Diet, Nutrition, and Supplementation

Why Diet and Nutrition is Important

In our day to day lives in Tulsa, we simply may not have time to focus on what we put in our bodies. Let’s face it, it can be difficult to eat healthy as most of us make our meal decisions based on convenience. We tend to choose foods that are quick and easy. That means more processing, more undesirable ingredients, and what is less than ideal nutrition. This can add up over the years causing all sorts of health issues. An industrialized diet has been linked to about every disease process out there as highlighted by the joint Cornell-Oxford effort dubbed the China Study.

• Allergies
• Inflammation
• Auto-immune Issues
• Weight Gain
• Cardiovascular Disease
• Fibromyalgia
• Muscle & Joint Pain
• Many Cancers
• Premature Aging
• Dementias such as Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s

As part of our strategy to improve your overall wellness, our doctor will evaluate your diet and may make suggestions if there is a need for improvement. Most of us tend to eat foods that promote inflammation, and that has a lot to do with lack of anti-oxidants, the wrong kinds of fats, additives, and contaminants. It is almost impossible to only eat things that are healthy, but health is a balance. Therefore, we can offer some very simple strategies to help you achieve better nutrition. This advise is integrated into care when the doctor explores your history as part of your overall evaluation and care at our clinic.

Injectable Nutrition is Better

Injectables are the best way to get you the nutrition you body needs. Injectable Nutrition can improve your immune system, help you recover from injury or illness, detoxify & combat inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, improve energy, help with weight loss, improve your skin, and even reduce cellular aging. Oral supplementation is good, but can present problems for those who have a hard time digesting nutrients or just wanting higher levels of nutrients. Unlike oral supplementation, injectables boast 100% bioavailability meaning that you absorb every drop of nutrition we give you.

Intramuscular (IM) Injections $25 Each

Intramuscular Glutathione

While not technically a vitamin, glutathione is the single most powerful natural antioxidant in the body. These injections help with oxidative stress and have anti-aging properties. For this reason, glutathione has been called the fountain of youth molecule. However, these shots can burn a little, and so not as much can be delivered in this form. Alternatively, the shot can be given IV if buffered with sterile water in a small push injection.

Vitamic C

Given in the right place, smaller amounts of C can be delivered into the body without too much sting. Vitamin C is important not only for the immune system, but for healthy skin, and it’s antioxidant properties as well.

B Complex

A variety of B vitamins that are involved in energy metabolism. Furthermore, these vitamins can assist in weight loss and give you that pep in your step.

Vit B12

Vitamin B12 is Important for cardiovascular health and for function of nerve cells. It is involved in the immune system and in energy production.

Vit D3

Technically a hormone, this fat-soluble vitamin is arguably the most important vitamin in immune health and viral defense. Can help to mitigate some of the symptoms of seasonal allergies. It has also been known to help with allergies. Referred to as the sunshine vitamin, It is involved in calcium and phosphorus regulation and has a significant effect on other hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, dopamine, and parathyroid hormone. It’s effects on mood and over all wellness can be even more impressive than the B-vitamins. It can even assist with weight loss.

Supplements

In addition to dietary changes, it may be beneficial to supplement your diet with specific vitamins and nutrients. Some are prescribed for general health while others target inflammation or pain or muscle spasm. Supplements may be introduced to increase nutrition you may be lacking and help you heal.  Some products target a specific health condition or preventative measure. Sometimes digestion in general can be a big issue and products are recommended to improve gut flora.
