Clinical nutrition

Have you had similar experiences and does the thought of constant restrictions discourage you from making another attempt to lose weight?

We understand that the only truly effective way of eating is one that feels comfortable for you. That is why we will teach you how to compose meals intuitively. This way, food will become your ally in achieving your desired weight and body shape — and maintaining your results will feel natural and effortless, no matter the circumstances.

Thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism or Hashimoto’s disease often go undiagnosed for a long time, which can lead to various health problems.

Do you experience chronic fatigue, low energy or mood swings? Is your skin dry or are you experiencing hair loss? These may be signs of hypothyroidism.

Or perhaps you have noticed unexplained weight loss despite increased appetite, excessive sweating or episodes of diarrhea? These could be symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Properly balanced nutrition can support pharmacological treatment, help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which body does not respond properly to insulin — hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. It is often the first step toward developing type 2 diabetes.

We will teach you which foods you should choose and how to structure your meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity and prevent common complications.

Or perhaps you are dealing with other carbohydrate metabolism disorders? At Be Compleat, we also work with individuals living with type 1 diabetes or reactive hypoglycemia.

Our bodies have incredible ability to defend themselves against pathogens but sometimes this defense mechanism misfires and begins attacking body’s own cells and tissues. These reactions are known as autoimmune diseases.

Some of the most common autoimmune conditions include:

• Celiac disease

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Atopic dermatitis

• Multiple sclerosis

Ensuring proper nutrition can help reduce chronic inflammation and strengthen the immune system. As a result, course of the disease may become milder and troublesome symptoms can be significantly reduced.

Our bodies produce over 50 different hormones and imbalances in their production can lead to variety of troublesome symptoms and health issues.

Hormonal imbalance may show up as weight fluctuations, excessive hair growth or frequent mood swings. Skin changes and menstrual cycle disturbances can also occur.

If you suffer from endometriosis, PCOS or struggle with acne, restoring hormonal balance will be essential for your health and well-being.

Digestive problems such as diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating or heartburn are common and affect many people. These issues can be caused by various factors including unhealthy diet, stress or chronic illnesses. 

We will help you identify the root cause of your symptoms and support you in developing healthy eating habits to manage following digestive conditions:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
• Helicobacter Pylori infection
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic conditions that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. While medical treatment is essential, proper dietary habits also play crucial role in maintaining remission.

For people living with IBD, personalized approach to nutrition is especially important, taking into account their specific symptoms and individual food tolerances.

Nutritional needs can vary depending on phase of the disease – during flare-ups, more care is needed in planning meals compared to periods of remission.

Flare-up can lead to significant weight loss or problems with nutrient absorption – this is where well-balanced diet can make a real difference and help prevent deficiencies.

Deciding to try to have a baby is one of the most important decisions in life. Well-balanced meals can not only increase your chances of getting pregnant but also positively impact health of future mom and development of baby.

At Be Compleat, we will guide you on how to:

• properly prepare your body for pregnancy
