Dietary Support of Healing Whether lowering cholesterol and hypertension, easing bloating and other digestive issues, helping to correct blood sugar levels, reducing strong cravings for sweets or salt, correcting nutritional deficiencies, or boosting the immune system, shifting to a more balanced way of eating can be a unique and yet little utilized tool to help our bodies heal. Depending on the condition, a shift to a temporary, simplified "healing diet" or a slower transition into healthful eating is recommended. Healing Diets A greatly simplified diet can have its place as a tool to support healing. A simplified diet can help achieve necessary short-term goals quickly and, as healing occurs, some excluded foods can be added back into the diet. We provide this approach as an option, especially in cases where someone is suffering from a serious and debilitating illness and there is convincing or suggestive research that eating a diet based on certain principles has supported the healing of others with the same or a similar condition. In the event that a client is unwilling or unable to work with this type of simplified diet, we believe that it is important to find an approach that offers a more gradual move toward healthier patterns of eating. We have found that, in many cases, clients can achieve many goals quickly with this transitional approach as well. The following is a partial list of conditions that have been improved and even reversed during a shift to a diet based on the principles that we incorporate into our nutrition counseling:

The best part of working with you is that you do not expect perfection and do
not advocate restriction. Instead you have assisted me and encouraged me to
make slow changes. You have provided me with knowledge as to what certain
foods do to my body and why eating them or limiting them are beneficial. This
way I can make an educated decision.
