Chron’s Disease

At Cornerstone Health Clinics, we integrate evidence-based nutritional strategies, inspired by sources like Blueprint Nutrition, to support patients with Crohn’s disease. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing Crohn's, as proper dietary choices can help alleviate symptoms, reduce inflammation, and promote overall gut health. Our approach is designed to provide patients with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed dietary decisions that complement their medical treatment plans.

nutritional support

Our first step is to conduct a thorough nutritional assessment for each patient. This involves evaluating their current diet, identifying any food intolerances or sensitivities, and understanding their nutritional needs and deficiencies. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized nutrition plan that focuses on anti-inflammatory foods, balanced meals, and adequate nutrient intake. This plan is tailored to each patient's specific symptoms and health goals, ensuring that they receive the right nutrients to support their overall health and well-being.

One key aspect of our nutritional support is education. We empower patients with information about which foods can help reduce inflammation and which ones might trigger flare-ups. For example, foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and flaxseeds, have anti-inflammatory properties and can be beneficial for patients with Crohn’s. On the other hand, we guide patients to avoid foods that are known to exacerbate symptoms, such as high-fiber raw vegetables during a flare-up, as they can be hard to digest.

In addition to personalized meal planning and education, we provide continuous support and monitoring. Our team of health professionals work closely with patients to adjust their diets as needed based on their symptoms and responses to treatment. We utilize digital tools to help patients track their food intake and symptoms, making it easier to identify patterns and make timely adjustments. This ongoing support ensures that patients remain on the right track and can make necessary changes to their diet to better manage their condition.

At Cornerstone Health Clinics, we understand that managing Crohn’s disease requires a comprehensive approach that includes both medical treatment and nutritional support. By integrating the latest nutritional strategies and providing personalized, continuous care, we help our patients achieve better health outcomes and an improved quality of life. Our dedication to using evidence-based practices ensures that our patients receive the most effective and up-to-date care possible.
