Nutritional Counseling
After working with 1,000's of patients, I have had many individuals approach me and ask, "Why is the food that I put in my body so important to my well-being?"
The average American has erroneous beliefs around food. Just because what we consume is sold in supermarkets across the land, we assume it’s safe to eat. We believe the FDA is looking out for our best interests and would not allow foods that could harm us to ever reach the shelves of our supermarkets.
NOTHING IS FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!
Simply stated, food is the essence of life. What we put into our bodies has the power to be life sustaining or life depleting.
I always tell patients that I wish every consumer was given the courses on nutrition that I have taken. They have taught me to be more conscious to what I choose to place in my body. The human body is a self-healing and self-regulating machine. It miraculously extracts from food that which it needs and rids itself of the rest. Due to the business side of food and sustainability, manufacturing has added chemicals, preservatives, additives, dyes, and other inert ingredients to enhance shelf life and profits. Unfortunately, these ingredients can be life depleting over time.
For many people, food and diet are very problematic. Instead of being a source of nourishment, food has become an area of conflict and confusion- endless weight loss dramas, eating disorders, cravings, addictions, body image obsessions and never-ending searches for “the best” nutritional system.
The simple process of consumption, assimilation and elimination has taken over our lives. Food for us is largely cultural and psychological rather than instinctual. We need to learn how to nourish ourselves, sustain our bodies properly, cultivate positive habits and allow food to encourage rather than punish us. With this being said, NUTRITION is extremely real...
It is my intention to support any and all patients with their nutritional needs. I would be honored to provide you with guidance when it comes to nutrition and overall lifestyle. This is why I would like to offer you the opportunity to schedule a Nutritional Consultation so that we can provide you with personalized recommendations and guidance.
The world of nutrition is an extremely confusing place to navigate which is why we would be honored to support you and assist you on your path to health and wellness.
THE BIOMERIDIAN
Biomeridian testing is a noninvasive method used to assess the energy meridians (channels) of the body. It can tell you:
- The functional status of your meridians and their related organs, systems, or functions, by determining if they are stressed, balanced, or weakened, and by how much.
- Which specific nutritional products will bring your unbalanced meridians back to balance.
- If a product you have in hand will bring you to balance.
- If you have specific sensitivities to foods, molds pollens, etc.
- If you have spinal misalignment's interfering with your meridian energy flow, and their location.
This test would benefit anyone interested in examining and improving the functional energetic status of their own bodies. This applies to those who are unwell and looking to improve their health as well as those who have no diagnosable illness but would like to optimize their current state of health and possibly prevent future negative health issues.
Please call the office (724-934-3911) if you have any questions or to schedule a Nutritional appointment using this technology today.
