Nutritional Evaluation and Dietary Counseling |
|
Identifying nutritional deficiencies and adopting dietary and nutritional supplementation regimes suited to your body’s needs will provide the necessary nutrients to prevent or even cure disease.
Your body requires the correct balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutritional factors in order for all of the biochemical pathways to function optimally. Dr. Chan’s expertise will help you identify any deficiencies in your diet and show you how to correct them.
But even if you do have a very nutritious diet, your body still has to be able to absorb those nutrients. This mean your digestion system must be working well. Gas, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, and other such symptoms are clues that you are not getting everything that you should be getting from your food and could be contributing to nutritional deficiencies that negatively affect your health. Dr. Chan will develop a treatment protocol that can re-establish healthy digestive function.
Finally, the reality is that we are all unique and some individuals can have adverse reactions to foods that most other people can safely eat. Allergies are caused by an abnormal reaction of the immune system to specific proteins in food. Food intolerances, however, are much more common. These sensitivities can manifest in the form of headaches, eczema, dry skin, digestive upset, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, and other symptoms. Foods sensitivities are not as severe as allergic reactions but, over time they do have an effect on overall health since they prevent absorption of nutrients. Through the use of dietary modification, cleansing and detoxification programs, Dr. Chan can help you quickly eliminate a problem or ailment that has been present for many years. |
