Supplements
There is no substitute for a balanced whole foods diet; however, it is difficult (and unrealistic for most - even for me!) to follow this dietary pattern ALL the time. I recommend supplements to most of my clients in order to promote optimal wellness and encourage healing. I only recommend professional line supplements that meet high standards for quality, purity and bioavailability.
In some medical conditions, such as post-bariatric surgery, supplementation of nutrients is required lifelong.
