A BETTER YOU
Your food choices affect your overall well-being. Signals in the gut-brain axis, along with nutrition, have effects on mood, behavior and cognition. In this sense, it should not be forgotten that choosing the right food and eliminating nutritional deficiencies affects your mood as well as your general health.
Happy guts come with a good diet.
Reach Your Goals
MY SERVICES
Nutritional Awareness
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS NOT THE DIET METHODS, BUT WHICH NUTRITION MODEL FITS YOUR LIFE FLOW.
How can you understand that you are eating without realizing it?
The easiest way to understand is try to remember what you had at your last meal.
Can you describe the taste and texture of the food?
If you have difficulty remembering the characteristics of the food, it means you are not eating mindfully."
Diet in Thyroid Diseases
DIET PLAN DURING DISEASE
The thyroid gland regulates many bodily processes such as metabolism, sleep, digestion and hormone balance. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much thyroid hormone, while hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is underactive and produces too little thyroid hormone. When evaluating the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, they both have changes in bowel habits and fatigue in common.
- Our goal throughout diet counseling is to discover your nutrition plan to improve your gut health and increase thyroid functions.
Stomach Acid Insufficiency
NUTRITION IN DISEASES
When food comes into your stomach, your stomach produces acid to start the digestive process. This is called stomach acid or hydrochloric acid (HCl).
- Stomach acid is important for digestion of proteins, absorption of minerals and control of parasites/bacteria/fungi. Low stomach acid increases the risk of SIBO and yeast infections.
- It impairs mineral absorption by disrupting nutrient absorption and causes problems in the digestive system, especially the esophagus and small intestine.
- During our nutritional counseling process, our goal is to make stomach acid levels healthy, balance intestinal health and reduce your current symptoms.
SIBO and Diet Management
FEEL BETTER
SIBO is not a digestive disorder. Rather, it is a laboratory finding that indicates a specific type of dysbiosis. Many diseases and constant use of certain drug groups contribute to SIBO (IBS, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, restless legs syndrome, rosacea and non-celiac gluten sensitivity , use of proton pump inhibitors, # h.pylori ..).
- The definition of SIBO is excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine. This disrupts the intestinal balance and causes digestive problems.
- Symptoms; gas, diarrhea/constipation, abdominal pain/cramps, vitamin B12 deficiency, other vitamin/mineral/fat malabsorption due to nutrient malabsorption, fatigue/weakness..
Finding the underlying cause for Sibo will provide the best solution.
During this diet process, our goal is to eliminate the symptoms of SIBO and discover your trigger foods.
Nutrition in Intestinal Diseases
THE INTESTINES ARE THE KEY TO YOUR WELL-BEING
A healthy body comes with a good intestinal balance. The most common problem I encounter in my clients is constipation due to past diet plan mistakes. Whatever solution you choose, it should be evaluated on an individual basis. The person should rest while monitoring other symptoms. If an intestinal problem manifests itself as diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain, the diet strategy must be changed.
The biggest reason why the information/applications you hear through hearsay do not work is that they are not personalized.
This counseling model aims to improve your quality of life in intestinal diseases.
