It’s simple really. Healthy food choices lead to a healthier you. But sometimes it’s difficult to know what those choices should be at a given moment. At Beyond Limits Nutrition, we have the clinical background and expertise to help you identify which foods react with certain medications, trigger allergic responses, irritate or fatigue the digestive system, deplete calcium resources, block nutrient absorption, and in general, counteract the good intentions behind your meals.
When treating an illness or injury, food can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Sure, everyone knows that junk food is bad … but did you know that consuming nightshades, such as tomatoes and potatoes, may be exacerbating your arthritis symptoms by inducing inflammation? Were you aware that drinking black tea during meals can interfere with iron absorption? Could your morning cup of coffee be sabotaging your important company presentation by triggering acid reflux and damaging your voice? Or that eating a Mediterranean diet may help with your dementia?
At Beyond Limits, our nutritional team can offer practical dietary strategies and help you integrate better, healthier foods into your daily life.

Geriatric Nutrition
As we age, it is much harder to adequately nourish our bodies. Chewing ability, swallowing ability, motor function and appetite decline making it harder to eat enough food. Many end of life diseases can leave elderly patients with an increased demand for calories and micronutrients. Ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is also crucial to preserve bone health. Nutrition counseling can help ensure the best quality of life as you age.
Stroke and Dementia
The best way to reduce your risk of dementia and stroke is to adapt various aspects of your lifestyle, including eating healthier, exercising regularly, eliminating smoking, and maintaining normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, fish and unrefined cereals, and low in red meat and sugar could help reduce dementia risks. In recent years, there has also been increasing evidence showing that the Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of stroke. Our dieticians can help you incorporate principles of the Mediterranean diet into your lifelong habit.
