lowering inflammation and functional nutrition in Waterloo IA

To do this we focus on two areas of nutrition, lowering inflammation and functional nutrition. Find out why these areas of nutrition are so important to your health in the paragraphs below as well as on the pages they are linked.

Lowering Inflammation: One of the most common causes of pain is inflammation. And inflammation is also one of the most common precursors to the disease process. Additionally, inflammation delays later stages of healing.

Reducing inflammation therefore is key to recovery of health and freedom of pain. It is also the foundation for prevention. That's why we teach a low inflammation lifestyle. This lifestyle consists diet, supplements, sleeping habits, calorie restriction and icing.

Functional Nutrition: Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? We can help! Using functional methods with nutrition allows us to address many chronic concerns including fibromyalgia, thyroid concerns, high cholesterol, blood sugar/insulin troubles and hormone imbalances via lifestyle choices. Working with your prescribing doctors we can often reduce or eliminate your need for medications on the way to you feeling your best.
