Food As Medicine
What you consume, both food and drink, defines how you feel on a day to day basis — good or bad. Studies show that heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other problems are more likely to occur if you have poor nutrition. That’s not a surprise to most. But did you know that what you eat can relate to healing sports injuries and reducing joint pain? At Remedy, our goal is to teach you the the lifestyle choices you can make to limit or avoid continued suffering. Whole body health comes from movement and food primarily. Since Dr. Rolnik follows a holistic approach to healing, nutrition is always part of the equation to help you decrease your joint pain and feel your best!
Dr. Rolnik, the founder of Remedy, is also very passionate about prevention, wellness and results. She recommends dietary alterations for all of her patients having regenerative therapy to optimize success. Some may need to supplement deficient factors like Vitamin A or B while others prefer to focus on nutrition changes. The ultimate goal is to make sure your body has what it needs to heal and operate at full capacity!
We are very different than a car but consider food your “fuel”. If you are on empty or you use unrefined fuel (i.e. junk food, processed food, fried food), you probably are low on energy and your body isn’t receiving the ingredients it needs to run fast, long and hard. Studies show that those undergoing surgery heal better with enhanced nutrition both prior and after surgery. Using the same principle, Dr. Rolnik believes those getting regenerative treatments will obtain optimal healing if they are not simultaneously putting out fires in the form of body internal inflammation.
