Clinical and Metabolic Nutrition

My clinical/metabolic nutrition offering is comparable to seeing a registered dietitian, but holistic. It does not directly involve meal planning or calorie-counting, but it’s more about incorporating diet and lifestyle changes for better overall health. This is in direct contrast to conventional nutrition which can often be assumed to be only for weight management or diabetes. Nutritional therapy is a very thorough, clinical approach to using nutrient-dense, whole-food nutrition for supporting your health to help you get back to feeling great again.

It involves a nutritional assessment (a formalized method for determining what needs the most attention; see charts below), food and lifestyle recommendations, supplements (if needed), and ongoing follow-up sessions to ensure that you are on a path to optimal health.

I don’t push one specific type of diet for everyone. Instead, my philosophy is about making small adjustments toward nutrient-dense, properly prepared whole foods with what you are already eating. Swapping simple ingredients for better quality can go a long way! 

If you really want to follow a particular non-commercialized diet (paleo, AIP, keto, vegetarianism, etc.), I can tailor my recommendations to support that. After all, certain diets are great for certain ailments (such as GAPS or a ketogenic diet to treat mental illness). However, we all have bioindividual needs and I may recommend a specific type of diet for you based on your personal health goals. I don't recommend any commercial diets (Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, etc.) because they have a financial interest and bias, making them conventional rather than holistic.

Regardless of your main health goals, the cool thing is that when you are working to improve your nutrition, other aspects of your health will naturally improve, too!
