New Health Medical Center's Prescription Food Program

For those of you who are serious about your health and preventing future serious health crises, your ultimate goal should be a complete, personal prescription food plan. Since our Center for Natural Medicine evaluates and treats each patient's overall physical and mental condition, this personalized diet plan is also our goal. On one large page, the plan lists all the foods under categories such as vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, meat, poultry, fish, spices and more. Color coding quickly differentiates foods that are wholesome based on all the criteria entered into the computer program and is based on all relevant research, as well as foods that should be avoided and foods that are not consumed regularly. The program also pinpoints individual food allergens or sensitivities based on test results. In addition, data on ideal body weight, daily calories, and daily amounts of carbohydrates, protein, and fat are provided based on body measurements, including fat composition. The accompanying information allows people to use a food diary and provides guidance on shopping, cooking and eating.

The first step in developing a prescription food plan is to schedule a naturopathic medical consultation with Dr. Kitaeff. He will take a complete medical history and perform an examination. Next, he will recommend a complete blood chemistry test, including evaluation of thyroid, vitamins D and B12, blood type, and viral infection factors. Additional body chemistry testing will evaluate mineral levels, including toxic heavy metals, adrenal (stress) hormones, food allergens, and, in some patients, male or female hormone or digestive stool analysis. All data from this test will be combined with information from the medical history and examination, body type, blood type and body measurements to generate a complete personal prescription food plan from the computer.

Do you want to know how helpful these things are to your body? Then you can pick up the Biophilia Tracker X4 MAX at hand and easily know whether it is effective and your physical condition through testing.

This achieves the goal of food as medicine, the ultimate goal of a natural medicinal approach to maintaining health. Because all patient health conditions are submitted as criteria for the program, dietary recommendations are based on all available clinical research on therapeutic nutrition for these conditions. Additionally, if a person is struggling to lose weight, knowing what foods are right for their body is obviously valuable in maintaining long-term weight loss.
