As you answer the 392 questions of my nutritional symptomatology questionnaire you may be reminded of many small health problems that, over a period of years, you have learned to live with -- you may have felt that they were too insignificant to mention to your doctor. However, by pinpointing the source of these hidden warning signs, and correcting them, you can begin to discover, build and maintain true wellness. 

Your body is unique -- nutritional requirements vary from person to person, and over time --so your body requires very specific nutrients in order to function efficiently. Many people do not realize that their nutritional needs change as they age, and depend on other variable factors such as stress and environment. If any of the required nutrients are deficient, it shows -- often in subtle ways. Perhaps you feel a bit more tired than usual, or you have unexplainable aches and pains, or your thinking seems confused. Medical tests may reveal nothing abnormal, and your doctor may be unable to offer any plausible explanation.

But you continue to feel that something is wrong -- perhaps you have nausea or dizziness, or you seem to catch colds more easily than you used to, or your bowel movements are painful or you may wonder why your hair is so dull or your skin is so dry. Any of these symptoms may be a sign of nutritional imbalances.

The foundation of your better health should be your diet -- the best diet for you. For some people, that may be all they need. But it varies, depending on other factors. For example, if you drink a lot of coffee, even though your diet may be good, you are more likely to need specific nutritional supplements because the caffeine inhibits your absorption of iron, etc. Or, if your diet is high in animal products, you may be losing too much calcium. 

If you smoke or are around cigarette smoke you may need more of certain other vitamins. Also, many prescription drugs can interfere with the way your body absorbs nutrients and you may need supplementation in those areas.

In fact, most people these days do need some form of supplementation, if for no other reason than the fact that it's harder to get the nutrients we need from our food than in the past. Agricultural soils have become nutrient poor. Foods are picked unripe in vast quantities and shipped to ripen artificially, devoid of many of the nutrients that only develop during field ripening. Also, the advent of fast food eating has depleted our bodies' nutritional health. However, it should be noted that supplements are just that -- they are intended to supplement healthy food. Good food contains essential nutrients that are not available from supplements alone. 

Because of these variables, it is considered wise to analyze your own specific nutritional requirements on a regular basis.  Even though you may be eating the same diet as someone else, you may be utilizing those dietary nutrients in an entirely different way from another person. And there are many other health concerns which can make a nutritional difference, too.

Nutritional imbalances, if left uncorrected, may cause or contribute to many types of problems -- such as thyroid, fatigue, weight control, etc.  For example, although thyroid problems can occur at any age, the thyroid gland typically weakens as we grow older, and many experts feel its degeneration is at least partly due to nutritional deficiencies.

And successful long term weight control can be made very difficult, if not impossible, by nutritional imbalances in areas such as thyroid, adrenals, digestive, etc.  

Vitamin, mineral, enzyme imbalances and other nutritional deficiencies accumulate in our bodies over a long period of time -- often the result of many years of nutritional abuse such as eating too many refined foods, fats, sugars, etc. and consuming too few fresh foods and too little fiber.

We are each biochemically unique and therefore our needs for specific nutrients vary greatly.  Also, as we age, body chemistry changes require that  we change our approach to nutrition so determining how to restore and/or maintain nutritional balance and thyroid health, etc. is a very individual problem. 

Diet should be the prime focus of any changes you make -- however, a diet that might have kept you nutritionally healthy five years ago may not be as effective today. That is why nutritional analysis, such as a good symptomatology test provides, is an important first step in determining the current status of your body's nutritional health and beginning a customized program to correct your unique nutritional deficiencies.

As well, there are vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements and concentrated superfoods that can help you regain your nutritional strength -- if that is required. But they must be the right foods and supplements for you -- the ones that your body needs. 

Please note that I do not sell vitamins or nutritional supplements. I recommend foods and supplements that are generally available at your local stores.

Take the first step now, and begin by learning which nutritional imbalances are your most pressing.
