NUTRI-SPEC
Metabolic
balance through specific nutrition
Just what
do we mean when we say your metabolism is out of balance?
We are talking about the fundamental metabolic control
systems
which must function properly to keep you strong and healthy.
Because Dr. Cohen is committed to every useful facet of
extending longevity, allowing us to live better and longer, it’s important for
each of us to understand that these eight fundamental metabolic control systems
are the very engines that drive your body and mind. When these engines are working efficiently, you move through life
with strength and vitality. When one or
more of these control systems loses efficiency your body and mind simply cannot
perform at their best. When the
metabolic imbalance is severe enough or exists for a prolonged time,
pathological changes occur and you suffer the symptoms of disease.
The NUTRI-SPEC practitioner is offering you health care
which is patient-specific rather than disease-specific. What that means is that you will not be
offered a collection of “remedies” for any symptoms or conditions you may be
suffering. Rather than consider your
disease, your NUTRI-SPEC practitioner will carefully consider you.
One of the key concepts of NUTRI-SPEC is biological
individuality. Even though the
NUTRI-SPEC system is based on complex scientific principles of biochemistry, it
is really quite simple to understand the big idea here. Basically, all your NUTRI-SPEC practitioner
is saying is that different people have different nutrient requirements for
their body to produce energy efficiently and to perform all its other functions
efficiently. A good analogy would be to compare two different people to two
different cars – say two Cadillacs, one that runs on diesel, and one that runs
on premium gasoline.
They may look the same; they may perform the same function;
they may have the same basic design of engine; but – mix up the fuels and look
out!
So it is with people.
Some don’t do too well if they eat too much red meat, yet some become
incredibly weak without red meat.
NUTRI-SPEC Testing can tell which is the ideal fuel for each person.
Similarly, some people thrive on eating cheese and butter, while other people have terrible trouble if they eat cheese or butter. Again, NUTRI-SPEC can tell who is who. Some people might desperately need a calcium supplement, yet there are others who will very quickly become sick and weak if they take excess calcium, or the wrong form of calcium. NUTRI-SPEC Testing can tell you exactly what supplements, exactly how much, and in exactly what form is ideal for your particular individual body chemistry.
With all of the technologies
available to experts like Dr. Cohen, tools such as NUTRI-SPEC can prove to be
invaluable, because like so many of the other specific treatments that Dr.
Cohen embraces with remarkable success, the combination of common sense, solid
information, and up-to-date technology all come together to benefit you very
precisely.
How can this be done? How can your NUTRI-SPEC practitioner tell exactly how your individual needs differ from those of the next person? It all comes down to the analysis of your 46 tests. This brings us to another important key concept of NUTRI-SPEC – the importance of objectivity in clinical testing. Only with a scientific, objective testing system can your specific nutrition needs be precisely determined. With NUTRI-SPEC it is found that you are not like nay other person –- even if you and that person present the exact same disease or condition.
Do you begin to see the difference between a patient-specific and a disease-specific approach to health care? Suppose your NUTRI-SPEC practitioner is confronted with two patients suffering from arthritis. Will he give them remedies for arthritis? Certainly not. Objective test procedures will be performed and each of those two patients will be treated with an entirely different nutrition regimen even though their disease is exactly the same.
Now, think again about those metabolic control systems. These are the underlying cause of whatever symptoms or conditions you may have. All normal metabolic processes involve the operation of one or more of the fundamental control systems as the means to maintain balanced and efficient function. Conversely, all abnormal function in your body involves a loss of balance associated with a problem in one or more of these fundamental balance systems. All disease pathology reflects dysfunction in these fundamental control systems of sufficient intensity or duration to cause tissue destruction or degeneration.
The goal of NUTRI-SPEC is to restore balance to your metabolic control systems, thus increasing your adaptive capacity.. Increasing your over-all adaptive capacity is the only way to assure that you are living to your maximum potential. The result will be:
·
Better resistance to
disease
·
Renewed strength, such
that functional and pathological symptoms can be overcome faster
·
More complete tissue
repair and regeneration
·
More effective handling
of stress
·
A high level of vitality
·
A slowing of the aging
process
And what specific problems does this metabolic balancing
address? Each of the metabolic
imbalances found in you disables your ability to perform the following
essential functions:
·
Maintain glycemic
control
·
Maintain normal
oxidative metabolism
·
Maintain ideal pH
·
Maintain ideal
concentrations of electrolytes and biologically active water
How important are these four functions? Good question.
They are the whole story.
If you are talking about health vs. disease, they are the difference
between living stronger and longer, and being sicker quicker.
In a nutshell, if you can maintain glycemic control,
normal oxidation, normal pH and normal flow and concentration of electrolytes
and water, then you will be in a state of health.
Your adaptive capacity and vitality will be at a level approaching your innate potential. Your NUTRI-SPEC practitioner can show you the way.
Once you have been so empowered you will have done
everything for your health that you can do nutritionally. Obviously, you’ll also save a great deal on
medical costs, not least because this does not entail not a weekly or monthly
repeat-visit scenario. Once you are so
empowered, you will likely scoff at the idea of taking remedies for this and
that condition – as so many people do in a disease-specific desparate attempt
to control symptoms with little or no regard for the cause of those symptoms.
With NUTRI-SPEC you will never need to resort to trial and
error to determine which foods or which nutrients might be best for you. It is all shown very clearly by an analysis
of your NUTRI-SPEC tests. And, trial
and error is what everyone else is stuck with who does not have the benefits of
the information gleaned from the tests.
For all those who take an unscientific trial and error approach to
nutrition, error is what they get most of the time.
With proper nutrition you will restore balance to the
primary metabolic control systems that regulate all your body’s essential
functions.
