Nutrition Q & A

What is nutrition?

Nutrition refers to the foods and beverages you consume and how they affect your body and overall health. If you want to lower your risk of illness and feel your best, it’s important you provide your body with the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs to thrive. 

Nutritional deficiencies affect your performance and well-being. By making good dietary choices, you can reduce the risk of disease and increase your longevity.  

At Sound Integrated Medical Center, the team believes that nutrition affects all of your body’s systems. They regularly work with men and women to provide nutritional counseling guidance that improves exercise performance and quality of life.

Why is nutrition important to integrative medicine?

Integrative medicine professionals, like the team at Sound Integrated Medical Center, believe that whole-body health begins with balance. Traditional Western medicine focuses on treating uncomfortable symptoms, while integrative medicine works to pinpoint and treat the underlying cause. 

One of the most common factors associated with chronic illness and injury is poor nutrition. If you’re nutrient deficient, you’re more likely to experience health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and chronic pain. Poor nutrition affects your mental health as well, increasing your risk of anxiety and depression.

The team at Sound Integrated Medical Center focuses on two specific areas to enhance your overall well-being:

Exercise performance

Exercise performance refers to treatments that boost your athletic abilities. At Sound Integrated Medical Center, the team uses wearable technology to monitor blood glucose levels and heart rate. They use this information to develop custom dietary plans that align with your body’s unique needs.

Nutritional counseling

Nutritional counseling uses healthy eating to combat common health problems such as heart disease and chronic pain. It’s also used to assist people who are overweight. Prior to developing a custom care plan, your Sound Integrated Medical Center provider conducts a physical exam and orders a series of lab tests. Based on this information, they tailor a nutritional program that boosts your metabolism and health in general. 

Am I a good candidate for nutritional counseling?

Anyone who wants to live a healthier and more active lifestyle can benefit from nutritional counseling. Even if you’re at or around your ideal weight, nutritional counseling provides an excellent way to age gracefully and lower your risk of disease.
