Nutrition Specialist

What is nutrition?

The food you eat provides your body with the energy and nutrients it needs to perform at its best and maintain good health. Nutrition refers to the healthy foods you need to eat to support these goals.

Unlike a diet, nutrition doesn’t focus on your weight, but the quality of the food you eat that supplies your body with all the good nutrients it needs to maintain muscle mass, support healthy bones, keep your mind sharp, and protect you from chronic illness.

How do I need to eat to stay fit?

Your specialist at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center can help you determine the types of foods you need to eat to stay fit. To assess your nutritional status, your specialist conducts a comprehensive examination, including a physical exam, review of your medical history, and usual food intake.

Your specialist may also test for nutritional deficiencies to determine if there are certain nutrients on which you should focus.

While everyone’s nutrition plan is different, your plan should include a variety of foods from all the food groups, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy sources of protein, fats and oils, and dairy foods.

In addition to your diet, your specialist at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center may also provide you with a fitness program based on your athletic abilities and skills to help improve your health and wellness.

How can nutrition help me lose weight?

When you take the focus off the number on the scale and instead concentrate on eating foods that nourish your body, the weight comes off naturally. Filling your diet with nutrient-rich foods helps keep your hunger away and kills cravings.

If you’re struggling to lose weight, the specialists at Low Testosterone & Weight Loss Center offer a weight loss program that can help you get to a healthier weight. In addition to a nutrition and fitness plan, the weight loss program also includes prescription weight-loss medication and fat-burning injections, if needed.

Good nutrition is the foundation of health and wellness. Whether your goal is to lose weight, have more energy, or protect yourself from developing a chronic disease, what you eat is important.
