Whole food nutrition is the basis of any health program aimed at truly healing and maintaining wellbeing. 

 

Let’s get real though…the bottom line is we aren’t just “what we eat”. 

 

We are what we can break down, assimilate and eliminate.  There are many factors that play into how the body digests and utilizes nutrients from the foods we consume.  For instance, if you are dealing with elevated cortisol levels (stress hormones), your body will signal to your gut to slow down because its highest priority in that moment is "fight or flee". 

​

When exposed to chronic stress, your body won’t produce adequate digestive enzymes and your gut motility will slow, both contributing to symptoms such as acid indigestion, bloating and constipation or diarrhea.   

 

And while we can’t “out-supplement” a good, healthy diet, we can certainly speed up the healing process by incorporating quality medicinal herbs, vitamins and minerals. 

​

Wellness by Design goes by the motto “less is more” when it comes to supplementation, especially when we are taking good quality products to target identified areas of imbalance. 

 

A nutritional consultation includes an individualized nutrition program, complete with supplementation recommendations to address specific health concerns.
