Updating Gut Health Techniques
New research is always coming out, which is exciting and can be very beneficial for client symptoms. I work to stay up-to-date on the newest recommendations for all types of gut health, as that is my expertise. With clients who are struggling with gut dysbiosis, using new techniques to eradicate gut pathogens is significant to the health of many of my clients.
Implementing Glutamine for IBS Relief
In my practice, I stay updated with the latest nutritional science through continuous education and reviewing current research. Recently, studies have highlighted the benefits of glutamine for intestinal health, particularly in managing IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Based on this evidence, I recommend high-quality, pure, unflavored glutamine supplements to my patients with IBS that are free from additives. This approach, combined with a tailored diet plan, has resulted in an 80% improvement in IBS symptoms for many of my patients.

Applying CDED for Crohn's Disease
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal diseases, I continuously integrate the latest nutritional science into my practice to provide the best care for my clients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). For instance, I've implemented the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED), a dietary regimen supported by research that gained significant clinical backing just a few years ago for inducing and maintaining remission in Crohn's disease patients. By guiding a client through the phases of this diet when appropriate, we can significantly reduce their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life. Keeping up with the latest studies and clinical guidelines allows me to offer evidence-based recommendations that address the unique needs of each client, ensuring they receive the most effective nutritional support.
Cross-Referencing Nutritional Science Research
Integrating nutritional science into my practice is very important, although the information does change from time to time based on new research. It is important to cross-reference our research. For example, there has been a spike in resveratrol supplement usage, touted by many healthcare providers; yet, recently there was a study that suggested the supplement may be harmful for cardiovascular health. The study showed that resveratrol supplements increased atherosclerosis in rabbits. Therefore, the jury is still out. It’s best to get our nutrients and antioxidants through foods. That said, there is a place for supplements for many individuals; we just need to be careful and do our research.
