Nutrition Q&A

What is nutrition?

Nutrition is a term that encompasses the needs of your body when it comes to what you eat. While most of the nutrients you consume come from food and beverages, you can also get them by taking herbal supplements and botanicals.

Whole Wellness Counseling invites you to the office for personalized nutritional coaching in relation to your personal health and wellness needs. Many people don’t realize they’re deficient in specific nutrients because they don’t get enough of them in their diets, so they experience symptoms as a result.

The team teaches you about macronutrients like protein, carbs, and fat, as well as the micronutrients your body relies on for all of its functions. These include vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

What are the benefits of great nutrition?

Excellent, balanced nutrition can benefit your health and well-being in ways you might not expect. Nutritional counseling is a great choice for preventive care, in conjunction with treatment for an eating disorder, or alongside medical treatment for nutrition-related illnesses such as diabetes.
