Integrative Health: Nutrition Services

Nutrition plays a central role in your health. It’s also a key part of our wellness philosophy at the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute.

To function properly, our bodies need the right amount and right types of foods and nutrients. Energy levels, appetite, strength, sleep quality and mood all rely on balanced nutrition. Even small nutrient deficiencies or imbalances can impact how our bodies perform.

At the Samueli Institute, we believe that food is medicine. It has the ability to prevent, treat and cure many chronic illnesses. Food delivers energy and tells our body how to function at a cellular level. It also connects us to our social environment, and these relationships improve our overall well-being.

To make an appointment, call the Samueli Institute at 949-824-7000.
