NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING

When you have a deep-seated health challenge such as a chronic pain condition, autoimmune dysfunction, or systemic disease, you may need to make changes on multiple levels. In addition to chiropractic care, you may need a functional medicine plan that includes nutritional counseling and dietary changes. Dr. Laura Jendra can provide all of these strategies in a customized package to help you get well and stay healthy for life.

Nutrition's Place in Functional Medicine

Your body can maintain its countless complex functions only when it has adequate amounts of the right nutrients. These nutrients include both macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and amino acids).

Unfortunately, getting that balance just right can prove difficult. Many popular processed foods offer too little in the way of actual nutrition and too much fat, sugar, and salt. These imbalances can contribute to chronic inflammation, obesity, bone, and joint problems, poor disease resistance, and other health issues.

Functional medicine takes diet and nutrition into account as part of a larger picture. Dr. Jendra looks at all the factors that influence your current state of health, from dietary and lifestyle choices to emotional and physical stress. Upon evaluation, we may find that you need nutritional counseling among other functional medicine services to help you correct your nutrient balance and maintain a healthy weight.

Personalized Holistic Programs

Dr. Laura Jendra will provide a wellness or disease management plan to suit your specific needs. She will pinpoint specific deficiencies in your diet and make recommendations for changing your eating or supplementation habits.

In addition to nutritional counseling, your functional medicine plan may include a variety of complementary therapies to enhance your well-being. You may benefit from daily exercises, massage therapy, or other supportive care to help you get optimal results.
