Identify Root Causes to Digestive Symptoms
There are so many dietary opinions and conflicting sources of information when it comes to the world of nutrition. My Calgary based nutrition counseling and optimization program will help you discern what’s best for you as an individual.
When you compound credible sources with those who only have a surface level understanding of nutrition, it can be near impossible to get a grasp of what you, the individual, should be consuming to support your optimal health.
Have you ever considered that the “healthy” diet you’re committing to may actually be making you sicker? Have you ever wondered why the diet that works so well for a friend isn't’ providing the same results for yourself?
Nutrition Counseling and Optimization Process
As with all of the services that I offer at my practice, we’ll start with a thorough analysis. First, we’ll go through your typical daily eating log and habits.
The questions I’ll ask include but are not limited to:
-
What are you eating?
-
How frequently are you eating your meals and snacks?
-
Are you getting an adequate amount of protein, fibre, nutrients etc.?
By asking a full panel of questions, we can begin to paint a picture of how your diet could be contributing to your symptoms, as well as if you’re under eating and under fueling.
Digestive concerns Like constipation, loose stools, bloating, heartburn etc. can be addressed after walking through this analysis and following potential recommendations like:
-
Altering eating times
-
Adding/Removing certain foods
-
Elimination diets
-
Low FODMAP diet
-
Anti-inflammatory diet
-
Individualised recipes
-
Celiac testing
-
Food sensitivity testing
-
SIBO testing
-
Stool testing
What’s the Benefit in Investing in Nutrition Counseling?
There are so many dietary opinions and conflicting
Understanding what hurts versus what helps your body is invaluable. By working with a licensed naturopathic doctor like myself, you’ll have a better understanding of how to fuel your body.
By investigating your unique needs, you can avoid bouncing from diet to diet crossing your fingers and hoping that one particular style of eating might finally solve your problems.
You won’t be alone during this process, and together, we will create a dietary framework that allows you to enjoy eating without the fear of repercussions!
