Integrative Medicine and You

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS:

Dr. Pizzino utilizes many nutritional, herbal and lifestyle modalities to promote vitality from the foundational building blocks of the cells on upward to the whole being. Matrix Medicine addresses the genetic expression that determines the molecular substance of the body, as well as the environmental "matrix" we live in. Utilizing basic science and advanced biochemical concepts to improve the fundamental structural components of the body often requires the use of probiotics, enzyme co-factors, detoxifying substances, molecular substrates, and other "medical foods" to prevent disease and achieve optimum wellness. Dr. Pizzino only recommends specific sources for these supplements after she has evaluated their scientific validity, efficacy and purity. Patients are encouraged to understand their use of vitamins, supplements and other over-the-counter products as thoroughly as they do prescription medications, as their effects and side effects can be just as profound. Many high quality supplements can be purchased at health food stores (trusted brands: Douglas Labs, Twinlabs, Solgar) or through other healthcare providers, such as Michael Sharp, MD at the Plum Spring Clinic (919-945-0300). When supplements of the most appropriate type and quality are not easily obtained elsewhere, Dr. Pizzino offers some supplements for purchase through her practice for the convenience of patients. One of the highest quality suppliers is Metagenics (Metagenics), who actually conduct clinical research trials on their products.
