Nutritional Medicine

”You are what you eat”

Dietary recommendations often made tend to be more focused on the specific intakes that avoid deficiency rather than those which promote optimal health. We are almost invariably certain about the nutritional requirements that are needed to avoid illness. There is however often little information, and indeed much argument in the nutritional world, about the doses of nutritional supplements required to sustain optimal health (e.g. vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and trace elements).

This is especially important in a high state of nutritional demand, for instance during a disease process or when an individual is undergoing unusual physical or mental demands. While we certainly eat enough to suffer from increasing rates of obesity, a significant minority are probably simultaneously suffering from nutritional deficiencies.

This is probably associated with the rise of high fat, high carbohydrate and low nutrient value junk food with relatively lower levels of trace elements and vitamins.

If desired extensive personal nutritional counseling on diet and supplements will be provided as well as a customize health supplement regimen to improve energy and stimulate metabolism.
