Nutrition Made Personal
How can Nutritional Counseling help you? Eating right isn’t about strict diets or complicated rules—it’s about healing, feeling well, and giving your body exactly what it needs. At GWCIM, our nutritional counseling services will help you understand your body, boost your energy, and create a nutrition plan that fits YOUR unique lifestyle and addresses your medical conditions.
Is it about food or more?
Nutrition is not only what is in your shopping bag and on the plate. The benefit of working with an Integrative Nutritionist is that the guidance is individualized to support changes in every foundational aspect of life – diet, sleep, movement, stress management, and relationships. Practicing healthy eating behaviors takes time and commitment and is enhanced with the support of family and friends, who are invited to participate in nutrition counseling sessions.
Breaking the Mold: Your Unique Wellness Blueprint
Our team uses Integrative and Functional Medicine assessments to understand what your body needs. First, we gather comprehensive information about your health – family history, genomic, metabolic, endocrine, food sensitivities, environmental testing, organ systems performance, and mental concerns. By understanding these foundational elements, we can develop a targeted approach. Together, we analyze, overview your daily habits, connect the dots, and understand your nutritional needs as a part of a complex dynamic picture of your health. We’ll dig deep to create a nutrition strategy that’s as individual as you are, helping you feel more confident, energized, and in control of your health.
Which conditions require Nutritional Counseling?
In a nutshell, Nutrition is an essential part of the Integrative medicine and Functional medicine approach.
Nutritional counseling provides universal health benefits by addressing how diet influences bodily function and healing. Metabolic, autoimmune, and lifestyle-related disorders show the most remarkable improvements through targeted nutritional interventions. Conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease benefit significantly, as nutrition directly impacts cellular health and inflammatory responses. Essentially, food becomes a powerful therapeutic tool that can modulate disease progression and support the body’s healing mechanisms, as it has always been in the Traditional medical systems.
At GWCIM, Nutritional Counseling is an integrated part of the ReCODE program, designed by Dr. Bredesen to reverse or slow down cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
