Dr. Picard believes the body has an amazing ability to heal itself when given the proper care including fresh water, rest, organic food, body work, exercise and proper nutritional supplements. It is important to realize that everyone possesses a uniqueness called biochemical individuality.  What this means is that everyone's internal biochemistry is different and thus what we put into our bodies should also be different.  Remember, just because you've heard something is good for you doesn't mean you actually need it. The only true way to determine whether or not you need something is to discuss it with a health care professional knowledgeable in nutrition.

If your body is lacking important macro and micro nutrients and/or not digesting and absorbing the foods you eat, over time it may cause physical illness.  It is important to get to the root of the imbalance in your body.  Identifying and treating the root problem will significantly improve your overall health.

Some of the common problems that I see regularly for nutrition are: Unhealthy Lifestyles and Eating Habits Obesity and Body Composition Weight Loss/Gain Elevated Cholesterol/Triglycerides Diabetes/Hypoglycemia Stomach and Digestive Disorders Fatigue Chronic Infections/Candida albicans Arthritic Conditions Osteopenia/Osteoporosis
