You are what you eat?
You are what you digest…
For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has recognized that all health issues originate in your gut. If the digestive system isn’t functioning properly, your body cannon receive the nutrients it needs, and eventually your entire system will be affected.
For that reason, getting to the root of the problem is is crucial and involves a a systematic process.
These days, there are many factors that can cause the digestive system to go out of balance. On any given day, we are all ingesting toxins in one form or another.
Here are a few examples:
- Environmental toxins – air and water pollution; demineralized soil conditions
- Food -pesticides, food additives, GMOs
- Drugs – prescription drugs (including antibiotics); over-the-counter medicines
- Stress – physical and emotional
Over time, toxic buildup can cause conditions like Leaky Gut Syndrome, Parasites, deficient stomach acid and allergies.
It might seem like a bleak situation but there is hope. We just need to get to the root of the problem.
So, where to begin?
In addition to the fundamental diagnostics I use in Chinese medicine, I also incorporate blood chemistry labs:
Blood tests
Stool tests
Hormone tests
Allergy tests
Hair Analysis
Once I have determined what the underlying issues are, I will then map out a nutritional protocol for you.
For example, I may prescribe an Adrenal Reset program or a SIBO diet, depending on what the diagnostics reveal.
Not All Supplements Are Created Equal
There are many supplements on the market today but quality varies from one line to another. For that reason, it is important to work with someone who can determine exactly what you need and direct you to sources that have the highest standards.
The products I use are high in nutrients and have been tested by a 3rd party for purity and content.
If I don’t carry the supplement you need, I am happy to give you a list of the brands I know are of the highest quality.
