Personalized, targeted supplementation based on science with nutraceuticals
Our providers at the Connecticut Center for Integrative Medicine serve those in and around the Stamford, Connecticut, area with a wide selection of treatment options to consider for improving overall health and wellness. Many patients are unaware that their eating habits are impacting their overall nutrition, which has medical implications. With our team, we can talk to patients about the many benefits of integrating nutraceutical supplements into their diet to improve their overall health and quality of life.
What are nutraceutical supplements?
In the modern world, an unhealthy fascination with dieting exists among several individuals. Not only do these restricted eating regimes fail to bring any lasting or sustainable results, but they can also foster unhealthy eating behaviors. Moreover, they don’t provide a viable lifestyle option. As an alternative, our naturopathic and holistic doctors may advise patients to give nutraceutical supplements a try. These enriching supplements provide you with all the necessary vitamins and minerals you need to feel your best every day. You have the flexibility to consume these supplements either in the form of a pill or through IV, based on what is most comfortable for you. These supplements are custom-designed to cater to your specific needs.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for nutraceuticals?
During your initial evaluation with our team, we will evaluate you thoroughly and discuss how to support your body in the best possible way. We conduct certain analysis and diagnostic testing, including genetic and microbiome testing, to understand your overall genetic makeup and personal health needs. We may even take blood samples to check hormone levels and your current position regarding the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function at its best. Then, we see how your nutritional habits impact these. We can also talk to you about your diet and nutrition to help you improve your natural diet and, therefore, improve the way you feel! This may require the addition of nutraceuticals to help boost you where imbalances may lie.
Who should I speak with to better understand advanced nutraceutical therapies?
Our providers are skilled and experienced in providing patients with the care and attention they need to achieve their personal goals. If you live in or around Stamford, Connecticut, and want to work with holistic and naturopathic doctors, we invite you to call our office at (866) 320-6402 to request an initial consultation visit with our team. We are open to new patients looking to feel their best daily with holistic and integrative medicine!
Dr. Robert Kachko discusses about nutraceuticals at CT Center For Integrative Medicine
What are nutraceuticals?
Hi, this is Dr. Robert Kachko. I’m here to talk to you about nutraceuticals that we use in our practice.
Nutraceuticals might be a funny-sounding word, but basically, it’s high doses of nutrients or botanical medicines applied in precise and targeted ways for each condition.
Almost every patient who comes in, in addition to the comprehensive care we provide that includes acupuncture, IV therapy, mind-body medicine techniques, and comprehensive functional lab testing, usually gets a recommendation for nutraceuticals.
Why would an individual need nutraceuticals?
The nutraceutical that we use are of the highest quality and are specific to your needs, often prescribed either based on your health history or the testing done.
As one example, we do many nutrient testing in our office, and many of our patients are deficient in vitamin D.
Vitamin D is very important for a host of conditions, including the prevention of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s.
So, when we have your particular vitamin D levels, we can prescribe a well-absorbed nutraceutical to get your vitamin D levels up.
Is getting nutraceuticals safe?
There are dozens of other nutraceuticals that we may consider for each patient, and they’re always prescribed with precision and personalized care.
The nutraceuticals that we use are also proven to be effective and safe, and for this reason, they are only available through doctor’s offices.
