What is Nutrioptima?

Nutrioptima is about the science of how to gain the optimum amount of nutrition from the foods that you eat based on diagnostic blood profiling. It is the science behind the biochemistry of how your body utilizes food in order to metabolize it for many uses.

About Diagnostic Blood Profiling

In order to generate a unique plan for an individual, the Healthy & Active Program uses the results of a combination of diagnostics; blood test, medical history, and your current health needs and goals. Combined, the results will reveal patterns that indicate what your nutritional needs are. These revealed patterns unlock the mysteries of your body – they can indicate the functioning of your organs, internal systems, thyroid and hormone functioning, and more. 

Revisiting the application of this research and philosophy regarding blood chemistry screening and diagnostic tools is necessary ine as it is an essential part of enabling such restorative and curative naturopathic applications such as metabolic typing for vitality and weight management.

Historically, alternative medicine did not involve the use of testing blood chemistry, as it was a part of allopathic medicine that required a medical degree. Purist practitioners considered it to be contrary to the diagnostic traditions of holism. However, the qualification of the naturopathic doctor to administer conventional blood work tests, plus additional tests has greatly increased added to ease of practice. I can imagine that those new to the profession could hardly fathom practicing without access to these tests today.

Blood Chemistry Profiles in Holism

An obvious conclusion is that blood chemistry is now essential to a naturopathic doctor’s practice. It provides accurate insights into the working of a patient’s metabolism as well any organ dysfunctions that could be resolved with the use of any of our core modalities.  It is important to get back to the basics and make use of the fundamental theoretical, and practical study of blood chemistry and what it can reveal about nutrition, hormones and other health factors that may be impacting the health of any patient. Furthermore, it is important that interpretations of blood chemistry be taught in a standardized manner that is inclusive of the study of this as a healing art in the last century.
