Nutrition
Lighthouse Nutritional Program
Lighthouse Nutritional Program is a personalized program based on the individual patient’s needs. We start by taking a patient’s medical history, evaluating their dietary habits and lifestyle choices, performing diagnostic testing, and reviewing their body systems survey. With this information, we present a plan to help our patients find proper nutrition, whole food supplementation to support their specific system needs, and to reach their specific health goals.
ALCAT Food & Chemical Sensitivity Test
ALCAT is a simple blood test that tells you which foods may be a problem and which foods may be beneficial for you. By finding a patient’s sensitivities, dietary changes can be made to help reduce potentially harmful immune system responses. These dietary changes may reduce your body’s burden by decreasing destructive inflammation, helping to restore normal body functions, and boosting your immune system – affecting your overall health.

BrainSpan Testings: Used for Brain Health and Function
Omega-3 fatty acids are the building blocks of the brain, determining the brain’s integrity and ability to perform. They are to your brain cells what calcium is to your bones – or what protein is to your muscles.
These crucial molecules cannot be made by your body, so it is critical to obtain them by eating fish or taking fish oil. The most important factor is how much is absorbed by your blood cells. This is a fact that many scientific studies on fish and fish oil miss, leading to confusion about the benefits of fish/fish oil.
Consistently measuring your Omega-3 Index is the only way to maintain optimal levels. An Omega-3 Index over 8% is associated with improved memory, attention, learning, mood stability, faster recovery from concussions, as well as lower anxiety, depression, and inflammation.
Tracking your index over time is one the most important ways to help prevent Alzheimer’s Disease, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease.
