Nutrition For High Definition Living

Health and Wellness coaching combines the art and science of nutrition, coaching and muscle testing to assist you in achieving your health and wellness goals.  Applied Clinical Nutrition is the application of health and whole food science to create our best health.  It focuses on the prevention, adjudicative and alternative strategy for intervention in the disease process.  In this program, you will be learning the science of using natural whole foods, whole food nutritional supplements and herbs to detoxify, rebuild, and balance the whole person.  Through nutritional education and the supplementation of whole food products, we fill the nutritional gap which our bodies craves to operate at their peak performance.   Utilizing applied kinesiology, we use the body as a gage to find out how your organ systems are functioning, your toxicity levels and other factors that influence your overall energy levels. 

The standard approach to nutrition as it relates to wellness has been heavily reliant on the food pyramid.  This science promotes the idea that everyone needs these basic proportions of foods to be healthy and that our food supply has all of the necessary nutrition for our optimal health.  However this is far from the truth.  Every person has a unique biochemistry.  What works for one, may not work for another.  Also, our food supply is one of the most nutrient deficient in the world given the soil quality, irradiation, and long transports it takes to arrive at the grocery store.  This is where the application of clinical nutrition can help, by filling in these nutritional gaps. We design an intervention program incorporating diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation (eg. Vitamins, minerals, botanicals, essential fatty acids) targeted to your enhancement or recovery process.  Our lives are more stressful and fast paced than ever.  We burn through our mineral stores and other nutritional resources so quickly, we are left depleted and exhausted from a lack of high quality nutrition and imbalanced lifestyle. What if we could help support the process with one of our body’s main resources, superior nutrition? It's what I like to call the High Definition effect.

So what happens when you feed your body what it needs? It starts to function normally. Normal is relative of course, however most are far from our natural state of wellness. Something most people have long forgotten. Imagine if you could live your life in a state better than normal, one in which you feel as if you are gliding and freefalling every day. We live in a toxic world, one in which we need to be aware of the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and how we exercise. It is fundamental to be aware of these factors and apply this knowledge for our well-being to function at peak performance.  When we keep our bodies fine-tuned, it allows us to have a vehicle with which we can access much more energy and productivity in every aspect of our lives.

Our bodies have 11 main organ systems. This includes our endocrine, gastrointestinal, integumentary, nervous, muscular, skeletal, genito-urinary, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory and circulatory systems. In this practice, a practitioner can utilize applied kinesiology to see where each organ in our bodies is functioning energetically. For example, your heart can be muscle tested between 0 and 15. Our brain can also be tested between 0 and 15. All other organs are tested on a scale of 0-10. Also, metal toxicity, pesticide toxicity, bacterial load, viral load, levels of inflammation can all be tested on a scale and tested using applied kinesiology. Of course the practitioner can always run a hair analysis or blood test through a local company if the client prefers however this method provides a very accurate method to diagnose and treat the body.

In a session we start by gathering your current symptoms and goals. Then we go over your health history and family history. After inputting this data, the client lies on the treatment table and we begin testing. The client is required to remove any jewelry, cell phones or other objects which may interfere. The preliminary test is done by using a cell phone on the brain, heart and gut. This tells us if the person is testable and not switched electrically. In a normal subject the arm goes weak very easily when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. If the person is switched we activate a few points on the body to align their system for it to be evaluated. After this, the practitioner goes through every organ in the body, food intolerances and toxicity levels and records where it lies on the spectrum. Once this is completed, the practitioner chooses different food combinations and formulas to boost the weak organs and lower toxicity levels by asking the body what it needs using AK testing. Often times there is one organ system that needs fine tuning and the rest start working in harmony. With food intolerance testing, we go through the most common food intolerances including gluten, dairy, nightshades, eggs, nuts and others to see what the person is reacting to and eliminate it for 30 days from their diet. Again, all of this happens in stages and may not be implemented by the client until a later date. Generally clients have biweekly or monthly visits to monitor their progress and facilitate them toward achieving their wellness goals.

A wide range of whole food supplements, super foods, homeopathics and other tools are used to treat the person. I have found standard process and mediherb products to test the highest and get the best results. Whole food supplements are a super concentrated source of nutrition. Take for example, the product betafood. Ten tiny betafood pills are equivalent to eating 5 whole beets. It’s much easier to take the concentrated form rather than eating 5 beets. When needed, it allows you to introduce large amounts of organic high quality nutrition to your system without having to eat large quantities of food.

In this practice, we look at the whole person and find out what elements must be shifted to assist you in achieving your optimal state of health and wellness. This is the true essence of mind-body medicine. Please contact me to schedule a free 1 hour consultation.
