Nutritional Counselling

NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLING

At Lococo Wellness Clinic we believe in a customized approach to our patient’s dietary and nutritional needs. Each person comes with a unique set of biochemistry and to achieve optimal wellness it requires the time and energy spent discovering and understanding that unique biochemistry for each patient.  Nutrition is becoming more and more important in today’s environment as we are up against industrial and technological changes to the food supply which alters the ability to utilize the food to maintain proper functioning of the body.

HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT DIET AND NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES ARE BEST FOR ME?

This starts with an initial consultation with one of our Naturopathic Doctors.  During this initial consultation the ND will review your health history and decide what necessary tests should be performed based on the data presented.

One of the tests that are usually performed include the IgG Food Sensitivity Test.  Food sensitivities can cause inflammation in the body and the inflammation will block the ability of the body to absorb nutrients and can manifest many diseases and symptoms in the body such as hives, eczema, psoriasis, acne, migraines, fibromyalgia, anxiety, fatigue, depression, panic attacks, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, gallstones, crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, IBS, constipation, indigestion, heartburn (GERD), and weight gain.

Another piece of information we utilize is blood work. Examining recent up to date blood work will help us identify how all the organ systems are operating and your ability to absorb certain vitamins and minerals.
