Injury Healing 

I design a customized, easily executable nutrition strategy personalized to your specific injury and your individual needs. This plan helps assure that you are consuming the right amounts of necessary nutrients in order to:

 

  • OPTIMIZE recovery of injury (bone, concussion, tendon, ligament, muscle)

​

  • REDUCE​

    • Excessive inflammation

    • Risk of deficiencies that can interfere with healing

    • Muscle mass loss and /or body fat gain during immobilization

    • Indirect concussion symptoms, which may be caused by a hypersensitivity to imbalances of food / liquid combination, timing and ratios

"Two studies have demonstrated that an immobilized limb due to an injury can incur muscle loss at a rate of 0.5% daily. During the first 2 weeks of immobilization, an 8% muscle loss can bring about a strength loss of up to 23%."*
