“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” – Thomas Edison

Nutrition is the science that examines the relationship between diet and health. Clinical nutrition is the utilization of foods, nutrients, and supplements to restore health. Deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health leading to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, and more.

Nutrition has been one of the foundations of naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic Doctors believe that the foods we eat affect our everyday health and wellness. Hippocrates said it best. "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine thy food”. Food and supplementation with the proper nutrients (i.e. vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.) can help lead the body towards optimal health. A growing body of scientific research validates the Naturopathic approach to diet and nutrition. Many medical conditions can be effectively treated with food and nutritional supplements, with fewer complications and side effects.
