Transform your health through nutrition
Up to 80% of Americans have tried a “diet” in the past, and at least 50% claim to try to eat healthy. But, what is a healthy diet? There are so many diets that are wildly different from each other, like vegan compared to carnivore. Can they all be healthy? What does eating healthy look like for you? Many people struggle to figure this out, to separate the marketing and the fads from the actual data.
But, eating right for your body is so much more than just selecting a diet fad to follow. It means finding a way of eating that fuels your body properly and in way that is sustainable for you. It means having a healthy relationship with food. It means understanding your body and your needs so you don’t get lost in the overabundance of information and opinions about diet.
A registered dietitian is your expert guide to achieve lasting health through nutrition because they have years of education on how to apply nutritional science for optimal health. A large part of this education is focused on understanding a person’s unique nutritional needs and tailoring a diet to meet these needs while taking lifestyle factors into account, including diet, family, travel, and more.
At Ideal Human we combine the science of evidence based nutrition with the art of adapting it to the individual. Working with our registered dietitian gives you the power to know you are doing it right, and the peace of mind that comes from working with an expert.
How we do it
Personalized Medicine
You are so much more than just your age and gender. Personalized medicine takes all of you into consideration to make a treatment plan, from lab markers to life events to taste preferences. Adapting your plan, even weekly, as your body and needs change is a hallmark of what we do.
Accountability
Registered dietitians are in it with you for the long haul! We are here to support you through the whole process, be it implementing a new way of eating, navigating work trips and dinners out, picky eaters, or emotional challenges.
Lab testing
Sometimes it’s nice to just take a test and see which nutrients your body is lacking. We can order single nutrients like vitamin D or magnesium, or do large nutritional panels to assess your body’s needs. We can also order and monitor lab markers that were out out of range like blood sugar, cholesterol, or thyroid so you know that the treatment plan is working.
supplements
It can be difficult to get everything your body needs from food alone. Even with a perfect diet, there is soil depletion to content with, gut issues, and circumstances out of your control. The right supplement regimen includes form, dose, and timing to help you overcome all these challenges.
