Biochemical Imbalances in Disease ─ A Practitioner's Handbook

Biochemical imbalances caused by nutritional deficiencies are a contributory factor in many of today's most common chronic health problems. This handbook for practitioners consolidates all of the latest information on how to identify, diagnose and nutritionally modify such imbalances in order to help patients better understand and manage their health.

Groundbreaking in its scope and in the quality of its research, the book covers a wide range of biochemical imbalances, including compromised adrenal or thyroid function, gastro-intestinal imbalances, dysregulation of the immune system and sex hormone imbalances

Developed by leading researchers, educators and clinicians in the fields of functional medicine and nutrition, Biochemical Imbalances in Disease is an essential resource for nutrition practitioners and students. It will also be a useful reference for conventional and non-conventional practitioners who are interested in working with nutrition practitioners to deliver more integrated services.
