Holistic Nutrition Philosophy
Trust the innate wisdom of the body over the course
of its own evolution.
The best way to take in nutrients is how Mother Nature intended - through the foods we
eat.
Focus on Traditional Healing Foods (avoiding modern food processing) as much as possible because organic whole foods, unprocessed dairy, traditional fermented foods, and other nutrient-dense
foods are ideal ways to build nutrient reserves and support healing.
Holistic nutrition addresses
the whole person, including lifestyle, mind, body, spirit/energy, as well as how our food supply affects environment, animals,
and the foods we eat.
Approach
Multifaceted, supportive
approach helps accelerate the realization of health goals.
Knowledge of how nutrition affects health
and wellness through biochemistry helps identify specific foods and therapeutic supplements to address a wide range of imbalances.
Referrals
to local practitioners (traditional and alternative) to further aid in healing and wellness.
When the body is toxic, undernourished, physically and emotionally stressed, has impaired digestion,
is unable to detoxify adequately and is in a state of dysbiosis (imbalance of beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms, the
results are:
Digestive malabsorption and microbial imbalance
Oxidative stress
Chronic inflammation
Immune dysfunction (over or underactive)
Hormone
and neurotransmitter imbalances
Buildup of toxins
Individuality
Everyone has a unique biochemistry. People
are affected differently by toxins, diet, and stressors.
Must do detective work to help uncover which foods are not tolerated by
an individual, and well as the foods and nutrients one can most benefit from given their circumstance and health objectives.
Focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders
Extensive knowledge of biomedical approaches, sulfation,
and the dysfunctional biochemistry of ASDs.
Many years' experience researching nutrition-related autism issues
for my own daughter.
