Health Challenges
with
Carol Forman Helerstein, Ph.D
Licensed Clinical Nutritionist
I am so pleased that you are looking at my web site.
Some of the health issues I deal with are SIBO, bloating, digestive issues, headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, memory loss, brain fog, anxiety, arthritis, Type 2 diabetes, allergies, bladder infections, Candida, gluten intolerance, sinus infection, fibromyalgia, fatigue and migraines.
It is essential that we work on educating people about how we can maximize our health by making better food choices, keeping active, exercising and prioritizing both good sleep habits and recognizing the importance of emotional wellbeing.
I will help you to learn strategies that will help to improve your overall health. Quality of life can be greatly enhanced by addressing proper nutrition, good sleep habits, exercise and effective vitamin and nutrient supplements. Our approach to wellness is to look for the underlying cause of illness and to put into place an actionable plan that leads to better health.
We need to transform our ideas about health and growing old. For all the wonderful technologies that modern medicine affords us, there is a disconnect between today’s approach to health and seeing the body as a whole entity and what it takes to really achieve vibrant good health. We need to not only work on prolonging Lifespan, we need to prolong Healthspan and the quality of our lives.
The Standard American Diet (SAD) is truly sad. With its emphasis on high caloric foods that are high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, contain little or no fiber, and lots of processed oils, we are killing ourselves with our forks!
Because eating this way is contrary to how we are meant to eat and biologically process food, we end up in metabolic purgatory which contributes to the onslaught of degenerative disease.
We need to rethink our approach to what eating well even means when the majority of what we put into our bodies is controlled by the economics of the food industry that has led to these diet related conditions and illnesses. It’s a challenge because the entire food industry is based on a business model that emphasizes profit rather than health.
It is my hope that this website will educate and inform so that readers can access the tools they need to bring greater health, joy and longevity into their lives. As someone who herself has reached these “Golden Years” I know how important it is to be able to participate in the activities that bring quality to life no matter how old we are. It is time to reevaluate our thinking about the aging process and age in general. Hopefully we can make choices that encourage wellness and add quality and health in these Golden years.
