Discovering your nutritional baseline might be the single most important action you can take in improving your overall health. It’s the best way to kick off your journey to experiencing vibrant health and wellness.
 

What Is A Nutritional Baseline?

 
A nutritional baseline is like an individual road map to your health and is a designed-for-you, holistic assessment of your specific health status and needs. This baseline establishes your overall “health complexion” with your body’s inherent strengths, weaknesses and genetic predispositions, as well as your past and present dietary and lifestyle choices.
 
It doesn’t matter if you are feeling perfectly well or are suffering from chronic symptoms or a serious health condition—your nutritional baseline will help you understand your health from a “whole-body” perspective.
 

Where To Begin

 
Your own nutritional baseline should be established by a reputable, practicing nutritionist or naturopathic doctor who uses some type of biochemical analysis of your urine, saliva and hair. This type of analysis is non-invasive and provides a more stable and accurate reading of your health.
 
You can also visit a practicing iridologist who knows how to skillfully read your eyes. Your eyes are the windows to the health of your body, and a wealth of information can be gathered from examining your irises by a qualified professional.
 

How It Works

 
As far as evaluating your individual genetic predisposition goes, a natural health professional will want to know your family’s health history in-depth. He or she will also want to know if your parents and/or grandparents smoked or had lung cancer—which might mean that you inherited weak lungs.
 
Or, if your family had a history of constipation or colon cancer, it’s highly likely that you inherited a structurally weak bowel.
 
If arthritis is common in your family, you could be more susceptible to the condition. And, if the women in your family had breast cancer, you could have inherited a weak and sluggish lymphatic system.
 
All of the questions and answers you provide to your natural health professional will help map your genetic strengths and weaknesses. I believe that prevention is the best medicine and it’s critical to give extra attention and nourishment to your body’s potential problem areas. A healthy diet and supplementation can make a world of difference.
  

The Benefits

 
By understanding your body’s strengths and weaknesses, a natural health professional can tailor a nutritional program to your specific needs. You’ll learn about what foods are best suited, what supplements are beneficial, and what areas and organs of your body need supplementation and special attention.
 
A personalized nutritional baseline can address and alleviate many of the health issues you may currently be experiencing such as: headaches, constipation, weight gain, fatigue, headaches, allergies, low sex drive, digestive disorders, and so much more.
 
A personalized nutritional baseline helps take the confusion out of how you can live healthier and longer. It provides a reference point you can draw from your entire lifetime and offer specific guidelines to nutrition, diet and lifestyle choices that support your health and well-being.
 

You Can Use Your Nutritional Baseline to Your Advantage

 
Your nutritional baseline helps you address potential problem areas and keep your body healthy. It teaches you to feed the weak areas of your body with nutrient-rich foods and supplements and helps restore and rejuvenate those weak areas so you experience better health. When you are armed with information on your own body, as well as powerful nutritional knowledge, you are in a unique position to treat current health problems and prevent potential health problems and chronic conditions.
 
Having a nutritional baseline is like having your own personal bodyguard. By establishing your own baseline, you’ll be able to support your health and well-being throughout your lifetime and enjoy a healthier, more vibrant you.
