In collaboration with Buffalo Nutrition and Dietetics, we have nutritional counseling in the practice to assist with weight loss, chronic pain, and other concerns. BUFFALO NUTRITION
Pain & Headache
Diet can a play a key role in managing pain and headaches. There are foods that are known common triggers, however, not everyone has the same trigger(s). A full nutrition assessment is helpful to identify triggers and come up with a plan to modify your diet pattern in order to reduce or prevent migraines. Some common triggers include: Caffeine, chocolate, tyramine-rich foods, nitrates, aspartame and others.
Weight Loss
Weight loss nutrition therapy includes a comprehensive nutrition assessment which takes into consideration unique needs based on past medical history, any co-morbidities, recent lab work as well as setting attainable goals. Weight loss can improve quality of life, many people see improvement in quality of sleep, insulin sensitivity, improved mobility and even decreased pain. Buffalo Nutrition and Dietetics can assess your resting metabolic rate using indirect calorimetry if you have been having difficulty losing weight and suspect a slowed metabolism.
Other Care
In addition to managing pain, headaches and weight, Buffalo Nutrition and Dietetics works with patients to help them manage blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, gastrointestinal symptoms, maximize vitamin and minerals, and promote cognitive health. Many patient’s that are taking medications to manage conditions find that the dose can be decreased or even discontinued all together after making dietary changes and sticking to them. This is important as many common medications have side effects and can interfere with nutrient status.
