WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE?
Nutritional medicine is a holistic and science-based approach to the interactions of both nutrition and environment on human health. All humans are unique in terms of biochemistry, metabolism, anatomy, and genetics. Nutritional medicine works with the body as a whole; the systems of the body interact together.
Many health conditions stem from nutrition deficiencies. Deficiencies are far more common than people think. A lack of nutrients can be due to farming methods, poor soil quality, drugs (prescription and recreational), toxins in our environment (cosmetics, household cleaners, pollution), food processing, digestive issues, and poor food choices.
The world we live in is extremely different from our ancestors. The pressure we put on our bodies physically, socially and emotionally causes more chronic disease than anything else. Our bodies are not designed to digest and break down processed foods, chemicals or synthetics. Residual toxicity, genetics, environmental factors, lifestyle, and chronic illness are the many reasons why we are functioning at less than our optimum.
A nutritionist asks the questions, “What has caused this problem?” and “What can we do to restore function using food as medicine and lifestyle changes?”. In other words, it is about finding out the root cause and not just covering up the symptoms.
If you’re interested in healing naturally and restoring your health instead of the band-aid fix that usually never lasts, then you’re on the right page. A nutritionist can help you on your path to healing.
Elizabeth Pattalis is very supportive of working with orthodox medicine and alternative medicine models to give you the best possible health outcomes. Prevention and anti-aging is always a key aspect in her treatment protocols.
As stated by Thomas Edison,
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease”
