Getting well through nutrition

Even as a 15-year old girl, I took great interest in nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Although I followed current nutritionional recommendations, I became sick,while others did not. Fortunately I met doctors,who already knew at that time,that truly reliable recommendations can only be made on an induvidual basis. This experience influenced me as a doctor so that I attempt to give every patient,who is interested in nutritional counselling,an individualized nutritional plan. I consider not only the physical aspect of the body,but also the spiritual. there are no dogmatic rules or restrictions. Experience shows that long-term success can be best achieved through small steps,since the psyche can better tolerate the changes.

Diets that are tied up with restrictions are less effective than a balanced, healthy change in eating habits.
