Nutritional Consultation
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
in the modern world can be a daunting task. There are an overwhelming
number of dietary plans and supplements to choose between. The
individual attention of a nutritional consultation can determine if your
diet and supplement choices are working for you.
Your body is speaking
to you
Everyday your body sends messages, often called symptoms, informing you
about your health. We often consider these messages "just part of
growing old". We have also been taught that it is acceptable to quiet
these messages with synthetic drugs and beauty products. Unfortunately,
the longer we ignore these messages the louder they become, until
eventually they progress into degenerative conditions that interrupt
daily living.
Understanding the messages
Although lab work is available to assess certain nutrients, many
nutrient levels are difficult to measure accurately. Also, testing for
every nutrient can prove very time consuming, costly and invasive. The
assessment provided during your nutritional consultation has the
advantage of not only being comprehensive and non-invasive, it also
characterizes and prioritizes your body's many messages.
Some of what is assessed:
|
You are more than
what
you eat!
Your health is an accumulation of not
only what you eat, but what you absorb, what you metabolize and what you
eliminate. A break in any one link in this chain can result in poor
health. Because of this, it is vital that when seeking answers about
your health the whole picture be considered. Only analyzing your diet
would ignore the fact that the healthiest diet will do nothing for you
if your body is not making use of it; you must look deeper.
Who needs to
supplement?
This is the most commonly asked question of nutritional consultants.
Ideally, diet would be enough, but when it comes to nutrition and modern
living, ideals are not the norm. Everyone can benefit from
supplementation, although the type and the amount will vary.
Supplementation can fill the nutritional gaps created by stress,
processed food, pollution and soil depletion. Choosing the right
supplement is as important as choosing the right diet. These choices can
be difficult, but you do not have to make them alone.
