Diet and Nutritional Counseling
Dietary changes are vital as it can help stimulate the body's own innate healing ability. The saying "food as your medicine" is true. However, sometimes diet alone is not enough to stimulate healing, as the illness is so deep rooted that additional therapies such as intravenous therapy, intramuscular vitamin injections, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbs and supplements may be helpful. In addition, lifestyle changes may be suggested such as stress reduction techniques, inner (emotional) work, and physical exercise.
Furthermore, vital to overall health is a healthy digestive system as it is responsible for the absorption of nutrients and removal of waste from the body. If the body is unable to absorb nutrients or eliminate waste, even the most nutritious foods and best supplements will not be fully utilized. Proper nutrition includes identifying foods that may cause irritation to the digestive tract. Simple blood tests may be helpful in determining food sensitivities or allergies depending on your individual circumstances.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement (BHRT)
Bio-identical hormones are gaining momentum in the world of hormonal therapy. They are derived from natural sources such as
soybean, yam, or other plants. Bio-identical hormones tend to be identical to human hormones. Bio-identical hormones may provide women with symptomatic relief of
common menopausal symptoms. As part of a comprehensive assessment, Dr. Shyrose Karim offers testing which include urine, saliva or blood test to individualize your program.
