NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

NUTRITION THROUGH FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

When people think about nutrition, they usually think about weight loss.

However, more and more we are learning that the foods we eat and our overall lifestyle are tightly linked to our risk for disease.

Furthermore, science is now showing that not only can diet prevent disease, but it can also significantly impact existing diseases.

As a result, any comprehensive medical/wellness program needs to provide a great nutritional support program, customized specifically to individual needs.

Saying everyone needs to be on a low-calorie diet, with no regard to the quality of the food being consumed, is outdated and irrelevant.

That old-school cookie-cutter approach to nutrition does not work!

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE APPROACH TO NUTRITION

In Healthpark Medical Center we look at nutrition through the lens of functional medicine.

We look at what is going on in the body. Do you have digestive issues, food sensitivities, chronic pain, hormone issues, autoimmune conditions, thyroid issues, or toxicity? What is the cause of these issues?

In Healthpark Medical Center we work to get to the bottom of these questions.

Once we have our answers, we can put together a customized approach with both diet and supplement support to work toward resolving these issues.

WEIGHT LOSS FROM INSIDE OUT

More and more people today have trouble losing weight. Most doctors think that if you can't lose weight, you are eating more than you say you are. However, that is not always the case. When someone has chronic inflammation as a result of hormonal issues, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, etc., it is much harder to lose weight.

In Healthpark Medical Center we address weight loss from the inside out.

The doctor addresses the underlying cause of your inability to lose weight, and the nutritionist develops a customized program to complement the doctor's program.

FOODIE FRIENDLY LIFESTYLE

In Healthpark Medical Center we do not like the word "diet".

Diet, by definition, sets you up for failure. A diet is a rigid set of rules around food that you do for an allotted time. But then what? Once the time ends, you go back to doing what you were doing before and gain back all the weight.

It is all about lifestyle!

A lifestyle, by definition, is a program where you do not feel deprived, and you enjoy your food. It can't be any other way. If you feel deprived, you can only do it for so long. This brings you right back to square one of the diet dilemma. Believe it or not, you can lose weight, improve your health, and still enjoy your food.

One of the biggest roles of the nutritionist at Healthpark Medical Center is to give you tasty, creative, and healthy ideas so you can really change your lifestyle and like it!
