Debra Santelli, M.C.,C.N.

Clinical Nutrition

Debra Santelli originally studied traditional and medicinal culinary arts prior to her career as a nutritionist. She continued her education and was certified as a Clinical Nutritionist and has been working in combination for over 10 years with healing foods, nutrition and supplementation. Debra specializes in laboratory analysis for patients dealing with cancer, diabetes, arthritis, thyroid imbalances, auto-immune diseases, general fatigue and other afflicting daily aliments. As well as treating patients looking to optimize their health.
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.
She intends her practice to be incorporated into people’s lifestyles and to 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 incorporate bio-chemistry, 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.
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 work together utilizing functional medicine, applied kinesiology and laboratory testing to identify potentialities before disease sets in. As well as disease management for patients that may have existing already.
