Clinical nutrition involves the use of supplemental vitamins, minerals and diet therapy in the treatment of health conditions. Naturopathic physicians receive a minimum of 110 hours in Clinical Nutrition alone, with additional nutritional therapies included in the remaining 2800 hours of classroom and clinical studies over a 4 year course of training. The average medical school curriculum includes 10 to 20 hours of specific training in Clinical Nutrition.

In our practice we emphasize the importance, not only of good nutrition, but the role that foods, particularly the WRONG ones, play in health and disease. The proper identification of food allergens and sensitivities is basic in finding a diet that allows the body to thrive. Lab testing for food allergies is a documented method of identifying these foods and with the help of a trained doctor, a trial of elimination often identifies the cause of chronic health problems.
