Clinical Nutrition

Balanced health and nutrition is a key element in disease prevention and healthy aging. Clinical nutrition covers several aspects of health including blood chemistry analysis, diet, stress management and imparting a sense of responsibility and knowledge for lifestyle choices and their effects upon an individual’s well-being.
Clinical nutrition centers around blood chemistry and laboratory analysis to screen and identify imbalances in body metabolism. These learned skills required to analyze blood chemistry provide patients with sound recommendations, an ability to screen for health issues and a quantitative monitor for changes in treatment.
Conventional medicine is generally concerned with the diagnosis of disease and rarely preventative medicine. At the Wellness Center, Dr. Delson and Debra Santelli practice functional medicine and use laboratory testing to identify potentialities before disease sets in. As well as integrated disease management for patients that may have conditions already existing.
All first time patients will have an initial in-depth intake appointment, a full blood panel analyzed and a individualized protocol put together based on the findings. The goal is a maintenance plan with clearance of initial concerns. Patients are then placed on a general check-up schedule and monitored for optimal health and disease prevention.
The centers nutritionist, Debra Santelli, provides this step-by-step protocol, education and guidance to a healthier lifestyle. She intends her practices to be incorporated with ease and eventually become second nature. She works to move people away from quick fix diet fads and random supplementation. These practices which do not address lifestyle changes and clinical diagnosis, ultimately fail in the end.
Whether treating a current disease or preventing one and optimizing your health through transitional meal plans, supplementation, blood chemistry analysis and laboratory testing, clinical nutrition stands to benefit everyone.
