Digestion and Our Health
Digestion is the foundation of our health. Poor digestion is not only uncomfortable; it also lowers your immunity and sets the stage for the development of many health problems further down the line. Optimizing your digestion puts you on track for superior immune function and overall health resiliency. Western medicine typically treats digestive discomforts or diseases with medications that impact the symptoms but leave the underlying problem intact. Nutritional protocols can support the body’s natural healing processes so that these symptoms disappear on their own or are greatly reduced. In addition, not only will your digestion improve but your overall health, energy level and ability to enjoy life will also expand as you put yourself in control of your health and healing.
Many common digestive disorders that can be helped with nutrition are:
- Indigestion
- Gas/ bloating
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Colitis
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)/ Acid reflux/ Heartburn
- Crohn’s disease
Reversing Digestive Discomforts and Digestive Disorders with Nutrition
Fortunately, nutritional intervention and treatment can reverse digestive disorders and put you back in control of your health. Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea and heartburn are not merely medical issues; they are sensations that diminish your enjoyment of your life. When you are uncomfortable and can’t fit into your pants or need to constantly be vigilant over the location of the nearest restroom, you aren’t living your best possible life. This does not have to be the case.
I will work with you to use nutrition and mind-body approaches to enable you to restore your digestive wellness. Restoring the body’s natural healthy balance is a process. Over a series of sessions we will address your eating habits, nutrition concepts, lifestyle and mind-set issues. At the end of the process you will have regained control over your digestion and ultimately reclaim your vitality and wellness. This will give you the chance to allow your health to support you in reaching your true goals and endeavors in life, rather than living your life to support your health.
