In the first years in practice Kasia was resistant to nutritional supplementation even though it had been part of her training. She wanted to prove that foods sustained us and therefore we were capable of optimal health with foods alone. Unfortunately, we are no longer getting the sufficient amounts of nutrients from the foods we are eating. Moreover, as she evaluated every patient’s supplements, which is part of her assessment job, she repeatedly found substantial discrepancies in quality and dosage of particular constituents. Many supplements were ineffective or contained fillers, food colorings, or wrong forms of the constituents. Even worse, she discovered that while food was the backbone of a healthy lifestyle, patients improved faster and had better results if they took high quality supplements consistently to supplement their diet. Some patients’ gut integrity was also so compromised that even the best quality foods could not be absorbed, and those patients needed appropriate supplements to help the absorption of nutrients from foods or supplements containing nutrients ready to absorb.

Even worse, we have adulterated our food sources to such a degree that not only are we not meeting basic nutrient needs, which has been scientifically proven in research, but we also are overwhelmed with the toxicity in our immediate environment to a degree that is hard for the body to naturally clear. In short, we just may need extra help from the appropriately selected nutritional supplements. We are overfed and grossly undernourished. Appropriate supplements at the right doses, therefore, may be very beneficial, especially omega 3 fatty acid, an antioxidant and a good quality multivitamin.

Although Kasia makes commission off the supplements she may recommend, she believes them to be some of the best for most of her patients in most circumstances, always having individual needs and limitations of the patients in mind, and providing them at cost if needed just to make them available in order to help the patient improve. The two links below host some of the favorite choices she uses and are available only for patients of health professionals.  Please ask Kasia directly to assess your current supplementation so that your regimen is appropriate for your needs.
