Nutritional medicine encompasses specific nutritional recommendations to prevent disease, address the underlying cause of disease, heal the gastrointestinal tract, and improve nutrient intake to support healing. It also includes the use of nutraceutical supplements if dietary changes are not sufficient to allow for optimal health. Similar to the other treatments I offer, nutritional medicine is highly individualized and depends on a patient’s specific concerns, goals, socioeconomic status, and allergies or intolerances. The tools I use to ascertain a patient’s nutritional treatment plan include a diet diary and symptom tracker, micronutrient lab testing, food sensitivity testing and microbiome testing.
