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%."*
