Diet & Nutrition

Why is Nutrition Important?

Nutrition is the most important foundation of health. The foods we eat provide the building blocks of our cells, tissues, enzymes, everything! If the body is not receiving or absorbing the essential nutrients it needs, it will not function optimally and will predispose the individual to dis-ease states.
"Eat Food. Not too much.
​Mostly plants." 
-Michael Pollan

Which Diet Do You Suggest?

There have been many theories regarding nutrition, with constantly changing fads between paleo, raw, vegan, Atkin’s diet, Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher’s, the Zone, etc. It is very difficult to determine which diet is right for you, especially when each diet plan claims to be the best.

The Naturopathic approach to nutrition is to individualize the diet plan to best suit your unique health needs. We look at the whole picture, including your:


  • Energy expenditure
  • Lifestyle habits
  • Body constitution
  • Genetic background
  • Cultural background
  • Income
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Health status

​
By assessing these aspects of health, we can make dietary recommendations that are tailored to your unique mental, physical and emotional well being. 

We understanding that dietary changes are difficult to make and may involve changing ingrained habits and beliefs about food. Therefore, we work with you to find the best method to improve your diet and regain health and vitality.
