Nutrition and Your Health
"Patients have changed drastically, even over the last few decades. They are less active and tend to follow a diet of overconsumption and under-nutrition. This creates the metabolic dysfunction of Insulin Resistance, Systemic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress that leads to our epidemic of: Obesity, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer and Diabetes. One out of every two Americans now has or is developing Insulin Resistance, which helps create this metabolic syndrome. This also puts your patients at risk for Chronic Myofascial Pain Disorders. Furthermore, the EPA's National Human Adipose Tissue Survey (NHATS) now finds the five most toxic chemicals in 100% of the human tissue sampled. These are toxic chemicals that are known to promote metabolic dysfunction and are putting your patients at risk for chronic pain and degenerative diseases."
