Nourishing Your Health: The Power of Diet and Nutrition
At Sheridan Medical Group, we believe that what you eat forms the foundation of your overall well-being. In collaboration with Buffalo Nutrition and Dietetics, we offer comprehensive nutrition consultation services delivered in a supportive and evidence-based environment. We partner closely with you and your primary care provider to understand your unique nutritional needs and empower you to achieve your health goals through ongoing education and self-management strategies.
The Vital Link: Nutrition and Your Health
The impact of nutrition extends far beyond just weight management. It plays a crucial role in:
- Diabetes Management: For individuals with Type 1, Type 2, or Gestational Diabetes, mindful nutrition is paramount. Our Registered Dietitians provide tailored guidance on blood sugar control, carbohydrate counting, meal planning, and strategies to prevent or manage complications.
- Holistic Wellness: We recognize that health is interconnected. Nutrition significantly influences other key aspects of your well-being, including:
- Mental Health: Emerging research highlights the gut-brain axis, demonstrating how nutrition can impact mood, energy levels, and even contribute to the management of conditions like anxiety and depression. A balanced diet provides essential nutrients that support optimal brain function.
- Physical Therapy, Fitness, and Movement: Fueling your body with the right nutrients is essential for energy, muscle recovery, and maximizing the benefits of physical activity and therapeutic exercises. Proper nutrition can enhance strength, endurance, and overall physical performance.
- Sleep: Certain dietary patterns and nutrient deficiencies can disrupt sleep patterns. Our nutrition experts can help you identify foods and eating habits that promote restful and restorative sleep.
