Overview
What you eat is the raw material for everything your body builds and repairs. Clinical nutrition uses food deliberately, to calm inflammation, support digestion, steady blood sugar and supply the nutrients healing tissue needs.
Plans are practical. Amy Abbott, who holds a master’s in public health with a focus on clinical nutrition, is known for recipe binders that introduce changes gradually and work for the whole household. Where lab testing shows a specific need, recommendations are targeted to it.
