Our team will not just create a plan that respects your favorite foods and personal preferences, but we will teach you the essential building blocks you need to know to maintain excellent health.
What Does Personalized Nutrition Mean?
Most have heard the phrases “garbage in, garbage out,” or “you are what you eat,” and yes, both are true. Your health is only as good as the nutrients you give it, and our team of dietary experts understand that eating the right foods can be just as effective, and in the right cases more effective, than the medicine you take. We will focus on your unique dietary needs to ensure you receive the right mix of nutrients to support your body’s hormonal balance, energy levels, and metabolic health.
Why a Personalized Approach to Nutrition is Important
A personalized approach is important because the variety of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients that must be kept in balance so you can achieve optimal health is high, and those needs can change dramatically if you are managing a chronic condition like diabetes. Because of this, your diet must be customized. And it’s important, because a lot can be achieved with a great, balanced diet. For instance, weight becomes manageable, blood sugar levels can be held in check, your thyroid function can improve — in other words, your metabolism becomes more efficient, and your health will be much better overall.
How Can a Personalized Nutrition Plan Help?
A nutrition plan from Endocrinology Associates is driven by data and the latest research surrounding nutrition and dietary health. Dr. Christofides has spent a lifetime conducting research and serving patients, and under her guidance we will give you the best recommendations that you, and only you, need. For instance, if you have diabetes, you may benefit from extra omega-3 fatty acids from fish or flaxseed oil; it improves blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity, and can reduce your risk of heart disease. Precise, tailored care is great because it is the best way to help manage your symptoms, reduce dependency on medications, and optimize your energy levels.
