Since I have changed my diet and gotten away from processed foods, I have noticed a steady energy level throughout the day and my recovery rate is far beyond what it used to be.  With 30 hours of training a week and 40 hours of work, it is vital I put the correct foods in my “engine” that allow me to complete my workouts with focus, and also allow it to recover for the next day.

The Individual: We’re all unique.  Comprehensive analysis is generally overlooked in clinical practice.  It is imperative to identify imbalances and/or issues related to digestion & metabolism thoroughly with data provided by the client.

Specific: Fad diet companies geared at selling their programs have tried to incorporate a ‘personalized dietary approach’ in marketing agendas.  The only accurate “personalized-approach” is to use diagnostic measures, such as: Respiration to figure out resting expenditure, blood testing to understand underlying micronutrient deficiencies (e.g., Vitamin D), stool testing for yeast imbalance and gut-transit issues, and salivary tests for hormones and their metabolic influences (e.g., cortisol and digestion).

Nutrition: The famous quote–“One man’s food is another man’s poison”–is why I study and research nutrient-interactions within our bodies. Nutrition is the foundation to optimal health.
