Nutrition
We are what we eat. Clinical
nutrition examines the relationship between diet and our health. The food
choices you make on a daily basis affect how you feel, how your body functions,
and your risk for chronic disease. Today’s results oriented culture is
overwhelmed with promoting fad diets, and quick fixes to weight loss and other
health concerns. This, combined with the plethora of available nutritional
supplements makes determining sound choices very overwhelming. Your ND can help. A thorough health history and diet diary is a key component in determining how nutrition may be contributing to your health. A personalized diet, and possibly nutritional supplements may be recommended to address deficiencies, treat diseases and promote health. The benefits of improved nutrition may include a more effective immune system, increased energy, improved gastrointestinal function and general well-being.
- Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s safe: Nutritional supplements can be very effective when used properly, however, they can be toxic when used incorrectly. Naturopathic Doctors have extensive training in the pharmacology of both nutritional substances and conventional medicines, solid understanding of nutrient-drug interactions, dosing, potential side-effects, and compounding formulations. Your ND has the training to use nutritional supplements safely and effectively.
