Clinical nutrition aims to improve health by assessing a person’s nutritional needs to determine an optimal nutrition program. Case histories, laboratory tests, and nutrition/lifestyle analysis are used to assess a patient’s needs, and patients are educated on how to improve their diet and life style accordingly.
Dr. Nirvana can accurately determine what vitamins and minerals and lacking in her patients through a simple blood test and consult. This will then allow a thorough recommendation of other therapies (such as diet, lifestyle and supplementation) to improve your overall well-being.
A body can function (not thrive) with nutrients at sub-optimal levels for many months, or even years, before a clinical symptom may become apparent. Medical literature is filled with thousands of reports showing that many degenerative diseases can be prevented by having adequate levels of certain nutrients in the body, especially vitamins, minerals or fatty acids.
Vitamins are essential in maintaining your body’s health. Your body requires that certain vitamins and minerals be present to maintain critical systems including your organs, skin, bone, and muscle. Vitamins also provide assistance in using chemical energy obtained from food to help process carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
