I worked with a client with IBD where we focused on making simple swaps for some processed foods she was eating in favor of more minimally processed options. We ensured she was getting all the essential nutrients her body needed, such as adequate protein and hydration. Additionally, we added anti-inflammatory foods to her diet while reducing pro-inflammatory ones. Once we successfully lowered her inflammation, we could concentrate on fueling her for her half marathon goals. As a result of these dietary changes, her ESR and Fecal Calprotectin levels normalized, and she was able to return to running and complete a half marathon. She also maintained her weight loss and kept her Crohn's in remission, which was confirmed by an unremarkable MRI for inflammation in her intestines.
I had a client with binger eating behaviors, and labs before she started in our clinic noted new prediabetes diagnosis. The dietary changes we made focused on balanced meals and snacks, and stabilizing frequency of eating during the day. We did not restrict certain foods or promote certain foods. By just balancing what she was eating and regulating when she was eating, we improved her hemoglobin A1c and she was no longer considered prediabetic. This was also without any promoted weight loss. Strictly improved her health through nutrition.
