Functional Nutrition
Plant Based Nutrition
Disease is easier to prevent than to cure. A big part of this prevention is achieved by consuming the right amount of nutrients on a daily basis, such as 5-9 servings of fresh raw fruits and vegetables. However, today’s busy lifestyles makes this tasks nearly impossible for the majority of human beings. Plant-based nutrition bridges the gap of what should be eaten, and what is being eaten in a daily basis
Naturally Balanced Holistic Care
At Naturally Balanced Holistic Care, we use functional medicine -a patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare- to identify and treat the underlying causes of chronic diseases by considering the patient’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences. We look at the root causes of our patients illnesses after responding a thorough questionnaire, reviewing blood work, and in some cases, deep-diving through the results of a micronutrient unique test that analyze the patient’s blood cells.
"He that takes medicine and neglects diet,
wastes the skill of the physician."

Cellular Function & Micronutrients
Cell function is a direct indicator of cellular health. When cells are healthy and functioning optimally, a person is healthy.
Micronutrients like vitamins and minerals are the tools that a cell needs to do the biochemical work of living beings. All the metabolic reactions that happen inside the cell are dependent on micronutrients. Vitamins act as coenzymes to biochemical reactions – if there is not enough of vitamin present in the cell, the cell cannot do its job.
By definition, a micronutrient deficiency is equal to cellular dysfunction. The cumulative effects of cell dysfunctions translates to diseases, fatigue, and pain. On the contrary, the cumulative effect of optimal cell functions is reflected in good health, vigor, and energy.
Micronutrient Test
The “one size fits all” approach to health is outdated. So to is having to estimate the nutrient adequacy of our patients, Naturally Balanced Holistic Care uses SpectraCell laboratories, because they use a proprietary technology that takes the guesswork out by offering an intracellular micronutrient evaluation. SpectraCell results reflect your cellular and immune health because they analyze your white blood cells. SpectraCell alone offers the technology that provides information about your personal micronutrient profile.
