Nutrition

Before recommending any dietary changes or testing, we take a thorough look at what you are eating, when you are eating and how you are eating. Based on this information, signs and symptoms, and past medical history, it is usually possible to identify what nutrition plan would be best. However, if further testing is needed, we have multiple testing options available. The following is a list of things we can incorporate with our evaluation:

• Diet diaries
• Elimination/Challenge plans with potential allergenic foods that are in your diet
• Testing for food sensitivities
• Identification and testing of specific nutrient depletion including iron, magnesium, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D
• Identification, screening and testing for gluten/casein peptides
• Genetic analysis to determine the best diet for your genetics
• Organic acid testing
• Complete Diagnostic Stool Analysis – The ultimate test to determine what is going on with your digestion

Increase your nutritional plan success by learning why you are doing it and how to do eat mindfully, efficiently and effectively.

• Diet correction/modification
• Eating strategies including intermittent fasting
• Mindful eating
• Recipe resources and cooking inspiration
• Increasing beneficial and decreasing harmful foods based on your health

Finally, it is time to create your customized nutrition plan. We can offer the right diet for you based on any of the following:

• Conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (hypothyroidism), rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol, diabetes etc.
• Systems including brain, immune, heart, lung, kidney, skin, eyes, etc.
• Weight loss
• Digestive health

You can’t supplement yourself out of a poor diet. Supplements are meant to be supplemental to core therapy such as diet and exercise. You won’t be walking away with fish oils, magnesium, probiotics, multivitamin, and vitamin D just because they are good for you. We respect the value of our supplements and only prescribe them when needed. Of course, if a patient requests a supplement we are able to accommodate them with professional grade, high quality, well researched products. We offer the following:

• Correcting nutritional deficiencies using food and/or supplements
• Education around source, dose, form and timing of supplements as well as interactions with medications
• Supplement education, reviews and critiques
• Access to high quality probiotics that are targeted towards specific conditions
