What is Clinical Nutrition?

Simply put, Clinical Nutrition is a holistic approach to healthcare. It is an alternative to the traditional pharmaceutical based, healthcare model. Clinical Nutrition focuses on keeping the body strong and healthy. It is an undisputed fact that a strong healthy body is better able to defend itself from disease, versus a weak unhealthy body.

Clinical nutrition is the relationship between food and a healthy body. Even more, it is the science of nutrients and how they are digested, absorbed, transported, metabolized, stored, and eliminated by the body. Additionally, clinical nutritionists’ are interested in how the environment affects the quality and safety of foods, and what influence these factors have on health and disease.

Clinical Nutrition is personalized for each patient, based on a specific plan, designed by nature to enable the body to repair itself and grow healthfully.

We have great success with the following:

Balancing Hormones
Menstrual Dysfunction at all ages

And Many More . . .

Vitamins that are being used today, generally only need to have a small percentage of their actual content from natural sources to be labeled “natural”. If they are not derived from whole foods, they often make you even more deficient and nutritionally deprived. They can create other health problems because they do not contain all of the co-factors found in nature that make the vitamin work, which will then call upon the body’s own reserves to process it, creating a negative nutritional effect (nutritional deficiency).

Our nutritional approach uses 100% organic whole food supplements. The supplements that we use are manufactured by the Standard Process Company. With our 100% organic whole food supplements, there is no risk of adverse interactions with your medications. These whole food supplements are just organically grown foods, in high concentrations. You will have no more reaction from them, than you do from foods you buy at the local grocery store. The good thing is, that these supplements have vital phyto-nutrients and antioxidants, that will assist your body with improving your health.

Remember that we are not necessarily replacing your medications, we are just helping the body along side the medications ... a support, if you will. Only your prescribing doctor can take you off your medications. So with our Clinical Nutrition approach we can arm your body with the support it needs to combat almost any ailment. It is interesting to note that for every prescription medication, there is a set of synergistic whole food supplementation.

Are the vitamins you take causing deficiencies? Research indicates that synthetic vitamins may actually be the cause of nutritional deficiencies. Whenyou take a synthetic vitamin, it needs the co-factors normally found in the whole food, in order to complete its action. If they are not in the foods you eat, it will draw the co-factors from your body. You may feel good for a while but when the co-factors run out, you will begin to feel worse. The prolonged action of the synthetics imitates the action of drugs; they over-stimulate rather than feed your body.

Remember, just because it says "organic" or in a Health Food Store, doesn't mean it is good for you, don't be fooled by labeling.

"100% certified organic": No synthetic ingredients are allowed by law, cannot be produced using excluded methods, sewage sludge, pesticides or ionizing radiation.
"Organic": At least 95% of ingredients are organically produced.
"Made with Organic Ingredients": At least 70% of ingredients are organic.
"Made with some Organic Ingredients": Less than 70% of ingredients are organic.
"Free-range" or "free-roaming": Animals had an undetermined amount of daily outdoor access. (not restricted by pens)
"Natural" or "All Natural": Doesn't mean organic. No standard definition, except for meat and poultry products, which may or may not contain any artificial flavoring, colors, chemical preservatives, or synthetic ingredients. Claims aren't checked. (all natural and organic are not interchangeable, as you maybe lead to believe.)

“Just as the chemist cannot create life, neither can he create a complex vitamin: the life element in foods and nutrition. This is a mystery the chemist has never solved and probably never will, and the synthetic vitamins he creates on the basis of chemical formulae bear as much resemblance to the real thing as a robot does to a living man, lacking an elusive quality that chemistry cannot supply.”Quote From Dr. Royal Lee – 1953
