Personalized Nutrition at VCIM
What we eat plays an important role in our overall health.
There is no ‘best’ diet for every person. Our team will work with you to create a personalized diet tailored to your goals and specific health needs.
Our approach to nutrition. ❤️
The food we eat literally shapes our bodies. Nutrients are the building blocks of our cells, and eating a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals helps us build healthier bodies. As always, we aim to educate our patients on how their food impacts their overall health and support them as they make these changes.
We use nutrition as a foundational building block to recovery and staying well.
The general foundation of a healthy diet revolves around an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean-style eating plan, but there is no one perfect diet for everyone. Our physiology and metabolism are unique. Your specific choices around being vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous are up to you. Our role is to optimize your nutrition to allow your body and mind to be in the best health.
We’re here to help you navigate your nutrition, personalized to you and your needs.
We may use nutrition as a medical treatment during a specific treatment. Depending on your situation, there may be a reason for:
Low-carb eating
Keto variations
SCD
Low Fodmaps
Modified fasting, Intermittent fasting, carb cycling
Juice fasting
Water fasting
Low oxalate, low arginine, low histamine
Or other specialised diets
How It Works:
New Patients
If you are beginning a new patient process with us, then nutrition will be addressed as part of your care plan. You will receive our Foundations of Health, Anti-Inflammatory Diet, and Body Reset guidebook. We’ll also provide you with the education and guidance you need to adopt a healthy, balanced anti-inflammatory diet, complete with a menu and recipes, and many tips and tricks to make it easier.
Ongoing Nutritional Support
If you would like or need more hands-on support, our nutritionist, Jolene Casella, RHN, can guide you weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. She can create specific menu plans and recipes for more specific nutrition plans and needs. These personalized plans can include guided shopping trips, cooking classes, and cupboard clean-ups.
The 5-Week Body Reset Program
We run a 5-week group Body Reset Program, where you take a deep dive into nutrition, its impacts on your health, and get full guided support to do a 3-week cleanse using anti-inflammatory eating!
Previous participants reported improved energy, pain, weight, water retention, headaches, brain fog, skin conditions, blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, general inflammation, and more.
