-- Andrea Nakayama, Exited Founder, President & Principal of Functional Nutrition Alliance & Andrea Nakayama LLC, was awarded the “Excellence In Healthcare Award” at the Health 2.0 Conference. The three-day healthcare conference was held from April 7–9, 2026, at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, USA. The award was presented to professionals demonstrating innovation, leadership, and impactful contributions in healthcare and wellness.
Andrea Nakayama became an Integrative and Functional Medicine Nutritionist after losing her husband to terminal brain cancer in their thirties, an experience that exposed the gaps between medical expertise and the lived reality of serious disease. Navigating grief, solo parenting, and her own autoimmune diagnosis, she turned to nutrition and systems biology to understand the body, and to an individualized story to hold everything else.
What began as a personal search grew into the Functional Nutrition Alliance, an acquired multi-million-dollar ed-tech company training practitioners worldwide. Today, Andrea brings a blend of science, narrative, and hard-won wisdom to her writing, teaching, and next-chapter ventures in women’s longevity.
Reflecting on the recognition, Andrea shared, “I'm honored to have received the Excellence In Healthcare Award at the Health 2.0 Conference. It means so much to be recognized for the work I've dedicated my life to. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who has supported this mission along the way, and I remain committed to closing the gap between what we know scientifically and what people actually live through—especially in complex illness, menopause, and later-life transitions.”
This acknowledgment received at the health conference highlighted the growing importance of personalized, systems-based approaches in modern healthcare. Andrea remains focused on expanding access to functional nutrition education while advancing more individualized pathways to long-term wellness.
