Do you think a lot about eating more healthy or wonder about taking supplements but just do not know where to start? There is a lot of information out there on nutritional supplements, specific diets, as well as using herbal supplements to maintain health, prevent chronic disease and promote healthy living. It can be hard to decipher the safety information or to know what could be useful for you and your health. Clinical nutrition helps to put all of these important components of nutrition together in a way to promote your overall health and wellbeing. Clinical nutrition is defined as the study of how our bodies naturally process food in order to keep us healthy. It looks at how the body digests, absorbs, transports, metabolizes, stores and eliminates food.
Benefits of Clinical Nutrition
Our bodies need nutrients each day in order to function optimally and stay healthy. Since many of us do not always get these in our normal diet, you may find that you need to supplement your diet with vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements. Herbal supplements are another area Naturopathic Doctors are very skilled in and can be used to treat and/or prevent disease and/or illness. This is a natural approach to treatment, and research indicates that diet and nutrients as well as botanicals may be highly effective in treating conditions like heart disease, endocrine conditions, immune health, psychological health and much, much more.

Everyone’s needs are different, and we will sit down with you and gather information about your diet, your health history, your concerns and complete an evaluation so that we can make specific recommendations about your diet and any supplements and botanicals that will be beneficial to add.
