Nutritional Counselling

Are you confused by constantly changing advice about what you should or shouldn’t eat? If you want clear answers tailored to your individual needs, Health Box Clinic provides holistic nutritional counseling in Chicago. 

Benefits of Nutritional Counseling 

Nutritional counseling considers your needs and health goals, including any chronic diseases and if you are at risk of developing certain illnesses. This includes nutritional factors that prevent disease or reduce its severity, alongside deficiencies that a disease or its treatments may cause. It also involves cooperation between medical management and nutritional care, as both forms of treatment are necessary. 

Health problems that nutritional counseling may address include: 

• High blood pressure 
• High cholesterol and triglycerides 
• Cardiovascular issues
• Type II diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Insomnia 
• Mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression
• Digestive conditions
• Inflammatory conditions, including autoimmune disease

• Hormone imbalances, including the relief of menopausal symptoms
• Infertility and subfertility
• Fatigue, including chronic fatigue syndrome and difficulty recovering from exercise
