Nutritional Counseling
It is very important to not only provide knowledge but also to recognize that most people have plenty of information available to them. If you asked any person who walks into a doctors office if they are aware of a 1/2 dozen things they could do tomorrow to improve their health they would all say yes. the question is why don't they do them? That may be because new habits need to be created so that healthy eating and living becomes second nature. For most of us eating poorly requires no thought because we are used to it. But eating healthy requires you to take mental energy away from something else and direct it to the new actions you have to take to be healthy. It takes approximately 90 days to implement new habits. Nutritional strategies have to be designed and implemented for each individual
Often, the laboratory testing we perform ( blood, ASI, stool, etc..) reveals that there may be some vicious cycles that need to be broken. A vicious cycle is when a certain biochemical / hormonal pathway is not functioning well, it remains that way long after the cause has been removed. This results in poor health even though the habits have been changed for the better. Vicious cycles can be corrected with the use of functional medicine.
