Who can benefit from nutritional therapy?

Many conditions respond favorably to nutritional interventions and, in general, every one can benefit from nutritional therapy as a wellness strategy. Most of us can use some fine tuning with regards to diet.  For example, your path to wellness begins with ensuring that digestion is working properly and that you are getting the most from your food.  Working on blood sugar regulation via dietary changes can help prevent insulin resistance and Type ll Diabetes.  Ingesting the right healthy fats will help to control inflammation in the body, and ensuring that the right co-factors are present allows us to utilize the calcium in our diets.  Being properly hydrated and balanced in our electrolyte status is key to transporting nutrients throughout the body and preventing many chronic conditions such as constipation and joint or back pain. 
 
Here are some of the many possible examples of who could benefit from nutritional therapy:

• Couples contemplating starting a family or those with fertility issues,
