Nutritional Health

Food is information. This information not only provides the nutrients required for cellular function but also creates the internal ecology where vitality can flourish and our genetic influences can be best expressed. The quality of our food choices dictates the quality of information to our cells and consequently, the quality of our health.

This single, simple daily act of eating is the most fundamental and dynamic influence on the quality of our health and our life.

Examples are boundless of nutritional deficiencies and therapies impacting health. The use of folic acid has shown to be so valuable that it's deficiency during pregnancy can cause improper brain and spinal cord development in newborns. Chromium is now given to help regulate the body’s response to sugar and insulin. Coenzyme Q10 is used to prevent and manage congestive heart failure.

Genetic individuality plays a key role in determining the optimal nutrition for each person. “One person’s food is another person’s poison” expresses how two people can consume the same diet and experience opposite results.

At Wellspring Health we utilize several efficient, non-invasive tools to assess the nutritional health of our clients and provide direction on how to achieve optimal nutrition that meets their bio-individual needs.

The ZYTO Limbic Stress Assessment is a bio-communication tool that identifies individual stress response to a host of influential factors including nutritional status as well as food and environmental sensitivities.

Metabolic Typing identifies the individual response to the body’s pH, a fundamental indicator of internal chemistry. High acidity forces the body to borrow minerals and vitamins from vital organs and bones to buffer the acid and safely remove it from the body. High alkalinity can create problems with intestinal function, sluggishness, poor elimination and compromised respiratory function.

From the work of Doctors Wolcott and Kristal, Metabolic Typing is utilized to determine if the pH is out of balance and identifies the underlying system that dominates how an individual produces and processes energy, creating a Metabolic Type.
