What you absorb through proper digestion also has the potential to impact your health. Unhealthy digestion = unhealthy body. More than 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates stated, “All disease begins in the gut.” Your gut health can impact your immune system, inflammation, your brain function among many other bodily systems. You also can support balancing your hormones, including sex hormones, thyroid and adrenal, through diet and nutrition.

There’s no one-size-fits-all dietary plan. You may have tried a variety of diets, supplements and potentially even cleanses. And the many diets today can be confusing – gluten-free, Paleo, AIP, Atkins, Vegetarian, South Beach, Raw Food, Mediterranean, and so on. The reality is any of these diets can be hard to maintain. And they may not even work with your individual biochemistry/genetic make-up. In fact, over time our bodies change and thus our diet needs to change too. For example, some diets may not be the best if you have histamine issues, while other diets that incorporate lots of coconut products may cause reactionary issues. Our goal is to help you foster a positive view of and relationship with food.

Tree of Life offers naturopathic and natural health consulting. Naturopaths are not licensed medical doctors, and therefore do not diagnose or treat disease. Rather, we support the body nutritionally, so that the body comes in to balance on its own. Our consultations and therapies may be used as a complement to traditional medical care.
