Diet is one of the Foundations for Health (Environment, Food, Water, Air, Sleep, Movement, and Mental Attitude.) It is a critical component to creating joy and energy in your body.

Eating well doesn't need to be as complicated as rocket science. At times today, we know it can feel that way.  The good news is we know more than ever about the crucial and significant role that vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and nutraceuticals play in creating vibrancy or disease. The bad news is all that information can be hard to assimilate and digest. We are here to help do that for you.    

What you eat is critically important because it affects how your DNA code is turned on and off; it affects the health of your intestinal lining or gut; and it affects the nutrients or toxins affecting your brain chemistry. Brain structure and function is important to us all! Whether you are a developing child laying the brain structure foundation for the rest of your life or you are a healthy young adult trying to protect your brain from the lifestyle-induced neurodegenerative disorders of our era like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and dementia, the same principles of how to create or destroy brain health hold true for us all.

At Brain and Body Solutions, this is of particular interest to us in the young, developing systems of children and in the deteriorated, weak bodies of the diseased or aged.  Changes in diet, supplementation, environment, air, and water can have incredibly profound results in these populations. I cannot underscore the importance of establishing your child’s long term neurology in their formative years. How well your child will focus and attend in his middle school years is being determined by the amount of nutrition the brain receives during the years leading up to that moment. Nutrition includes all forms: food, air, water, physical affection, supplements, and all sensory information (nature and fresh air versus tv and video games) creating that child’s neurology and chemistry.

I cannot underscore the value of eating basic, sound whole foods and proper supplementation for children and ill adults; it is a crucial part of the recovery plan. And we can help guide you through it so it is easy and fun. Overall, there are some basic principles that are true for every human body, but certain adaptations can be made based upon your unique physiology.

This is your Biochemical Individuality. What may be the right food or supplement choice for you may be a poison to another. I can help you determine the best choices for YOU from qualitative genetic tests, quantitative laboratory tests ranging from hair mineral analysis, blood, urine, or fecal tests. Maintaining a good nutritional state is crucial in building a foundation of strong health. It is even more important in removing chronic illness and disease.
