New Health Medical Center's Prescription Food Program

For those of you who take your health seriously and preventing future serious health crises, a complete, individual prescription food plan should be your ultimate goal. Since our Center for Natural Medicine evaluates and treats each patient's overall physical and mental condition, this individualized meal plan is also our goal. On one large page, the program lists all foods under the categories Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts and Seeds, Meat, Poultry, Fish, Spices, and more. Color coding quickly differentiates wholesome foods based on all criteria entered into the computer program and based on all relevant research, as well as foods to avoid and foods that are not eaten often. Based on the test results, the program also pinpoints individual food allergens or sensitivities. Additionally, ideal body weight, daily calories, and daily amounts of carbohydrates, protein, and fat are provided based on body measurements, including fat composition. Accompanying information allows people to use a food diary and provides shopping, cooking and eating guidelines.

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

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 you can easily know whether it is effective and know your physical status through the test.

This achieves the goal of using food as medicine, that is, the ultimate goal of maintaining health with natural medicine methods. As the health conditions of all patients are submitted as standard to the program, dietary recommendations are based on all available clinical research on therapeutic nutrition for these conditions. Also, if one is struggling to lose weight, knowing what foods are right for one's body is clearly valuable in maintaining long-term weight loss.
