Nutrition Q&A

What is nutrition?

Your nutrition consists of the nutrients you feed yourself to nourish your body. You rely on the foods you eat to satiate you and supply your body with vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants it needs to function.

If your diet is imbalanced and doesn’t include the many nutrients you need to survive, various health conditions can arise. You also feel worse altogether, experiencing symptoms like fatigue, anemia, and mood problems. 

At STL Medical Weight Loss, Dr. Moleski reviews your current diet and lifestyle. You receive self-guided education on nutrition and what constitutes a healthy diet. Dr. Moleski can help you make the necessary adjustments, so you know you’re meeting your body’s dietary requirements. 

How does good nutrition improve my health?

A poor diet can look many different ways. You might eat too much saturated or trans fats or processed food. In any case, a non-nutritious diet can harm your health and wellness. It can contribute to specific health conditions or worsen existing conditions. 

When you follow a healthy diet complete with the nutrients your body needs most, you minimize your body weight and the amount of plaque that builds up inside your veins and arteries. Good nutrition can lower your risk of:

  • Heart disease
  • Prediabetes and insulin resistance
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • High cholesterol
  • Hypertension
  • High triglycerides
  • Certain cancers

If you have any dietary restrictions or conditions that prevent you from getting all of the nutrition you need from your diet, Dr. Moleski might recommend nutritional supplements within your personalized care plan. 

Which other services can help me reach my wellness goals?

Developing a nutritious diet is just one of the steps you may need to take to optimize your health and wellness. At STL Medical Weight Loss, Dr. Moleski recommends a holistic care plan regardless of your goals. 

Whether you want to lose weight, lower your health risks, or manage a chronic condition like diabetes, STL Medical Weight Loss offers these other beneficial suggestions for your wellness goals:

  • Regular exercise
  • Consistent sleep
  • Minimizing stress
  • Injectable prescription medications (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide)

Alongside your nutrition recommendations, Dr. Moleski offers suggestions and strategies to help you improve your overall health and longevity.
