Ciarra Nugent graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Masters in Social Work. She completed her undergraduate studies at Oklahoma State University, receiving a B.A. in Psychology. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ciarra attended rotations at local OU Physicians Clinics. During and shortly after school, she primarily worked within the Medical Social Work field in Hospice, focusing on bereavement counseling and end of life education.

Ciarra’s inspiration for helping others and overall health continued as she began to incorporate fitness and nutrition into her own life. Four years after Ciarra obtained her Crossfit Level 1 Certification and coached Crossfit athletes, she broadened her horizons by becoming a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. In doing so, she became overly aware of the importance that nutrition plays in one’s health and fitness journey. In response, she worked to become a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Coach. Her philosophy in addressing overall health and quality of life lies in a comprehensive approach that combines physical, mental-emotional, and food as medicine treatment methods. She strives to teach patients that good health is multidimensional. She is proud to bring her background and knowledge in fitness, nutrition, and social work into Functional Nutrition Resources. She is equally as honored to join such an exciting and experienced team
