Dr. Lara Zakaria PharmD, MS, CDN, CNS, IFMCP

About: 

Dr Lara Zakaria is a Pharmacist, Nutritionist, and adjunct professor specializing in Functional Medicine and Personalized nutrition. She began her career in pharmacy community practice, noticing that her patients’ chronic conditions were advancing – and year-to-year accumulating new diagnoses and a longer list of medications – instead of getting healthier. This was the “aha moment” that led her to FxMed and the power of nutrition. Dr Zakaria is passionate about prevention and reversal of metabolic, allergic, and autoimmune disease. She splits her time between clinical practice, teaching, and mentorship in service of expanding awareness and access to FxMed and Personalized Nutrition.
