Health Professionals near Middlebury, CT

Often times people wait until they are diagnosed with a chronic disease before implementing change into their daily routine. I work one-on-one with clients with the intention of preventing chronic disease states, such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other other life-altering diseases through lifestyle. Achieving a healthy weight and a supportive gut are how we can eat to beat disease. An optimal gut plays a major role in preventing disease, regulating hormones, boosting immunity, and more. It's never too late to start living well.

Dr. Peter Zilahy has been practicing complementary medicine for the past 30 years. He has an extensive knowledge in functional neurology and medicine along with acupuncture and clinical nutrition. Dr. Zilahy prides himself in being “ahead of the curve” when it comes to natural methods. For example, in the early eighties he was advising patients to stay away from transfatty acids and lowering cholesterol when a cholesterol reading of 300 was normal. In 1989 he was one of the first practioners in the state to implement an exercise center for spinal conditions when the standard of care was bedrest.

She works with her clients to identify their goals, understand their lifestyle and preferences, and create a plan that fits their unique needs.

I have dedicated myself to help female endurance athletes ages 15-38 find natural ways to improve their performance, energy and stamina to reach their athletic potential.

I get down to the root causes through alternative testing, lifestyle changes, and meal planning.

Functional medicine nutrition aims to address the root cause of disease instead of just managing symptoms. As a nutritionist I believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself. By healing the gut, rebalancing nutrient levels and gently eliminating toxins we can create the conditions for true health.

In a world with so much nutrition noise, it's hard to know what applies to you, what doesn't and to separate fact from fiction.
