Nutrition

The main focus of nutritional counselling is to build wellness. Our bodies are built from the raw materials we eat. The more suitable our food choices are to our specific requirements, the better cell structures we can build. Since every person is biochemically unique, all individual imbalances and weaknesses must be assessed in constructing a nutritional program.

What is clinical nutrition? 

Clinical nutrition treats individuals with specific nutritional deficiency conditions. It is recognized that certain doses of nutrients have the power to prevent illness. Scientific research continues to uncover the therapeutic role of individual nutrients to protect against the development of several ailments, such heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other chronic degenerative diseases. 

Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioners (ROHPs) are scientific evidence-based trained nutritional professionals who will: 

Educate you about diet, lifestyle, and detoxification for optimum health and energy. 

Help you build a healthier diet incorporating the latest nutritional breakthroughs and personalized dietary supplement programs.

Design an individualized nutrition program respecting your unique biochemistry, food sensitivities and intolerances to help you build and maintain wellness. 

Consider environmental pollution, metal toxicity, micro-organism imbalances, and other factors that can contribute to your body’s total toxic load and chronic disease. 

Support your body’s natural detoxification processes to help eliminate wastes and toxins that can damage cells, tissues, and organs. ROHPs can help you with lifestyle changes that incorporate the many benefits of regular exercise: better cardio and lung capacity, more energy, muscle tone, posture improvement, stress release, weight control, and mood enhancement.

What are nutritional supplements?

Nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and other food components support good health and prevent illness. It's important to incorporate nutrients into your diet primarily from food, supplementation may also be required to help maintain sufficient levels and produce desired effects. Vitamins and minerals play an essential role in the body's normal metabolism, growth, and development. Most vitamins and minerals work together biochemically in the body. Supplementation combined with a healthy diet and a regular exercise program is the best combination for optimal health. A clinical nutritionist can help you determine what type of diet is best for you.
