Goals of Medical Nutrition Therapy:

  • Body Composition Assessment plus a healthy eating plan designed especially for your lifestyle!
    How lean are you? Using high end bio-impedance technology, we assess your basal metabolic rate
    or number of calories burned in 24 hours, percentage of lean mass, fatty tissue
    plus your level of hydration.

    What is your ideal weight?

    • How many calories do you burn each day, at rest? [Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR] 

    • How many calories do you burn each day, doing what you do...?

    • Is your physique at least 75% Lean Mass? [muscle + bone]

    REMEMBER: One of the main goals of medical nutrition therapy is to build lean mass.
    Aim for at least 75% lean mass. This a doable personal goal!

     


  • Interpret Lab Results

    - Total Cholesterol, LDL (low density lipo-proteins = bad),
    - HDL (high density lipo-proteins = good}, 
    - Triglycerides,
    - Hemoglobin A1C,
    - Fasting blood sugars,
    - Blood pressures, 
    - Bio-impedance:
    pounds of lean mass, pounds of fat, levels of hydration...
     


Start by developing a menu with conscious cuisine and a therapeutic grocery list 
designed specifically for your lifestyle and blood type, to optimize lab results, manage inflammation,
blood sugars and boost metabolism.
Select cuisine that is therapeutic and has medicinal properties.

Become aware of therapeutic options to manage a variety of health conditions:

  • Low Grade Inflammation

  • Metabolic Syndrome, also known as "Syndrome X" or pre-diabetes

  • Hormonal Imbalances

  • Eating Disorders

  • Cardiovascular Diseases

  • Hypertension
