Food as Medicine

Offers group medical visits for adults wanting to understand and treat chronic inflammation, believed to be one of the root causes of pain and mood disorders. The group meets with a physician to investigate the causes of chronic inflammation and what can be done about it.

Each individual will have blood tests to assess for underlying imbalances and nutritional deficiencies that are contributing to illness. Supplements and medication will be prescribed as indicated. Participants will learn which foods cause harm to the body and how to use food as medicine.
