Individual Nutritional therapy & Counselling

At Mahakala Center, we offer personalized nutrition counseling to address your unique needs. During the initial consultation, we will identify key areas to focus on for improving your nutrition and overall well-being.

Nutrition can play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of conditions such as:

  • Diabetes and metabolic disorders
  • Cardiovascular issues
  • Gut and stomach problems
  • Post-heart attack or stroke recovery
  • Weight management (under or overweight)
  • High blood pressure
  • Chronic fatigue

At Mahakala Center, we offer Medical Nutrition Therapy to support weight management, whether you’re looking to lose or gain weight. For weight loss, we combine nutritional therapy, acupuncture, and the Wingwave method, and we’ve seen the best results when using this holistic approach.

If you’re underweight, you may experience challenges such as fatigue and a weakened immune system. We begin by investigating the root causes of low weight, including checking for parasites in the bowel. From there, we create a personalized high-calorie diet plan and provide lifestyle recommendations to help restore balance and health.

 

At Mahakala Center, we offer specialized guidance for those following a vegan diet to ensure balanced nutrition. If you’re vegan, it’s important to monitor specific nutrients to maintain optimal health. Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your nutritional status through blood tests, followed by a personalized diet plan and recommendations for any necessary supplements to support your well-being.

At Mahakala Center, we provide guidance for individuals interested in the ketogenic diet, a very low-carb, high-fat approach that puts your body into a state of ketosis, where fat becomes the primary source of energy. This diet has proven beneficial for many, including Dr. Lemm, who has studied it extensively due to her personal experience with colitis. While the ketogenic diet can be highly effective, it should be medically monitored, especially during the initial stages. We support our patients through this process, offering personalized guidance and closely monitoring their progress.

At Mahakala Center, we offer guidance on fasting as a therapeutic practice to promote healing and vitality. Fasting helps stimulate autophagy, the body’s natural process of cleansing damaged cells to regenerate healthier ones. It can support the treatment of various conditions and boost overall energy. We provide personalized advice on the most suitable fasting approach for you and support you throughout the process.

At Mahakala Center, we offer specialized support for those struggling with eating disorders, which predominantly affect young women. Our approach combines nutritional counseling with psychological treatment, including techniques like hypnosis and EMDR, to address both the physical and emotional aspects of the disorder. By integrating psychological and nutritional care, we have seen positive outcomes, demonstrating that healing is not only possible but achievable with the right approach.
