What Is Nutritional Counseling
Food is medicine. It can make us sick or make us well. Food therapy is a practice of healing using natural foods. We will work with you to recommend foods specific to your health condition, and help you to create meal plans that work for your body. Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve digestion, clear up skin or boost energy, patients are surprised at how simple but effective diet changes can be. We utilize food journaling, blood labs, and symptom survey for the different nutritional counseling.
How Does It Work?
Different kinds of foods can be used as treatments for various ailments. A recommended diet can be used not only for treating disease, but also for maintaining a person’s good health. Garlic, for example, can be used to treat indigestion, diarrhea, dysentery, and whooping cough. But because garlic kills bacteria, detoxifies poisons, strengthens the stomach and promotes digestion, it has also been known to prevent flu. Digestion itself is a cooking process.
Who Would Benefit?
Anyone who wants to maintain health long-term would benefit from dietary therapy. Anyone who has a chronic illness could minimize the symptoms by eating for their constitution and in harmony with nutrition principles.

Catalyte -
The electrolyte mix is designed to replenish the micronutrients lost through sweat during exercise and athletic performance. Studies suggest that an amino acid-electrolyte formula can better increase cellular rehydration compared to formulas without amino acids. The blend of electrolytes and micronutrients includes taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid that supports rehydration at the cellular level.
Heart Health Complex -
Combines CoQ10 with taurine, an amino acid that research indicates can support already normal levels of cholesterol, and which, by aiding in the regulation of intracellular calcium levels, helps protect the heart muscle and support cardiac rhythm. The flavonoid compounds in hawthorn (Crataegus oxycantha) appear to strengthen blood vessels and support cardiac function. Hawthorn has also been shown to help maintain already normal blood pressure, heart rate, and exercise capacity. The minerals in Heart Health Complex – magnesium and potassium – are necessary for optimal cardiovascular function.
Potassium Citrate -
Potassium plays a vital role in the proper functioning of skeletal muscle and the heart muscle. It is essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contractility, and maintaining normal blood pressure, energy production, and nucleic acid synthesis. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diets high in potassium provide numerous benefits to cardiovascular health.
