Center for Nutritional Medicine Philosophy

"I believe in treating chronic conditions without the use of pharmaceuticals". Susan Blum, MD

We Are Devoted To Educating The Patient . . .

. . . By Integrating Traditional, Complimentary and Alternative Medicine

Our office is devoted to educating you about your body, how it works and how to heal it.

Our intention is to create a healing partnership where we will work together to realize your personal health goals.

Whether you are seeking help for a chronic medical condition, or wish to optimize your health in any way, our practice offers unique medical services that are patient-centered, and that integrate both traditional and complementary medicine.

You Receive A Personalized Treatment Plan Using Our Holistic Approach to Medicine

You will never feel rushed or hurried in our office, and will always leave with a treatment plan that you completely understand and that you feel you can implement at home.

We will give you the tools to lead a vibrant, healthy and creative life. We will get to know you and help you reach your health goals. Each person we see is unique with different biochemistry, genetics, and environmental influences, and we treat you that way.

Our philosophy is also about forming partnerships with our patients, and we will encourage you to take care of yourself and to make your own choices with the knowledge and tools we give you.

We don't "fix" people. Rather, we form one half of a team working toward the health goals each person sets for themselves.

We Provide Medical Coaching & Guidance

We provide medical coaching and guidance, including diagnostic and treatment options, and together we make decisions about the best path forward.

We are your personal medical coach, but ultimately the decisions are yours.

We meet with each patient to uncover the truth about their health, and in a non-judgemental way, encourage them to move forward and make the decisions that will create health and vitality in their lives. To really help people change their health habits and to reach their health goals, both patient and Doctor must be in it together for the long run.

Life-Style Changes & Targeted Supplementation Are Key

Life-style and nutritional changes, including the use of targeted supplementation, have the potential to heal most medical conditions, but this does not happen overnight.

Our programs will support and help you for as long as it takes to reach your health goals.

Holistic Approach to Medicine Versus Traditional Medical Practice

Traditional medical practices suffer from two ciritical problems:

• Doctors offices have become assembly lines that all too often exist to only address a specific pain or illness. Over time, you have the increased burden of managing a variety of specialists that each offer their own limited solution. You are left to make sense of it all.
• None of your doctors speak to each other or spend enough time with you to move past the current symptom and focus on your needs as a whole individual so you can live a full and healthy life.

Patients need a new approach, a solution where time is dedicated to understanding you as a patient and a person. You need a place where the people responsible for helping you work together and coordinate your medical care so that you can enjoy the type of healthy life you have a right to. We see our job as doctors, nutritionists, dieticians, coaches, educators and confidants working together to empower our patients. That is what we are about. That is what makes our results so powerful for our patients.
