Total Nutrition and Therapeutics - Healthy Diet

With the New year comes new year resolutions. And one that tops the list every year is eating healthier. The specialists at Total Nutrition and Therapeutics in the villages explain that what you think is healthy might not be.

I think a lot of people just don't understand what the right foods are. And I think our clinic helps them and guides them to the right foods.

I've always thought that I was eating healthy. I would make choices the best I could thinking that they were healthy, like honey wheat bread, you know, and just doing certain things like whole wheat pasta, but not realizing that those things really aren't as healthy as people think. Things have changed and the wheat back then is not the same as it is now. It's very hard to digest and a lot of people have problems. So I started to experience symptoms like feeling fatigued, foggy headed, and had a hard time making decisions, weight gain, acne. And I finally decided that I needed to fix this. I wanted to feel good. So I started to learn how to eat right. And I went through the proper testing, found out what deficiencies I had, and then I started to apply those and it just turned my life around. I really think that it saved my life. And I saw that my daughter was going through the same path and she wasn't feeling good and she honestly didn't really know what feeling good was. She didn't know she felt bad, but she just didn't have the energy that a teenager would have. So as I started making those changes, my kids started watching me as well as my husband. And without telling them what to do, they learned by example.

If you're eating the wrong foods, your levels are going to be out of whack, out of range. And the thing is, Lori likes to do like a baseline in the beginning. And a lot of patients, they need that visual to see those numbers. And once they see those numbers and realize, oh my gosh, I definitely need to change. And then after retesting, after eating the proper foods and, and following a plan, we retest them. And when those numbers come down, the patients are amazed, you know, just because they changed what they ate.
