Our Services Will Transform Your Health

Inflammation is an immune system response that develops when your body defends itself against foreign invaders.

When viruses or bacteria enter your body, your immune system springs into action to destroy it. In response, your body creates inflammatory cells to fight against the threat and save your body.

While your body is intelligent and complex, it sometimes misinterprets an innocent substance, such as a particular food, as a harmful invader. When that happens, your immune system produces an inflammatory response against itself, which over time leads to pain, illness, and other health complications.

Dr. Feiwel specializes in diagnostic testing and treatment services to prevent chronic inflammation and the damage it can cause. She offers food sensitivity and chemical sensitivity testing to identify exactly what’s triggering your body’s inflammatory response.

You should schedule a diagnostic evaluation at the office of Nancy Feiwel, MD, if you experience persistent symptoms of inflammation such as:

• Body aches
• Persistent fatigue
• Weight imbalances
• Gastrointestinal dysfunction,      including stomach pain, gas, bloating, and diarrhea
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Inflammatory bowel disease

Chronic inflammation can also cause mood swings, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Dr. Feiwel reviews your medical history and uses your blood test results to design an eating plan to fight inflammation and improve your health 

The goals of your treatment plan are to reduce existing inflammation in your body and prevent new inflammation from developing. Dr. Feiwel goes beyond standard diets to improve your health and focuses on your nutritional needs to ensure your body has what it needs to function at peak capacity.

She will utilize a progressive, individualized plan to recommend which foods you should incorporate into your diet to boost your health and dramatically reduce inflammation. Food sensitivity testing guides the process for a successful outcome. Dr. Feiwel also customizes additional strategies to reduce your risk for chronic inflammation. She might recommend:

• Daily exercise
• Lifestyle changes
• Better sleep hygiene
• Stress management techniques

Under Dr. Feiwel’s guidance, you learn how to make lasting changes to your diet and lifestyle so that you can maintain optimal physical, mental, and emotional wellness.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is often the result of the foods we eat not agreeing with our body.

Your gastrointestinal tract involves many organs, including your esophagus, stomach, and intestines that process the foods you eat. Certain foods can cause inflammation in these organs that contribute to gastrointestinal upset and symptoms like boating, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome. 

Food sensitivities or intolerances cause inflammation. Over time the inflammation becomes chronic, leading to many gastrointestinal issues like bathroom emergencies due to diarrhea, stomach pain, and gas.

Other factors that may contribute to gastrointestinal dysfunction include:

• Stress
• Lack of exercise
• Eating a low fiber diet
• Use of certain medications

Untreated chronic inflammation can cause severe symptoms and lead to ongoing complications in your gastrointestinal tract.

You should schedule an evaluation at the office of Nancy Feiwel, MD, if you experience persistent or recurrent symptoms of gastrointestinal dysfunction. These symptoms can include:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Gas
• Bloating
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Heartburn and acid reflux

These symptoms are common reactions to food sensitivities, but determining which foods are causing the problem is impossible without an accurate food sensitivity test, which is Dr. Feiwel’s area of expertise.

During your evaluation with Dr. Feiwel, you can expect to discuss your symptoms, your lifestyle and diet, and your medical history.

Dr. Feiwel offers a blood test that identifies which foods are making you sick. This highly sensitive test pinpoints foods that produce an inflammatory reaction in your body to confirm food sensitivities or intolerances. She creates a diet based on the results of your blood test and your symptoms.

The goal of Dr. Feiwel’s lifestyle medicine services is to eliminate food irritants from your diet and introduce foods that fight inflammation. Stopping the cycle of inflammation can significantly resolve your gastrointestinal discomfort and prevent more serious complications.

Over several months, Dr. Feiwel helps you implement a progressive diet into your daily life to reduce inflammation and heal your body. This diet can also support a healthy weight, increase your energy levels, and reduce your risk for diseases caused by chronic inflammation.

Nutrition describes the essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you need to be healthy. Your body uses the nutrients you take in from your diet to create the energy you need to function.

Poor nutrition is a contributing factor to many acute and chronic illnesses, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure (hypertension).

As a nutrition specialist, Dr. Feiwel provides comprehensive nutritional counseling services to improve your overall health and ensure your body has what it needs to thrive. She takes a personalized approach to create a nutritional diet plan that meets your needs and helps you achieve your wellness goals.

You should schedule a nutrition counseling consultation at the office of Nancy Feiwel, MD, if you’re looking to enhance your health and make lasting changes to your diet. Because conventional diets don’t work for everyone, Dr. Feiwel takes a personalized approach to creating a food plan that meets your individual health needs.

You can also benefit from the available nutrition services if you have underlying health conditions that cause:

• Gas
• Bloating
• Cramping
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Persistent fatigue

Instead of traditional medications, Dr. Feiwel uses food as medicine for a range of underlying medical conditions including inflammatory bowel diseases that affect gastrointestinal health.

During your initial nutrition counseling appointment, Dr. Feiwel spends time reviewing your medical history and discussing your lifestyle habits and diet.

Dr. Feiwel combines conventional medical training with laboratory-guided nutritional recommendations to improve your body’s health and function. She will have you complete a blood test to determine your food and chemical sensitivities. 

These highly sensitive tests identify foods that trigger an inflammatory response in your body. Persistent inflammation is often the contributing factor to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which often presents with symptoms like gas, bloating, and acid reflux. In addition, nutrient absorption is negatively affected when the gut is chronically inflamed.  

Many people experience improvements in their health that they couldn’t achieve with medications. Dr. Feiwel works closely with you to create a nutrient-rich diet plan you can incorporate into your daily life. Over the course of several months, Dr. Feiwel monitors your progress with nutritional counseling to ensure you’re living a healthy, active, pain-free life.
