You Are What You Eat

Since your body rebuilds itself, eat well for the holidays. Go easy on the sugars and junk food. Remember, you body has to make new heart cells and a whole new body from what you eat. Make sure you have a sufficient quantity of high quality protein. 

You are more than what you eat. You are what you digest and metabolize. In order to rebuild your body it is vital that your body be able to use the food you eat to repair and regenerate itself. If you feel bloated and full during holiday meals, you may need digestive enzymes or specific digestive support. 

There are natural ways to help improve the ability of your body digest and metabolize the foods that you eat. Instead of avoiding certain foods, or relying on unnatural solutions to digestive issues, help your body heal itself naturally by providing the right nutritional support. 

Not sure about what diet or digestive nutrition is right for you?  If you are Novi, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, Livonia or in the surrounding Detroit area contact Dr. Sherry Yale, DC at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, MI at (734) 664 - 0339 for a no charge consultation to determine what foods might be hurting you, what foods might be best for you, and what digestive support you might need.

Enjoy the Holiday season with friends and family!

Live Food

Your health is your greatest asset. Helping your body digest and metabolize the food that you eat can improve your health, energy and vitality. There is a difference between live food and cooked food and the impact that these foods have on your health, 

Cooked processed, and fast foods contain no live enzymes. The enzymes that allow food to be digested are destroyed with heat. Live food has the enzymes that allow us to digest. We need to eat a diet that contains live food every day. It is true that what you eat determines how your feel!  The only side effect to live food and water is better health and less stress.

People with poor digestive systems cannot digest live food. Lack of the specific digestive enzymes needed for proper digestion is the most common underlying health issue people have.

The body is unable to get the essential nutrients it needs from undigested food. This creates nutritional deficiencies, which lead to unwanted health issues. Every body is different, and has different needs. The secret to health lies in identifying the specific digestive enzymes that you need that work for you.

Poor digestion also leads to food allergies, food intolerances, parasites and fungal overgrowth. A malfunction of the digestive system creates a compromise of the immune system, and increases stress. Eighty percent of the immune system is in the gut. The immune system becomes compromised when you cannot properly digest.

The key to better digestion lies in identifying the specific nutritional deficiencies that you have as a result of your food and lifestyle habits. Through specific testing, there is a way to help identify the specific digestive enzymes you need, find your missing nutrients and your specific food and water requirements. As you feel better and health improves, exercise and movement become easier, stress reduction occurs and life is more enjoyable again.

Digestive Issues

Digestive issues do more than cause discomfort; they can easily interfere with the way in which the body absorbs and utilizes nutrients.  When the digestive system isn’t functioning properly, it can amount to some serious health problems. To complicate matters, the underlying cause of certain digestive issues can be difficult to identify and easy to overlook through conventional means. As a result, determining an effective treatment is difficult.

Here at TLC Holistic Wellness, we have helped many patients get to the bottom of their digestive issues and determine an effective and safe treatment.  We offer complete testing on your body’s current nutrition needs, screening for specific digestive disorders, detoxification and dietary programs, along with a complete array of diagnostics and treatments that address your discomfort and health concern.
