At The Nutrition Therapy CenterSM, nutritional treatment is based on a detailed assessment of a person's medical and dietary history and used as a compliment to your medical treatment to treat an illness or condition.  It is also used as a means to prevent or delay disease or complications from diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.  For those not presenting an illness, nutritional therapy is used to assist in the maintenance of body composition appropriate for the individual exercise goals whether it is for weight loss, muscle gain or supporting performance.

Services include:

Comprehensive In-Depth Nutrient/Diet Analysis Assessment
Address your specific goals by utilizing the most powerful, research quality nutrient database that analyzes your diet for deficiencies or excesses for over 160 nutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients). In addition, create and manage your food intake by addressing the proper source and ratio of calories and get expert guidance on a therapeutic prescribed diet whether it be in treatment for cancer, vegetarian, low cholesterol, low sodium, low fat, diabetic, renal, weight-reduction, body-building, sports fitness, etc.

Multi-Frequency, Segmental Body Composition Analysis
It is well established that body weight alone is not a good indicator of good health as it does not distinguish between the weight that is distributed as body fat or the weight that is distributed as lean muscle.  We know that carrying too much as body fat greatly increases our risk for heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer – especially abdominal fat.  Body composition analysis is the best tool to use as an indicator of overall health and an important clinical tool for monitoring weight loss associated with conditions such as cancer, etc. or those active individuals on exercise/weight training programs. The latest eight electrode, multi-frequency, segmental body composition analyzer is used for accurate and reliable results.

Metabolic Rate/Resting Energy Assessment
Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body burns calories. Knowing metabolic rate is vital for weight management monitoring, weight loss associated with diseases and for those on exercise regimens. Assessing the success of individual weight loss or weight (muscle) gain strategies can be accomplished by re-testing metabolic rate over the course of a program. But, how much does an individual need to cut back to actually lose weight or add to gain muscle? Indirect Calorimetry is used to measure your metabolic rate, typically found in hospitals and research centers, to determine exactly how many calories one needs to adjust for either weight (fat) loss or weight (muscle) gain

Nutritional Genetic Testing
Nutritional genetic testing is also available utilizing sophisticated testing technologies that are designed to accurately assess gene variations and ultimately provide information that can help guide nutritional regimens. The ultimate goal of nutritional genetic testing is to develop personalized nutrition programs for health and wellness based upon your unique genetic makeup.  The Nutritional Genetic Assessment test looks for DNA variations (SNP’s) in 12 key genes that are very important in your body’s overall health - specifically your genetic propensity for oxidative stress, detoxification, cardiovascular health, immune health, neurological health, pulmonary health, vision health and bone health.
