What is Clinically Designed Nutrition?
Clinically Designed Nutrition is defined as:
Clinical: Pertaining to the results gotten in clinical use on a multitude of patients over many years.
Designed: Especially prepared for you, based on a specific plan.
Nutrition: Real food, as designed by God, to enable the body to repair itself and become healthier.
After you receive your Initial Evaluation and Consultation, you will receive a specifically designed nutrition program, based off the information your body provides.
Most programs include dietary suggestions (as well as whole food supplements) to aid your body in healing itself. Concentrated whole food supplements are used. These have been prepared by a unique process that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components.
How do I know which supplements are right for me?
After we identify the underlying cause(s) that might be contributing to non-optimal health, we can isolate and verify the precise whole food supplements (and quantities) your body needs to resolve its problems. Our goal is to have you take as few supplements as possible.
What are "whole foods"?
"Whole food" is defined as "food that has undergone very little processing and has been grown or produced without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers."
A good example is carrots. Carrots are rich in vitamin A complex. A "complex" is something made up of different parts which work together. Synthetic vitamins do not contain the whole complex (as found in nature).
If testing indicated a Vitamin A deficiency, we would look for a whole food high in vitamin A complex (and carrots would be a likely source). A supplement rich in this complex would then be included in your program. We pride ourselves on only using the highest quality whole food supplements available.
Whole food supplements are entirely derived from specific whole foods, organically grown and prepared in such a way that preserves their vital enzymes and vitamins; making them the optimum vitamin-mineral products your body needs.
Now, in incredibly concentrated form, your body can get complete nutrition from this small tablet or capsule! By restoring the nutrition on which your body was founded, it is possible to enable your body to heal itself ... just as God intended.
I thought I ate well ...
Although deficiencies may be due to illness, it is likely that other factors may be contributing to the problem also, some of which may be contained in the food you eat every day.
- A few factors typical of the "food" commercially available in all grocery stores and restaurants:
- Microwaving
- Food coloring
- Flash freezing
- Hormones and antibiotics (found in meat, chicken, etc.)
- Genetic engineering
- Synthetic additives
- Preservatives
- Produce grown in soil that has been robbed of its nutrients
- Harmful chemicals and metals (such as pcb's and mercury in some fish)
If any of these are involved in the creation or processing of your food, then what you are eating is really just "disguised" as food. Not only does this "food" have insufficient nutritional value, it may also contain toxins which work against your body and your health. In contrast, whole foods that have not been altered or contaminated contain genuine replacement parts as part of God's design.
Can't I just eat better?
There has been a drastic decline in the quality of food over the past 70 years, resulting in a nation of sick people, many who are dependent on pharmaceutical drugs. Your body's function is founded on nourishment from the environment (which until recently did not include heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and pesticides).
Current food conditions make it next to impossible to get all of the nutritional components your body requires to heal and/or maintain resiliency.
How long will it take for me to start feeling healthy again?
Each case is handled on an individual basis. The majority of patients who adhere to their programs have reported noticing positive changes in the first 4 to 6 weeks (some longer, and some sooner). Your improvement is directly proportional to the adherence to your program.
Do I have to stay on a Clinically Designed Nutrition regimen forever?
Through the course of your program, additional layers may show up. For example, if you have a long-term health problem, you may find that your body may (or may not) want to address this specific health problem first. Your body will dictate its priority each time you are tested.
When its initial priority problem is handled with correct nutrients, your next office visit may reveal another major issue (which may have been long hidden and unhandled). As this happens, we will adjust your program. Our goal is to have you on as few supplements as possible.
Good dietary habits will always be encouraged. If you continue poor habits, this will perpetuate ill health and inhibit your body's natural ability to heal itself.
As you feel better and your health improves, you will likely find yourself wanting to maintain a well-balanced and healthy diet as your normal routine.
How do I get a Clinically Designed Nutrition program?
As a Nutrition Response Testing® client, you will receive an individualized program based on the results of your analysis. The program will match the exact needs of your body through diet and nutritional supplementation.
The elements in your personal Clinically Designed Nutrition program are nutrients that your body is not currently receiving and/or assimilating. These are the nutrients that you are simply not getting or not assimilating in your current diet.
