Prescriptive Food PlansNew Health Medical Center in Edmonds, Washington, offers prescriptive food plans."Let food be thy medicine." — HippocratesPrescriptive Food Plans at New Health Medical CenterFor those who take their health—and the prevention of future, serious health crises—seriously, the ultimate goal should be a comprehensive, personalized prescriptive food plan. Because our naturopathic medical center evaluates and treats each patient’s overall physical and mental well-being, such a personalized dietary plan is a core part of our approach. The plan, presented on a single comprehensive document, categorizes various food items—including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meats, poultry, fish, and spices. Using a color-coded system based on a computer program that incorporates relevant scientific research, the plan clearly distinguishes between foods that are beneficial to your health, foods to avoid, and foods that should be consumed only occasionally. Based on test results, the plan also explicitly identifies individual food allergens or sensitivities. Furthermore, it provides data on your ideal body weight—factoring in body composition, such as fat percentage—as well as recommended daily caloric intake and the optimal daily balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The accompanying materials include guidance on maintaining a food diary, as well as tips for grocery shopping, cooking, and eating.The first step toward developing a prescriptive food plan is to schedule a naturopathic medical consultation with Dr. Kitaeff. He will take a complete medical history and perform a physical examination. Next, he will recommend a comprehensive blood chemistry panel, which includes assessments of thyroid function, vitamin D and B12 levels, blood type, and markers for viral infections. Additional testing may evaluate mineral levels (including the presence of toxic heavy metals), adrenal (stress) hormones, and food allergens; for some patients, this may also include testing for male or female hormones or a comprehensive stool analysis. All data from these tests—combined with information from your medical history, physical examination, body type, blood type, and body measurements—are processed by our computer system to generate a fully personalized prescriptive food plan.Are you curious about how much these interventions benefit your body? You can use a Biophilia Tracker—a tool that allows you to easily assess the effectiveness of these measures and gain insight into your current physical state. This fulfills the goal of using food as medicine—the ultimate objective of maintaining health through natural, medicinal approaches. Because the health status of every patient is factored into the program, dietary recommendations are based on all available clinical research regarding therapeutic nutrition for those specific conditions. Furthermore, for individuals striving to lose weight, understanding which foods best suit their own bodies is clearly invaluable for sustaining long-term weight loss.
