We look at Nutrition through the Holistic Medicine Model

Holistic Nutrition is nutrition-based care that is focused on building health by restoring proper physiological functioning of the body. Symptoms are our bodies way of telling us that something is out of balance. When you have multiple symptoms, these are clues to the ways in which your body is not functioning the way that it should be. Rather than suppress those symptoms with natural or pharmaceutical agents, we want to “read” those symptoms to understand which systems in your body need support to get back on track so that you can have optimal health.

By looking at your whole picture including diet, symptoms, illness history, medications, lifestyle, toxic exposure, history of antibiotic use, stress, lab work, etc. we are able to put together a comprehensive approach and plan. That plan serves as an overall map of the nutrition your body needs to regain health and prevent illness. The holistic approach assumes that food contains molecules that are necessary, purposeful and designed to support life, promote well being and optimal health. Looking at clinical nutrition from a functional perspective means understanding the roles of these molecules in human beings, and then using them in specific ways to address patients illnesses.

We work with patients and clients who have not found the solutions to their chronic health issues, as well as those interested in preventive health, and who are willing to commit to making dietary changes. We have systems in place to help each patient find the right nutritional plan for their individual needs.
