Nutritional and Diet Counseling
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. -Hippocrates
Nutrition includes dietary modification and supplementation to optimize your health. Vitamins, minerals and other nutritional factors have to be present, in the right balance, for the body’s biochemical pathways to function effectively. Dr. Esposito will help you identify nutritional and dietary factors that may be contributing to your physical and emotional complaints. If necessary, Dr. Esposito will prescribe high-quality neutraceuticals to restore nutrient deficiencies. She will also help educate you about the quality, preparation and proper digestion of food.
You"ve probably heard the adage, "You are what you eat." This is partly true, however a statement that is probably more accurate is "You are what you can digest." Due to stress, improper diet and environmental toxicity the body’s capacity to digest food can be greatly diminished, which can result in nutrient deficiencies that over time can lead to many health problems. By re-establishing proper digestive function in your gastrointestinal tract and rebalancing your digestive enzymes you can get the most out of the foods you eat.
Each individual has unique nutritional and biochemical needs. Many illnesses are a result of the body"s need for a specific nutrient or group of nutrients that is deficient. Today more than ever, obtaining nutritional knowledge can make a difference in our lives. Air, soil, and water pollution in addition to modern farming techniques, have depleted our soils of vital minerals and nutrients that used to be in our foods. This can impact health in the long term since we are not getting the proper nutrition we deserve from our food.
Many people know about the kind of food allergies that create an immediate response like hives and skin rashes. However, many people are not familiar with food sensitivities that can manifest in the form of headaches, eczema, dry skin, digestive upset, diarrhea, constipation, and fatigue. Foods sensitivities are not as severe as allergic reactions however, over time they do have an effect on overall health since they prevent absorption of nutrients. Through the use of dietary modification, cleansing and detoxification programs a problem or ailment that has been present for many years can be quickly eliminated.
