Health and energy requires good nutrition. Ensuring you have a healthy diet is important for healing from any chronic disease.
Adhering to a WFPB (Whole Food Plant Based) or Mediterranean Diet have been shown to have the best health benefits. Dr. Low Dog has a wonderful food pyramid to follow for a Mediterranean Diet.
Ensure that your diet is high in colorful (phytonutrient rich) vegetables and fruit, that you are getting enough clean protein, as well as getting adequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Other supplements may be needed to help support your body. These may include a multivitamin/multimineral, additional omega-3s, antioxidant and/or detox support, gastrointestinal support, or other supplements. Your healthcare provider will help tailor a plan that meets your needs.
