How nutritional therapy can alleviate symptoms of 3 common health conditions

A few months ago, I explained what nutritional therapy is and the role it plays in your customized health plan. I wanted to share a follow up post because now that you understand nutritional therapy, you may be wondering if it is the right choice for you. Below you can find some common conditions that my patients experience, and how nutritional therapy can help to address them.

Digestive Health

Digestive conditions (such as IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and Celiac disease) can lead to poor nutrient absorption, inflammation, malnutrition, toxin buildup in the colon and more. Because these diseases are so closely linked to diet, having a personalized nutritional therapy plan can help relieve and reduce these uncomfortable and often painful symptoms.

Diabetes

Nutritional therapy is effective in managing type 1, type 2 and even gestational diabetes. All forms of diabetes are characterized by the body producing higher-than-average blood sugar levels. A diabetes nutritional therapy plan will often focus on carb intake because carbs have a big impact on blood sugar levels.

Heart Disease

Saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium can all worsen symptoms of heart disease. A nutritional therapy plan for heart disease will likely limit the intake of foods that contain these nutrients to reduce your risk for stroke, heart attack, aneurysm, heart failure and death.

If you don’t see a particular health condition listed here, don’t worry! These are just a few of the many chronic ailments that nutritional therapy can address. I invite you to learn how nutritional therapy can benefit you by scheduling a complimentary nutrition response testing consultation below.
