Nutritional Counseling

Food can impact the body profoundly. Diet includes numerous factors: quality of food; quantity of food; the balance of macro-nutrients (i.e., fats, proteins, carbohydrates); the balance of micro-nutrients (e.g., selenium, calcium, zinc); food sensitivities; food allergies or mounting reactions to foods; and weight goals. Dietary recommendations are based on genetic predisposition, current state of health, and a patient’s health goals. In addition, Dr. Brody does not just suggest a dietary change, but teaches patients how make any changes (such as shopping, menu ideas, brand suggestions, etc.).

Dr. Brody can help address nutritional and health deficiencies. Even mild micro-nutritional deficiencies can create subtle symptoms of disease. Nutritional deficiencies rob the body of its own natural resources and can manifest as symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and insomnia. Many times, these symptoms are taken for granted as natural when they could be addressed through lifestyle or dietary changes. If left unaddressed, nutritional deficiencies can ultimately contribute to chronic diseases such as arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, or arthritis.
