 I'm Mary Brighton, integrative nutritionist at Hackensack Meridian Integrative Health and Medicine. The food and nutrition component of integrative medicine shares the philosophy of focusing on the whole person. It's not just about the recommended number of fruits and vegetables you're eating or whether you're getting the nutrients in your food. We focus on looking at your lifestyle and the environment you're living in and how that is affecting your health. During an integrative nutrition consultation, you meet with a nutritionist. We develop a very strong relationship between the person, you and the practitioner, the nutritionist. We conduct a very thorough nutrition assessment which looks at your medical history, your food and dietary intake. We look at your current lifestyle. We don't just look at what food you're eating, but we look at everything that's going on in your life. An integrative nutritionist helps persons with sugar and balances. For example, pre-diabetes and diabetes. We also help manage autoimmune disorders, mood disorders. Whatever reason that you need to come and see a nutritionist, we are here to help you reach that goal of where you want to be. Anyone can benefit from a nutrition consultation, whether you have a chronic disease, whether you just want to live healthier, we can help you get back on that right step.
