About Our Practice

Balancing your body chemistry, because every-body is different

The power that made the body can heal the body. Nutritional therapy is simply the process of providing the body with the raw materials it needs to restore health and balance. It is a much more elegant and effective approach than simply masking symptoms with drugs.

Nutritional therapy is the practice of balancing your body chemistry and teaching you how to sustain balance with a nutrient-dense whole food diet. Nutrients are the chemical substances in food that are necessary to sustain life. Practitioners, like Lorrie Lee-Wells are trained by the Nutritional Therapy Association to help you to find your unique biochemical imbalances and help to correct them with dietary change, nutritional supplementation and herbal therapies. It is best to address symptoms by addressing their biochemical cause.

Chemical Exposure

Chemical exposure can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, skin problems, digestive problems, recurrent Candidiasis, allergies and even cancer. Some occupations that involve chemical exposure are farmers, hairdressers, photographers, refinery and factory workers, airline employees, truck drivers, auto mechanics, painters, doctors and x-ray technicians. But in reality, all of us have an inappropriate amount of chemical exposure.

Just living on Earth gives us a fair amount of chemical exposure. How close do you live to a highway or airport? Air pollution is concentrated in the cities, but exists throughout the country. Farmers use liberal amounts of pesticides on their crops and liberal amounts of antibiotics in their animals. The amount of chemical exposure Americans get is unprecedented in history. Cancers of the liver, kidney and lymphatic system are on the rise. For people who are chronically ill, people who have multiple symptoms, who may be described as “just plain sick,” chemical toxicity is often one of their issues.

In the midst of this chemical bath we all are taking are people who suffer from many symptoms; they are like canaries that coal miners used to take into the mines. If the canary died, the miners knew that there were dangerous gasses present in the mine. In our society we have people who are exposed to the same chemical burden we all are. They, however, suffer with headaches, digestive problems, sensitivity to smoke and perfume, fatigue, muscle pains, joint pains, asthma, eczema, dizziness, back pain, neck pain, edema, PMS and any number of other symptoms because they have trouble handling the chemical burden that we are all exposed to. They are like the canaries in the coal mine; they suffer before anyone else.
