Nutrition Assessment

Nutritional Assessment

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO DEVELOP HEALTHY HABITS. AT BOURGET MEDICAL AESTHETICS AND WELLNESS, WE’LL WORK WITH YOU ONE-ON-ONE TO DEVELOP A NUTRITION PLAN THAT BEST SUITS YOUR NEEDS.

“You are what you eat”

“You are what you eat” is a long-used saying, but medically, it remains more relevant than ever. With so many people caught in the whirlwind of careers, families and other obligations that keep them seemingly forever on-the-go, finding time to eat healthy food can be tough.

At some point, most of us have skipped a healthy home-cooked meal and instead opted for more convenient fast-food or take-out just to feed our bodies as fast as possible. Many people also consume unhealthy processed foods instead of the healthier option of whole foods with proper nutrients needed to stay healthy.

People of all ages can suffer from a lack of nutrients. That’s why  Bourget Medical Aesthetics and Wellness offers nutrition assessments to help our patients make sure their diets are providing them with the nutrients they need to stay healthy and lead active and fulfilling lives. To learn more about our nutrition programs, or to make an appointment with Dr. Bourget at our Dana Point, California, offices, contact us today.

If your diet has been unhealthy for an extended period of time, you are at a far greater risk of facing serious health issues as you get older.

Poor Diet can lead to:

Diet is key to good health. Some physical symptoms that might indicate that diet is deficient:

  • Chronic fatigue which leaves you constantly feeling like you should get more rest.
  • Constipation.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Blood sugar levels that rise and fall.
  • Aches and pains that emerge from no apparent cause.
  • A weak immune system.
  • Irritability.
  • Depression.
  • Mood swings.
  • Obesity.
  • Dizziness.
  • Frequent headaches.
  • Heartburn.

Individually Customized Nutritional Plan

 

At Bourget Medical Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer various tests that give us crucial information on your nutritional needs. These tests let us know if your diet may be negatively impacting your overall health – and what treatments are available to correct problems caused by poor diet and nutrition.

Testing can determine whether fatty deposits are an issue and whether you are receiving enough Vitamin B12, calcium, and iron.

Keeping a food diary combined with nutritional tests also can help us better assess your nutritional needs and what changes in your diet and lifestyle may be needed. Doctor Bourget also will review your medical history and talk to you about what medications you are on. That’s because some medicine may prevent your body from getting the nutrients and minerals it needs.

At Bourget Medical Aesthetics and Wellness, we can customize your diet along with a supplement plan – all based upon your individual needs.

While many people want to shed unwanted pounds, maintaining a diet that gives you needed nutrients is just as important to maintaining good overall health.

Don’t let your diet cause a lack of nutrients that you need to live a healthy life. If you are feeling weak, tired – and just off your game, a lack of nutrients may be to blame.

This in-depth nutritional assessment is included for all our concierge medicine patients.
