Nutrition
Dr. Allen is a board certified nutritionist with the American Clinical Board of Nutrition (DACBN). He tests for and prescribes nutritional supplements for those patients who have symptoms of deficiency including those individuals who, despite what regimen they may have been on in the past, just don't feel well.
Scientifically based nutrition is a method of using diagnostic testing - blood work, hair analysis, and urinalysis - to reveal nutritional deficiencies or tendencies toward disease. Using these tests, Dr. Allen provides each patient with an individualized fifteen page report and makes recommendations for proper supplementation and dietary change.
Have you ever asked yourself:
- I went to three different practitioners who used muscle testing to determine my problem and what my body needed. They came up with three completely different diagnoses and made three completely different recommendations. How do I know who or what is really accurate for my body?
- I went to one practitioner who made certain recommendations. My friend went to him a month later and he made the exact same recommendations for her. How can it be that we both require exactly the same thing?
- How do I know if these vitamins are working?
- What diet is best for me? I've read about high protein diets, low protein diets, juice fasts, and elimination diets. It all seems like a fad or whatever that particular doctor is into.
- Are my symptoms simply due to the fact that I'm 'getting old'?
- What can I do for problems that are just beginning?
- My doctor said there's 'nothing wrong with me' but I still feel bad. What should I do?
- Are there any effective natural remedies with less side effects? This stuff I'm taking makes me gag.
Not only is scientifically based nutrition the most important tool you can have for the prevention of disease, but it can also optimize the health of your body to promote healing and repair. Many problems can be identified in the blood long before you actually have symptoms. Certain tests, when properly read, may indicate progression toward a serious illness such as cancer, diabetes, liver, heart, or other diseases. A properly trained nutritional doctor can identify the problem areas and carefully document major and minor conditions that may lead to serious illness.

We will usually re-test you after two to three months on the program to determine your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your program according to how your body has responded.
