Nutritional Consultations:
Session includes filling out and returning a symptom survey form and a toxicity questionnaire prior to your session. In it will be instructions to take a temperature reading for thyroid and a diet history to fill out. Upon receipt of the returned questionnaire, I will review to determine where your major challenge lies (cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive, sugar handling, liver and biliary, etc.) and schedule an appointment.
During the appointment, I will do a nutritional assessment using old-fashioned manual techniques used to determine health challenges of digestion, sugar handling, and nutritional deficiencies; specifically whether your body has enough hydrochloric acid and/or enzymes to digest your foods, zinc, iodine or calcium deficiencies, palpation of the gall bladder, the small and large intestine, the inguinal ligaments and the pancreas for tenderness or conjestion, a few simple blood pressure calculations, and a check of the vertebrae.
At that point, I will make some recommendations for you. Most people with health challenges will find it necessasry to make some dietary changes, and supplementations can give a boost. I am currently ordering from two companies (Standard Process and Innate Response, two reputable companies that use whole food supplementation rather than "vitamins" that have been synthetically manufactured). They sell to health practitioners only, and I am offering them through the next year at cost plus shipping so I can judge their effectiveness for those who are interested.
Supplementation is not a requirement, and an emphasis will be on dietary changes. I do not believe that health can be obtained from a pill, pharmaceutical or not, but that in some cases, a boost is helpful, especially in our modern age of low nutritional and highly processed foods. The digestive and eliminative organs not only digest food but emotions as well, and these too need to be addressed in any program that is going to bring about better health.
