Your Nutritional Health!Nutrition is a huge topic to cover, but at San Juan Chiropractic we look at the whole person when we are treating patients. We want to take into consideration all of the factors that may play a part in your healing process. With that in mind, we NEED to consider your Nutrition. What are you fueling your body with? Are you hydrated? Have you had a foundation to allow your body to function properly and heal as it naturally can? With these questions in mind, we may have to peel back the layers and put together a game plan to help you through your current situation and then build a foundation to help your body to operate at its best. As this site develops, we will be creating pages to focus on your personal Health concerns: How do we decide the type of nutritional support we need ?There are several methods in the Alternative Medicine realm to assess your overall health. Here at San Juan Chiropractic we are excited to now be able to offer Nutritional Response Testing. Please learn more about it by clicking here. Another method of analysis which is offered locally is from Jacqueline Huff who does Iridology.Here at San Juan Chiropractic, our Nutritional analysis and coaching is derived from training received through Dr. Freddie Ulan and Ulan Nutritional System, Inc. The following information on Designed Clinical Nutrition is from Dr. Ulan. What is Designed Clinical Nutrition?It is defined as:Designed: Especially prepared for you, based on a specific.Clinical: Pertaining to the results achieved in clinical use on a multitude of patients over many years. Nutrition: Real food, as designed by Nature, to enable the body to repair itself and become healthier. After you receive your Nutritional Response Testing analysis, you will get a specifically designed nutrition program, based off the information your body provides. Most programs include dietary suggestions (as well as whole food supplements) to aid your body in healing itself. Concentrated whole food supplements are used. These have been prepared by a unique process that preserves all of the active enzymes and vital components. How do I know which supplements are right for me?After we identify the underlying reason your body is creating symptoms, we can isolate and verify the precise whole food supplements (and quantities) your body needs to resole its problems. Our goal is to have you take as few supplements as possible, with your body being fully addressed and restored at the same time.What are "whole foods"?"Whole food" is defined as "food that has undergone very little processing and has been grown or produced without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers".A good example is carrots. Carrots are rich in vitamin A complex. A "complex" is something made up of different parts which work together. Synthetic vitamins do not contain the whole complex (as found in Nature). If testing indicated a vitamin A deficiency, we would look for a whole food high in vitamin A complex (and carrots would be a likely source). A supplement rich in this complex would then be included in your program. We pride ourselves on only using the highest quality whole food supplements available. Whole food supplements are entirely derived from specific whole foods, organically grown and prepared in such a way that preserves their vital enzymes and vitamins; making them the optimum vitamin-mineral products. Now in incredibly concentrated form, your body can get complete nutrition from this small tablet! By restoring the nutrition on which your body was founded, it is possible to enable your body to heal itself...just as Nature intended. I thought I ate well....Although deficiencies may be due to illness, it is likely that other factors may be contributing to the problem also, som of which may be contained in the food you eat every day.A few factors typical of the "food commercially available in all grocery stores and restaurants: Microwaving Food Coloring Flash Freezing Genetic Engineering Synthetic additives Preservatives Hormones and antibodies (found in meat, chicken, etc.) Produce grown in soil that has been robbed of its nutrients Harmful chemicals and metals (such as pcb's and mercury in some fish) If any of these are involved in the creation or processing of your food, then what you are eating is really just "disguised" as food. Not only does this "food" have insufficient nutritional value, it may also contain toxins which work against your body and your health. In contrast, whole foods that have not been altered or contaminated contain genuine replacement parts as part of Nature's design. Can't I just eat better?There has been a drastic decline in the quality of food over the past 70 years, resulting in a nation of sick people who are dependent on pharmaceutical drugs. Your body's function is founded on nourishment from the environment (which until recently did not include heavy metals, toxic chemicals and pesticides).Current food conditions make it next to impossible to get all of the nutritional components your body requires to heal and/or maintain resiliency. How long will it take for me to start feeling healthy again?Each case is handled on an individual basis. The majority of patients who adhere to their programs have reported noticing positive changes in the first 4 to 6 weeks (some longer, and some sooner). Your improvement is directly proportional to the adherence to your program.When its priority problem is handled with correct nutrients, your next test may reveal another major Do I have to stay on a Designed Clinical Nutrition regimen forever?Through the course of your program additional layers will show up. For example, if you have a long term health problem, you may find that your body may (or may not) want to address this first. Your body will dictate its priority each time you are tested.When its priority problem is handle with correct nutrients, your next test may reveal another mayor issue (which may have been long hidden and unhandled). As this happens, we will adjust your program. Our goal is to have you on as few supplement as possible. Good dietary habits will always be encouraged. If you continue poor habits, this will perpetuate ill health and inhibit your body's natural ability to heal itself. As you feel better and your health improves, you will likely find yourself wanting to maintain a well balanced and healthy diet as your normal routine. How do I get a Designed Clinical Nutrition program?As a Nutrition Response Testing patient, you will receive an individualized program based on the results of your analysis. The program will match the exact needs of your body through diet and nutritional supplementation.The elements in your personal Designed Clinical Nutrition program are nutrients that your body is not currently receiving and/or assimilating.
