Confused about which vitamins and supplements are best for you?

Do you take vitamins, nutrients, or other supplements? Are you overwhelmed by the amount of different choices there are? Not sure what the best kinds to take are, or whether or not it is the right nutrient for your condition?

You are not alone. Every time I go to the health food store, I see people confused in the vitamin isle. Often, these people ask the staff in the store for help, and while they may be very knowledgeable about the different nutrients and herbs, they do not consider your personal health, medical and family history, medications, diet, and lifestyle when selling you a product.

As a naturopathic physician, I have 4 years of medical school training specifically teaching me how to sort through all of the different options, how to use vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and herbs for specific medical conditions, and how these supplements interact with medications you may be taking. I use my knowledge, your medical history, and lab work to determine what vitamins, nutrients, or supplements will help you. I always combine these with diet and lifestyle changes because health is not found in a pill. It is the combination of removing the harmful things that are causing ill health (ie. infections, toxins, stress, or poor foods) and providing the body with the health promoting things that it needs to heal itself and function optimally. Using this approach, everyone will have a unique protocol.

If you are tired of trying various supplements and are not getting the relief you are looking for, please let me help you. You do not need to try to figure out your health problems on your own; I have already spent several years study medicine so you do not have to and I have devoted myself to helping others overcome their most nagging health challenges.
