Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional counseling is an assessment that analyzes various health needs using two factors primarily: diet and exercise. A nutritional counselor helps people to set achievable health goals while teaching various methods of turning these goals into permanent life changes. Nutrition is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Without proper nutrition, energy levels and health declines, weakening the immune system--the body's primary defense against illness and disease. Nutritional counseling can also be used to treat eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

Supplements to Keep a Healthy Spine

Herbal, Dietary, and Vitamin Supplements

Those that take supplements do so for the various, disputed, health benefits. While some may be beneficial to alleviating back and neck pain, there remains a great deal of uncertainty about the benefits and other effects of various supplements. Some people experience great results, while others feel nothing. The safety of these supplements varies just as greatly as each individual's experienced benefits: some are extremely safe while others should be used with caution. It is important to educate yourself and know the difference between herbal, dietary and vitamin supplements to enhance health benefits.

Adrenal Exhaustion

Sitting atop the kidneys, adrenal glands secrete 3 very important hormones: cortisol, adrenaline, and  dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). These hormones aid in providing a buffer against stress and enable us to adjust smoothly to life's demands by determining the stress response. When under stress, healthy adrenal glands increase their output of cortisol and DHEA to preserve health.  In more intense circumstances, they secrete adrenaline to deliver the necessary boost of energy. When signals are sent repeatedly to release one (or more) of these hormones, the adrenals become "exhausted," incapable of keeping up with the demand. DHEA levels begin to fall, signifying adrenal exhaustion.

What are probiotics? - Providence Integrative Wellness' website defines probiotics as live microorganisms, also known as “friendly bacteria,” that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the human gut. They are vital for a healthy immune system, protect against disease-causing microorganisms, and aid in both digestion and absorption of food and nutrients.
