Micro-nutrition is the use of micro-nutrients in the treatment of human body. It is a therapeutic tool easily integrated into conventional medicine to improve the health of patients with chronic conditions such as autoimmune, diabetes, cardiovascular, rheumatic, neurological, and psychological conditions. Also used as part of "anti-aging" medicine, the improvement of general immunity and sports performance and symptoms of menopause, chronic diarrhea, disorders such as fatigue, burnout, depression and autism.

 

The involvement of the gut microbiota in the onset and treatment of obesity is now clearly established and its participation in many diseases is suspected: depression, autism, allergies and most digestive conditions.

The intestine is considered to be the second brain and it is understood that the seat of our immunity lies here. The intake of nutrients and micro-nutrients is essential for correct physical and psychological functioning. Various studies have highlighted the important role of microbiota/microbiome and probiotics on stimulating the immune system.

In practice, a micro-nutrition consultation requires a thorough history and clinical examination by the doctor, a questionnaire completed by the patient revealing all symptoms (digestive, immune status, psychological state) and a full disclosure of the patients eating habits.

 

Based on these facts the doctor will offer a personalized biological and micro nutritional assessment. When all the elements are collated, an adaptation of a diet will be proposed. Probiotics and dietary supplements may also be prescribed and after a few weeks there will be a re-evaluate of the clinical condition and if necessary, the treatment adapted.
