Nutritional Therapy

We help busy, active people with elite-level nutritional therapy so they can feel & perform their best

A healthy diet is one of the most important things you can do to safe-guard yourself, and your family, against sickness and disease. As a result, at Back to Function (BTF) we take nutritional counseling very seriously. But it’s not just about preventing disease. Your BTF doctor will guide you in making food choices beneficial to your health so you can feel-recover-perform better and look your best. One of our favorite programs to get you started on a healthier (and thinner) you is our 14-day Designs for Health detoxification cleanse program. Not only will this cleanse help you lose weight by eating healthier foods, you should also notice an increase in energy and emotional wellness. Whether or not you use the 14-day detox from Designs for Health to jumpstart your health, the nutritional approach we recommend to many of our adult clients is the BTF Metabolic Optimization Program.

Use the BTF Metabolic Optimization Program to:

1. improve your metabolism and ability to burn calories
2. improve your body composition by increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat
3. decrease inflammation in your body
4. control your insulin and blood sugar
5. optimize your body’s mineral balance

As you follow the BTF Metabolic Optimization Program, you’ll learn to eat a healthy balance of high-quality protein, carbohydrates and fats in an appropriate ratio that will improve your metabolism and help you find your ideal body weight.

Once you are ready to get started, you can schedule a consultation with our nutrition coach, Whitney Sulentor. She has helped many individuals meet their fitness and nutrition goals.

What About Supplements?: Since nutritional supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), at BTF we only recommend nutritional supplements that are pharmaceutical grade. Pharmaceutical grade supplements have been  independently tested and verified by an outside laboratory. You cannot get this type of quality supplement at your local grocery or nutrition store and is only available from your trusted healthcare provider. At BTF, the nutrition company we trust the most is Pure Encapsulations. We carry the Pure Encapsulations products that we feel are the most useful for many of the conditions that we see, but we can order any Pure Encapsulations supplements that you need.

What If I’m In Pain?: Certain foods and supplements can actually decrease inflammation and help your body heal faster. Many of the well-known anti-inflammatory and pain reducing medications have been discovered from actual plant sources in nature. Your BTF doctor will guide you to making food choices beneficial to your health so you can feel better faster. For joint repair and mobility (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot issues) we use Joint Complex, and for spinal repair (back or neck issues) we use Disc-Flex.

What About Improving Athletic Performance?: Your food and hydration choices are crucial to maximizing your athletic potential. The doctors and BTF can help you with proper nutrition and hydration guidelines. Some of the nutritional supplements that can also aid your performance are:

Athletic Nutrients -multivitamin/mineral complex for exercise performance and training

Creatine Monohydrate –supports the body’s natural ability to regenerate the primary energy immediately available to working muscle and has the potential to increase optimal work output and delay fatigue in activities such as weightlifting and sprinting

 Redmond’s Re-Lyte Hydration Mix -electrolyte supplementation

Magnesium Complex Liquid -good for athletic performance and immune system activation

PurePaleo Protein or PurePea Protein from Designs For Health -tissue repair and healing

What About Weight Loss?: If you want to lose weight, tone muscles and increase endurance, then BTF has you covered. We understand what it takes to increase your metabolism so that your body becomes a fat-burning machine. Combined with our BTF fitness plan, you will see significant decreases in body fat while toning muscles and improving your stamina. We use the state of the art in body composition analysis with the InBody 570. This bioelectrical impedance device goes beyond traditional body composition analysis, measuring fat, visceral fat, muscle and total body water. 

Some of the nutritional supplements that can also aid your weight loss goals are:

AdipoLean II -healthy weight management and abdominal circumference

CholestePure –promotes healthy cholesterol metabolism

Metabolic Xtra -supports healthy glucose & insulin metabolism

XanthiTrim -supports fat metabolism

What About Immune System Boosters?: 

PureDefense w/ NAC -immune system booster and upper respiratory health

Zinc -helps your immune system and metabolism function

Note: taking zinc and quercetin together can enhance immune benefits and make them more potent

EPA/DHA -supports cardiovascular health

At BTF we have found through years of client care that if we are able to address all areas of health: injury care, exercise therapy and nutrition, then we get the best results.
