Nutrition Q&A
What is the role of nutrition in Integrative Medicine?
In Integrative Medicine, nutrition is a foundational pillar. We view food as powerful medicine, capable of influencing every bodily system. By optimizing nutrition, we can address the root causes of disease, reduce inflammation, support detoxification, balance hormones, and promote overall healing and vitality, working in synergy with other therapeutic approaches.
How is your nutrition guidance different from a standard dietitian?
Our nutrition guidance is distinct because it is deeply integrated with Dr. Isalguez’s Precision & Integrative Medicine approach. We go beyond general dietary advice, utilizing advanced functional lab testing like food intolerance and gut health analysis to uncover hidden imbalances specific to your biochemistry. This allows us to provide truly personalized and targeted nutritional strategies that address the root causes of your health concerns, rather than just symptom management.
What is food intolerance testing?
Food intolerance testing identifies foods that may cause delayed, non-allergic reactions in your body, leading to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, skin issues, headaches, or joint pain. Unlike immediate allergic reactions, intolerances can be subtle and cumulative, making testing a valuable tool in uncovering your unique dietary triggers.
How do I initiate a referral request?Why is gut health analysis important?
The gut is often called the “second brain” and plays a critical role in immune function, hormone balance, nutrient absorption, and even mood. Our gut health analysis investigates the balance of microbes, digestive efficiency, and markers of inflammation to identify dysbiosis or other issues that could be contributing to systemic health problems. Optimizing gut health is key to overall well-being.
Can your nutrition services help with weight loss?
Yes, our physician-assisted weight management program takes an integrative approach to weight loss. We understand that weight challenges often have underlying metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory, or gut-related root causes. Dr. Isalguez and our team will identify these factors through comprehensive testing and create a personalized, sustainable plan that addresses your unique biochemistry for effective and lasting weight management.
