A Nutritionist Can Help You Kick Slow Weight Loss and Fatigue to the Curb.
Boston is home to some of the world’s best hospitals and medical professionals, but living in the city doesn’t mean you’re free from illness. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine often fails its patients, especially when it comes to the gut. Modern diets full of high-processed foods can damage the healthy bacteria we need to convert food into energy. And before you think that the gut ends at the stomach, remember that your digestive microbiome can affect your sleep, mood, nerves, and other functions.
Do you struggle with any of these symptoms?
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Inability to lose weight
- Inability to gain weight
- Food intolerances
- Mood swings
- Bloating/Gas
If you answered “Yes” to any of these symptoms, then a certified nutritionist from Five Journeys® may be able to work with you to discover the root cause of your discomfort.
Why working with a Nutritionist is Better than Following a Lousy Fad Diet
Too many people in Boston (and elsewhere!) try to lose weight by following diets they find online or in magazines. But did you know that these simple diets may be adding to your fatigue, stress, and gut symptoms? That’s right. Your diet might be keeping you from the life you’ve always wanted! Our team includes both functional medicine nutritionists and registered dietitians with expertise in holistic nutrition.
Our functional medicine doctors know that fad diets can severely undermine your health goals:
- Many popular diets restrict your vitamin and nutrient intake.
- Fad diets encourage binge eating.
- Fad diets can’t pinpoint health issues beyond the food you eat.
- An expensive subscription drains your wallet and makes effective healthcare less affordable.
- Fad diets incorrectly focus on your weight instead of overall health and can adversely affect your mental health.
It’s time to say goodbye to fad diets and say hello to your new Five Journeys® nutritionist! We want you to feel your best – physically, mentally, and emotionally. This means reframing your diet from “losing weight” to “healthy nutrition.” Body shaming has absolutely no place here.
We meet with you either in person or online so that you feel truly seen as you navigate your nutrition journey.
