a Functional Nutritionist from San Diego, California. Having battled with my own health issues throughout life, I can relate to the struggle that many people endure. It’s often a long and difficult path, but with the root cause approach, I’ve noticed that my clients find more sustainable paths to healing. By training, I’m a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), which means I’ve acquired a Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition from Logan University, completed 1000 hours of supervised experience, and passed the BCNS board exam. I am also a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist in MD and PA, have completed multiple certifications pertaining to my specialties (see below), and am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. As a functional nutritionist and fitness expert, I focus on discovering the underlying causes of toxicity and deficiency affecting my clients’ health. I use state-of-the-art testing and self-evaluation methods to do so and determine how they can detox and replete their bodies. With this approach, I proudly help my clients find deeper answers to their conditions and have seen it help hundreds of them reclaim their lives. I truly believe and practice that what we eat, how we move, how we sleep, and how we think is foundational to the healing process of the body. I also know that if more people can learn to embrace this truth, our world will continue to flourish. So I aim to continue my work as a healer and educator, to influence the world at large in accordance with this truth, and to enable a deeper state of healing within whomever I reach.
