Nutritional Supplements
My patients ask me all the time for recommendations on nutritional supplements. Largely due to soil depletion and storage, the foods we eat do not contain the same nutrient value as nature intended. Foods are often picked before ripening therefore they do not get the chance to develop the phytonutrients so essential to our diets. It is for this reason that I take supplements on a daily basis.
I do not feel it is possible to accurately recommend supplements to an individual without having a proper background on their unique history. I recognize that everyone will want to get involved with supplements at a different level, so I have come up with a system to fill the needs of the vast majority of people at the level the want to get involved.
Program I. Pre-designed supplement packages.
Program II. Individualized needs based supplementation.
Program III. Advanced Individualized needs based supplementation.
Program I involves the use of pre-designed supplements to cater to specific goals. For example: Cardiovascular support. This is a grouping of supplements put together to give nutritional support for an individual concerned with improving their cardiovascular health. It takes into consideration their medical and dietary history, but it does not utilize a laboratory test to optimize supplement dosages.
Program II gets more specialized in that we use laboratory tests to determine which nutrients are in need of supplementation. In this case a urine sample is sent to a medical lab where tests are performed to determine the functional need for various nutrients. A medical history of the individual as well as a list of medications being taken are put together in the individuals profile and a customized supplementation program is developed. While the initial cost of this may by a little higher due to the testing, it becomes less expensive in the long term because you are only taking the supplements you need, and not using the “shot gun” approach and taking everything whether you need it or not. This program makes the most sense to me and it is what I recommend to my patients most often. I also use this program for myself and my family.
Program III is identical to program II with the addition of a blood test to help determine your bodies need for supplementation. While this method of testing is more accurate, I find it is not necessary for most individuals. Persons with multiple medical complications may benefit from this advanced program. I cannot provide this service online.
