Diet & Nutrition
Did you ever notice how there isn't one diet or lifestyle book that works for everyone? This is because we all have differences in our body chemistry. Therefore, to think we could eat the same foods and take the same supplements and all feel great doesn't make sense.

At Muskego Health and Wellness Center, we do not use a cookie cutter approach to health (ie treating symptoms with supplements according to a book.) Upon a thorough evaluation, the underlying cause(s) of the symptoms are determined. Because how we feel on the outside is a reflection of how we're doing on the inside, there can many times be biochemical imbalances or food sensitivities present. Commonly, we are unaware of these underlying problems because blood tests are normal, or we're not having to be rushed to the hospital with difficulty breathing and hives. Most internal problems are pretty far along before they're picked up on a blood test.
Our bodies can also have many different reactions to common foods. These would include fatigue, weight trouble, digestive problems, sleep problems, chronic pain, hormone imbalances and headaches to name a few. Unfortunately, there can be a 2-3 day delayed reaction to the foods we eat. This makes it more difficult to pinpoint the problem by simply trying to eliminate the suspected food or foods. To take the guess work out of the process, there are various methods available for testing food sensitivities. The method we use is called clinical kinesiology (muscle testing). This method is nonspecific, which means no matter what reaction your body is having to a particular food, it will show up. The accuracy is the same as a blood test. We also use this method to determine if there are any nutrient deficiencies and which chemical form of the nutrient is needed.
By findng and treating the cause of the problem, many people have been able to enjoy more health and vitality than they've had in years.
