B Amrita Food Intolerance Centre
Let Food be thy medicine and medicine thy food-- Hippocrates
Here at the Food Intolerance Centre we manage a range of diseases from sinusitis, arthritis, dermatitis, eczema, chronic fatigue syndrome, psoriasis, autism and Asperger’s syndrome amongst others. All these diseases have one common factor in that the foods one is intolerant to either triggers or aggravates one’s condition. At the Food Intolerance Centre we assess the patient, conduct a food intolerance test and help the patient manage their food intolerance by offering dietary and nutitionaladvise. Nutrigenomics
‘If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.’- Hippocrates
Nutrigenomics is a new scientific discipline, one that studies the interaction between our genes, diet, lifestyle choices and health. It is one of the fastest growing sciences for improving health, energy and vitality through the power of personal genetic profiling. Through DNA profiling we are now able to map a person’s DNA profile. This profile will provide insight into an individual’s future in terms of risk to develop certain diseases, response to medication and ability to channel one’s energy according to a person’s talent and potential. Based on the results of the genetic profile we will tailor make personalized nutritional programs to prevent one from developing a certain disease. D.Amrita Mind Body Medicine Centre
‘The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.’-Hippocrates
Mind-body medicine (MBM) focuses on the interaction between the mind and body and on the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social and spiritual factors can directly affect health. MBM has emerged as a potential integrative modality for the management of several common medical diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, menopausal symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder, cancer, backache and more. We also offer specialized programs for seniors and kids/children. At the Amrita Mind-Body medicine centre, one of the main componenets of Amrita Integrative Health Centre, we have created programs to address many of our patients’ health challenges.
