Responsibilities :

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

Are passionate about reversing the autoimmune epidemic and helping people live healthier lives through functional nutrition

Have experience delivering care that goes beyond traditional approaches, focusing on whole-body health rather than food pyramid guidelines

Are curious, open to growth, and able to provide and receive feedback constructively

Are excited to work in an innovative startup environment with autonomy and creativity

Are someone with a passion for holistic health and willingness to embrace supplements, lab testing, and advanced care techniques

Familiarity with autoimmune conditions and ability to assess and recommend personalized interventions, including diets, supplements, and testing

You might not enjoy working with us if you:

Like working in a more established, structured environment. You'll help build our company's culture, processes, and ways of working

Don't like working with ambiguity—since we're an early-stage startup, projects and priorities shift

Are looking for lots of guidance in your role—while our team members have a ton of expertise to share, we'll also be looking to you to take ownership and work autonomously

Like your work to be well-defined from the get-go. We'll be looking to you to bring your own experience and perspective to help us do the right things and flag if you think we should do things differently.

You will have the opportunity to bring creativity and ownership to your projects

Prefer working only in person. We are a remote company and will have in-person events every year, but will not require employees to be in an office every day

What You’ll Do

Collaborate with members to assess health concerns and provide personalized care plans using a functional nutrition approach

Leverage functional lab testing to evaluate nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and gut health, tailoring interventions to address root causes

Guide members in adopting sustainable, anti-inflammatory diets, addressing lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, and movement
