Clinical Nutrition
Clinical Nutrition is the therapeutic use of food and supplements to prevent and treat illness.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I will assess for:
-
Food sensitivities and allergies
-
Quality of diet
-
Digestive issues
-
Risk factors for acute and chronic disease linked to diet
-
Foods that may be harming the body
A healthy well-balanced diet consisting of the necessary vitamins, minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, fibre and amino acids is essential for providing the body with what it needs to function and heal. Supplements can be used to correct any nutritional deficiencies that are contributing to a state of imbalance. Some benefits of treatment include increased energy, improved mental alertness, and increased ability to cope with stress.
