Nutrition

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food." These words were uttered long ago by Hippocrates and we at North Country Holistic adhere to this philosophy whenever possible.

The majority of the chronic illness in our country is a direct result of the toxic and nutrient poor diet we consume.  Our food supply is contaminated by pesticides and other toxins; we consume man- made chemicals, "non-food", that our bodies do not recognize and which wreaks havoc on the exquisite mechanism of our genes and metabolism. 

Our other health scourges such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke and autoimmune diseases can also be traced to and improved by nutrition.

At NCHC our approach to each patient may involve the following:

• Presenting complaint
• Obtaining a dietary history
• Evaluation involving laboratory testing for vitamin levels and evidence of generic impairment of the metabolism of certain nutrients

Based on the information generated, NCHC will offer specific recommendations for improvement.
