Nutrition, Diet & Wellness

Nutrition is the use of food as medicine.  Due to your current lifestyle, refined food consumption, stress levels and genetic pre-disposition you may not be meeting the nutritional requirements your body has to keep you healthy. 

The naturopathic nutritionist uses fresh whole foods and supplements to re-establish an optimum nutritional status according to your specific needs.

Good nutrition is the foundation of good health.  Everyone needs the four basic nutrients - water, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats- as well as vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients. To be able to choose the proper foods, and to better understand why those foods should be supported with supplements, you need to have a clear picture of not only the components of a healthy diet but of your specific body composition and variables that include your current health status and medication you may be on.
