The Importance of Nutrition

Prevent Chronic Disease

Optimizing nutrient intake is pivotal for enhancing health and preventing chronic illness.

Relieve Symptoms

Nutrient depletions can cause fatigue, depression, and brain fog. Optimal vitamin and mineral levels can improve overall wellness.

Enhance Longevity

Proper nutrition supports long-term health by reducing inflammation, preserving cognitive function, boosting immunity and promoting graceful aging.

Common Symptoms

Signs of Nutrient Deficiency

Deficiencies can set the stage for chronic disease, inflammation, illness, decreased immune function, hormonal imbalances, mood, and the ability to cope with stress. Some symptoms and disease states that are caused by nutrient deficiencies can include:

  • Fatigue
  • Diabetes
  • Anxiety/Depression
  • Obesity
  • Osteoporosis
  • Migraines
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Migraines
  • Stress intolerance
  • Lack of endurance

Our Approach

Nutritional Health

To start this process, we first discuss your wellness goals and health history. We will order diagnostic testing based on your health history and concerns. These extensive diagnostic tests get to the root cause behind what is preventing you from achieving your health goals, including food sensitivity testing and/or genetic testing. We also consider:

  • Individual biochemistry. Nutrition requirements vary from person to person based on genetics, metabolism, and lifestyle.
  • Malabsorption. While you may eat a diverse and balanced diet, there can be other factors that prevent nutrients from being absorbed.
  • Illness. Chronic health conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, cancers, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune issues, and more can affect nutrient deficiencies either directly or indirectly.
  • Age. Nutrition requirements can drastically change as you age.
  • Lifestyle. Overconsumption of alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, and excessive exercise can all affect nutrient absorption.
  • Stress. Emotional, physical, and environmental stressors all affect nutritional needs and the absorption of nutrients from food.
  • Medications. Some prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications can also impede absorption or increase the need for certain types of nutrients.

After your results come back, we create a comprehensive plan that may include a combination of dietary recommendations, supplements, and/or lifestyle changes.

What to Expect

Micronutrient Testing

According to health.gov reports regarding dietary guidelines in the United States, approximately three-fourths of the population has an eating pattern that is unhealthy. The “Standard American Diet” is rich in processed foods and low in nutrient-dense foods. Because this way of eating has become the norm for so much of our population, many people are actually malnourished. Even people who lead healthy lifestyles and eat clean can still struggle with nutrient deficiencies.

What it Tests for

The Vibrant Micronutrient test measures nutritional status at a cellular level, not just the blood levels of nutrients. It offers a comprehensive and accurate assessment of your micronutrient levels.

Since each individual person is different, this can offer specific insight into your health, and then your provider can work with you to devise a plan to make sure you are properly nourished so your mind and body can achieve optimal function.

The Vibrant Micronutrient tests for 40 different nutritional markers, including:

  • Amino acids
  • Antioxidants
  • Co-factors
  • Essential fatty acids
  • Immune response
  • Minerals
  • Vitamins

At DLHC, you can trust that our treatment plan in Southlake focuses on understanding you and how best to treat you.

Other serum blood tests may only look at the concentration of nutrients outside of the cells, but the Vibrant Micronutrient test shows levels within the cell structure where the essential metabolic function occurs. It is an excellent indicator of overall health.

    I am more than pleased that I’ve found Dr. Berutti! She is my personal physician as well as my anti-aging doctor. She is Board-Certified in both Internal Medicine as well as Anti-Aging Medicine. Plus, she is a DO which is very important to me. She understands and believes in a holistic approach to health. I first visited Dr. Berutti in November 2016. After a course of tests – bone density, extensive blood work, and breast exam, etc. she began my bio-identical hormone treatment in February 2017. In a matter of 3 weeks, I began to feel more energetic, happier and stronger. My skin and hair both got softer and healthier. I have absolutely no aches and pains and for the first time in years, I am enjoying being more active…desiring to work out! My husband is hoping to jump on the HRT bandwagon soon. He has seen the changes in me and will be visiting Dr. Berutti in July. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Berutti … she listens, she cares and most of all she delivers!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Berutti's for about 9 months and I have most definitely improved my heath and quality of life since I first saw her as a patient and began her recommendations and medical guidance for Hormone Replacement Therapy. I find Dr. Berutti extremely thorough and very specialized in this area of medical treatment. She understands how to balance hormones throughout the body and she is not a doctor that prescribes a one size fits all treatment plan. It takes time to get everything back in balance and I would encourage anyone that seeks this type of treatment to be patient and follow her advise and recommendations. It takes time to get dosages correct and everything in balance. NO more hot flashes for me. My energy level is so much better. Everything is better. I hope that she will continue to be my "anti-aging hormone balance" doctor for many, many years to come. She is truly the best and I highly recommend her.

    I just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for all you have done for Ruth and me over the years. We are doing well and thanks to your help, support and kindness when we were at our lowest point and ready to give up. We were able to get through the roughest time in our lives in part to your help and support. You came to our aid and supported us when we were ready to throw in the towel. We sure miss you and hope you are doing well. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to make sure I said THANK YOU to one of the kindest people I have ever met. You were always more than just a doctor, you are our caregiver, wizard of all things big and small and most of all a friend. I will never forget you and all that you did for us.

    Excellent care!! Started with Dr. Berutti 2 years ago. Vast knowledge. Another doctor who attended medical school with her told me, “She is very smart, you can trust anything she tells you,” and indeed I do. I went to her depressed, lethargic (could hardly get out of bed), no energy, no stamina, feeling arthritic, failing memory, aggressive at times, and the list goes on & on. I live 100 miles away, so every appointment after the first was via telephone conference (very convenient.) Dr. Berutti is very personable, pays constant attention to details, sincerely interested in what she can do to give you a dynamic life! We started with an extensive and lengthy interview (1+ hours), followed by a barrage of tests near home (blood, saliva, mammo, pap, history questionnaire, bone density, etc.) Everything but fingerprints!! Now I feel and act much, much better. Hard to explain what it’s like to live joyously again.... My deepest Gratitude to Dr. Lyn Berutti.
