Personalized Nutrition

Nutrition advice is often confusing and conflicting because it attempts to apply to the general population. But with all the unique factors that make up an individual – genes, culture, preferences, environment, etc. – it’s impossible to give a one-size-fits-all approach. Personalized nutrition means tailoring your diet to support your body’s unique needs. Our nutritionist Stevi Pennypacker, M.S. and CNS Candidate, takes an in-depth look at every aspect of your life that could affect your health status – whether current or future. She identifies areas of deficiency or excess that disrupt normal function or predispose your body to disease and walks with you to make practical changes to optimize your body’s ability to restore balance. And above all, she strives to make it enjoyable.

Starting with Stevi: If you’re not feeling your best, and you would describe your symptoms as chronic, or more gradual over time, Lang Family Medicine may suggest starting with diet and lifestyle as a powerful way to address the underlying imbalances. Through a comprehensive analysis of your food intake and daily habits, she may identify need for dietary or behavior changes, supplements, or lab testing to dig deeper. Stevi is trained to identify when a more serious pathology may be present and will refer you to one of LFM’s doctors for a closer look if needed.

Existing Lang Family Medicine Patients: Adding personalized nutrition to your existing care plan or as a place to start to is the perfect way to get the hands-on support you need to help your body heal from the inside out and learn to maintain a high quality of life for years to come. Stevi will collaborate with your physician to ensure consistent care.
