25 Nov Foundational Nutrition in the Modern Era
by: Elena Klimenko, MD
What is the best way to eat? In modern times with the wealth of information (and misinformation) on the internet, who knows anymore! It can be very confusing to navigate the best practices of foundational nutrition or to even understand its basics.
Review of the Standard American Diet
It’s no mistake that the Standard American Diet spells out SAD. The diet of the average American is indeed sad because it contains a lot of highly processed foods and inadequate fruit and vegetable intake. While there is no such thing as a perfect diet, there are always adjustments we can help you make to be healthier.
Macronutrients vs Micronutrients
Macronutrients are the components that make up the calories in our diet: fats, proteins and carbohydrates. During the webinar, we will review these “macros” and sort out the basic information that can be useful when switching from packaged, processed foods to whole foods. The presentation will also cover healthy and unhealthy sources of macronutrients and how to determine the right ratios to incorporate into your diet.
Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals that need to be consumed in much smaller amounts, that’s why they are called “micro.” Although we need them in smaller amounts, it’s still important to make sure you get enough of these essential micronutrients through your diet. In the webinar, we will review the types of micronutrients and why a diet featuring diverse fruits and veggies benefits your health.
Over-the-Counter Medication Nutrient Depletions
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are easily accessible and commonly used—but that doesn’t mean they are completely safe. Most OTC medications deplete vital nutrients, which can lead to harmful nutrient deficiencies. We will share with you a list of the most common OTC medications along with the nutrients they deplete. If you decide to work with our practice, we can help you test for and restore your nutrient levels.
Foundational Supplements
High-quality supplements can help to round out nutritional needs that are not met by our diets. We will also go over the four core supplements we often provide our patients for foundational nutrition support.
