Nutrition and Supplements

​

Remember when your mother would say ‘You are what you eat’, well she could not have been more right! The secret to great health is having the right nutrition. When you can eat nutritious foods without discomfort and absorb their nutrients properly, then that food is great nutrition for you. The body best consumes nutrition in "real food" with minimal or no processing.  Indigestion, bloating, or other digestive troubles upon eating certain foods give an indication that you are not absorbing and assimilating that food properly and is not helping you function normally.  This can result in sluggish digestion and interferes with the ability to gain or lose weight.  

 

1.  My first step in your nutritional optimization is getting the gut working better, moving food and waste better and absorbing the nutrition your body needs.  

2.  My next step in your nutritional optimization is helping you achieve the best body weight and body composition for you.  This may involve testing of things like saliva, urine, or blood, but that is not always necessary.  This will likely require a change in diet and lifestyle, there is no pill you can take to give you perfect health. I will be your partner in the journey to the best you.  

3.  Additional supplementation on a short-term basis may be taken to yield faster results.  If you happen to be allergic to the nutritional supplements you are taking, this can actually make you feel worse. Once we clear specific supplement allergies, your body can absorb and assimilate the nutrition.

 

You can begin the process with a nutritional optimization consultation.  I will map out a plan for you and be there for you every step of the way.  Start by scheduling a New Patient Nutrition Appointment.
