âFood comes first. But it wonât matter much if you canât digest, absorb and use nutrients from foods you eat. This is clinical nutrition. Connecting the dots between your diet, your gut health, and your unique biochemistry so that you can meet your health and healing goals.â Jennifer Brand, MPH, MS, CNS, Clinical Nutritionist

What do these health problems have in common? They, as well as many other chronic and complex conditions, can involve impaired gut health (because âall disease begins in the gut.â -Hippocrates) and they can be supported and often addressed with diet, supplement and lifestyle interventions.
