Orthomolecular Nutrition

Orthomolecular nutrition is defined as nutrition involving straight or correct chemistry. This can be further defined as providing the optimum molecular concentrations of naturally occurring substances, most available to the brain.

To achieve mental health, we examine the effects of nutrition on brain chemistry. Put simply, whole foods equal whole minds.

We have been persuaded by the food industry to eat foods that have been altered from their original raw state to a highly refined and dead state that, even though we eat ourselves full, leaves us malnourished. These dead products, that would by themselves taste horrible, are then sweetened and artificially colored and flavored, thereby tricking us into actually ingesting them.

We know that poor diet has physical effects, but it is only lately reaching public awareness that those same poor food choices can have mental effects. Since the brain uses more blood oxygen and more nutrients than any organ in the body, it is the first to feel the effects of nutrient deficiency, far before other physical effects occur.

“As long as food processing continues to strip out essential nutrients, there will be no letup in the creation of chronic ill health.” - Abram Hoffer

To alleviate this problem of poor nutrition affecting mental health, we provide our clients a diet based on Orthomolecular nutrition principles: a diet of whole foods, and we eliminate white rice, white flour, sugar, and caffeine. We customize each client's diet based on their individual blood testing and recommendations of our Orthomolecular medical doctor.
