Nutritional Treatment
When extra nutrients may assist a patient's recovery, Dr. Hume
will make specific recommendations. If the patient can obtain
the nutrients they need to heal through the food they eat, this is
better than supplementation and Dr. Hume will recommend particular
foods a patient may add to their diet.
However, more nutrients may be required than are available
through dietary sources and Dr. Hume will recommend supplementation
in these cases. In addition, for her patients' convenience,
she also offers high quality, cost effective supplements which are
available online. See
nutraMetrix and
Douglas Laboratories.
For those patients interested in a comprehensive nutritional evaluation, Dr. Hume offers an extensive investigation using standard blood tests.
Excess body fat causes extra wear on weight bearing joints and many other health problems and Dr. Hume also offers an effective weight management program.
