A Personalized Approach to Nutrition

During your consultation, Dr. Bijelic takes time to understand the full picture of your health. She reviews your health history, current symptoms, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, medications, supplements, and available laboratory findings to identify patterns and areas that may benefit from additional support.

From there, she develops a personalized nutrition and wellness plan based on your individual needs, health concerns, and goals.

Recommendations may include:

• Personalized nutrition therapy

• Lifestyle and stress-management strategies

• Supplement recommendations when appropriate

• Review and interpretation of laboratory testing

• Guidance regarding additional testing when clinically indicated

  
  

Functional Laboratory Testing

When appropriate, Dr. Bijelic may recommend specialized functional laboratory testing to gain deeper insight into areas such as gut and microbiome health, nutrient status, hormone balance, metabolism, and immune function.

These advanced tests can provide additional information that helps guide a more individualized nutrition and wellness plan.
