Science Based Nutrition
Science Based Nutrition is a diagnostic method using 50 or more standard blood tests, urinalysis, stool analysis and hair analysis. With Science Based Nutrition we consider not just the clinical or "disease" ranges in the laboratory analysis, but also the optimal levels for good health.
Depending on what we find with the testing, we prescribe dietary
modifications and dietary supplementation to allow your body to
restore itself to optimal health.
The dietary supplements may be purchased anywhere the patient chooses; we suggest the patient choose high quality supplements. Alternatively, for the patient's convenience, we can compile the recommended items from suppliers which we have experience with, such as Douglas Laboratories, and drop ship them to their address.
How does it work?
The Science Based Nutrition program works because it is based on
testing and not guesswork. In the past, most nutrition, drug,
or supplement programs were based on how you felt and presented to
your physician rather than on your body chemistry. It works
because the program looks at all aspects of the body and not just
one isolated test.
Patients set up an appointment to see the doctor for a Science Based Nutrition consultation and physical examination. There is no obligation for a patient to proceed with the laboratory tests. However, if the patient wishes to do so, payment for the balance of the services is required in advance.
If a patient chooses to follow the recommendations, the doctor will recommend comparative blood tests at an appropriate interval to monitor the patient's progress.
