Nutritional Counseling in Gaffney
Evaluation, Counseling, & Supplementation
Research has shown that there are five factors that contribute to overall health and wellness: eating right, exercise, reducing stress, eliminating toxins, and maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system. At Ehlich Family Health and Wellness, our approach is to help you address each of those areas!
The Importance of Nutrition
Eating right is about eating the right foods and eliminating the wrong foods for you. For many people, the nutritional value of our foods is not sufficient, and supplements are necessary to make up the deficit—but how do you know which supplements you need, and which are the highest quality?
It’s a scientific fact that proper nutrition can lower the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and even some cancers. The foods you eat directly affect obesity and high cholesterol, which can lead to various health conditions.
Our Approach
Dr. Kim and Dr. Craig are Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioners, with extensive advanced education, training and experience in nutrition. They’ll start with a consultation to understand your current health situation and goals. Next, they will evaluate your current nutritional needs and counsel you on what you need to do in terms of food and supplementation to achieve the optimal results.
This evaluation includes in-depth lab work that isn’t included in the typical blood work your primary care provider does. It includes much more specific testing to identify a wide range of deficiencies that can contribute to your health conditions, including hair analysis to assess mineral levels and possible toxic exposures. We use your lab results to customize nutrition recommendations specifically for your body’s cellular needs, so your plan is tailored to you.
Finally, your doctor will make individualized and scientifically sound diet and supplement recommendations designed to correct your issues.
