Nutraceuticals
(Additive Nutrition)
About Nutraceuticals:
Nutraceuticals are simply food being used as medicine. Just as pharmaceuticals are medicines that come from a pharmacy, nutraceuticals are medicines that come from nutrition. While this may sound similar to supplements, and supplements are a big part of nutraceutical medicine, the grander emphasis here is on diet and nutrition.
Nutraceutical medicine is for everyone. It is no secret that our food today is very different from the food of yesteryear. With modern nutrition's multitudinous choices (good and bad), we must put more effort into finding quality sources of nutrition and work harder than our grandparents did to ensure that we are giving our bodies and minds the building blocks they need to perform at their best.

How it Works
​
​During your appointment, your provider will discuss your dietary habits, food choices, and supplements that you are using. From here, you will discuss changes you can make to integrate healthier, more beneficial options that will get you feeling better!
What to Expect
Nutraceutical medicine is a powerful tool that helps improve overall physical and mental health. However, like other forms of medicine, it will take time to notice the full benefits. Some changes may be seen quickly, such as the change in inflammation from reducing the amount of ultra-processed food or the amount of soda you drink. Another example is increased energy and clear thinking from eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. Long-term benefits such as weight management or changes in psychiatric symptoms may take longer to see, but a healthier you is worth the effort!​
