Clinical Nutrition
Food is information to the body. What we put in our body has a tremendous influence on our mood, energy, digestive system, immune system and long term health. Diet remains the cornerstone of any treatment program. Dr. Arjomand takes the time to review each patient's diet dairy and eating patterns, and will discuss changes which would optimize overall health and well being. Individualized dietary guidelines are often recommended to help you achieve your health goals.
Diet recommendations are made on an individual basis, focusing on foods that may be harmful or beneficial for each individual.
Nutritional supplements are prescribed where they can provide an added therapeutic benefit, or alleviate a deficiency. These benefits may include increased energy, improved immunity, decreased inflammation, and improved gastrointestinal function. In some cases intra-muscular injections of vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are given for increased bioavalability and therapeutic effects.

Food Sensitivities and Testing
Food sensitivities have been linked to a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:
IgG food sensitivity test may be recommended to determine problematic foods. Elimination diets are commonly recommended where speculated allergenic foods are eliminated from the diet for a period of 4-5 weeks in order to give the digestive system a break from the offending food and further to determine which foods may be causing distress to the body. During the elimination period, specific nutrients and supplements may be prescribed to decrease inflammation and promote healing the gut. Following the elimination period, foods are introduced on an individual basis and monitored for reactions from the body.
Dr. Arjomand can also test for Gluten allergies (Celiac Disease) when indicated. Please call the clinic for more information or to book an appointment.
