Staying healthy and strong in the 21^st century is a challenge.  Life has evolved to a stress-filled, fast-paced, stimulant-fueled level of intensity that challenges even the best genetically-endowed of us to keep up the pace.  Our kids face threats of ADD and autism while our elderly suffer dementias and multiple drug interactions in droves.  Cardiovascular disease kills in record numbers every year while statins and other drugs cause serious side-effects.  More people die in the U.S. each year from adverse prescription drug reactions than from auto accidents!    

Many people suffer from chronic pain that has not been satisfactorily diagnosed or correctly treated.

Too many employees miss work due to fatigue and recurrent infections.  Our environment is degraded and many industrial toxins are now stored in our brains and reproductive tissues.  The excess of fast convenience foods and lack of exercise has fueled the an epidemic of diabetes and obesity in our children.  For the first time, America’s youth faces a decline in life expectancy!  Stress kills—and stress and inflammation underlie most of the disease processes that 21st century homo sapiens has to deal with.   

Clinical Nutritionists go far beyond the ordinary approach in assessing their patients.  Besides blood and other laboratory values, clinical nutritionists may employ salivary and urinary pH levels, hydrochloric acid status, hydration index, adrenal function tests, measurement of antioxidant levels, marker mineral levels, and urinary mineral loss.  Electrodermal biofeedback measurement may be used to assess organ function, allergies, tissue toxicity, immune status and hormone imbalance. These assessments give “bottom line” information regarding organ function, neurological status and immune or endocrine imbalance.  All of these tests are performed conveniently in-office and can be repeated to measure progress.  

Dr. D’Brant also employs sophisticated techniques from Eastern healing systems such as tongue and pulse diagnosis to evaluate her patients along with extensive patient history and symptomatology.  Human disease and dysfunction is viewed in the context of the stress, disharmony, nutrient depletion and pollution of our modern era along with a longitudinal view of genetic evolution of the species.    

Treatments include dietary and life style modifications along with phytonutrient supplements which repair tissues and restore organ function. Quality nutritional supplements from herbal and homeopathic sources, hand-blended for each patient, along with personalized nutritional and relaxation plans are utilized.  Attention is paid to the patient’s individual factors which will make implementing the treatment plan easy and convenient!
