Individualized Nutrition Programs
A fundamental principle of many ancient medicine systems was that each person's constitution is unique. In practice, this means that dietary and lifestyle recommendations need to be tailored to the individual. Sandeep Gupta uses the ancient science of Ayurveda and the modern system of metabolic typing to formulate a unique individual diet and lifestyle plan for each client.

Injectable Nutrient Therapy
For those suffering from diseases of the gut, and general cellular dysfunction, absorbing nutrients into your blood-stream can be extremely difficult. This is where nutrients given directly into the bloodstream can be extremely helpful. For those with severe viral infections and post-viral fatigue, intravenous vitamin C in particular can be dramatically effective. In other instances, injectable B vitamins, Zinc or other trace minerals can provide much-needed nutritional support.
Chronic Fatigue Management
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is the hallmark of a 'functional' disorder. Usually very little in the way of pathological changes can be found. Functional disturbance in a number of bodily systems is believed to be responsible in the majority of cases, and is supported by the medical literature.
Dr Gupta uses the Teitelbaum protocol for treating Chronic Fatigue, which focuses on the following areas:
Sleep Optimization
Hormone Balancing
Infection Control
Nutritional Support
Exercise / environment

In addition, identifying the client's metabolic state through the Metabolic Typing program is recommended for all clients with chronic fatigue.
Depression & Anxiety Management
Depression and anxiety can in many cases be considered to be 'functional' disorders, and again are often multi-faceted in their cause.
Sandeep Gupta uses the following protocol for managing depressive disorders and anxiety:
• Stabilize blood sugar (low GI diet)
• Help to identify and release emotional blocks
• Identify and balance neurotransmitter imbalances
• Provide essential fatty acids
• Optimize sleep and lifestyle routine
Again, it is recommended that all clients suffering from depression or anxiety go through the Metabolic Typing program and obtain an individualized nutrition plan.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is another functional disorder treated reguarly by Dr Gupta.
His protocol involves:
• Identify parasite infection, including Blastocystic Hominis and Entamoeba Fragilis (specialized PCR testing via Metametrics lab in USA)
• Treat parasite infection if present (using the Centre for Digestive Diseases Protocol)
• Restore normal bowel flora
• Treat bacterial overgrowth
• Optimize diet and lifestyle
All clients with IBS are encouraged to have a stool PCR test with Metametrix (website)
Hormone Balancing
Hormone balancing is provided using herbal medicine, nutritional support and bio-identical hormones when necessary.
Many studies have demonstrated the importance of having correct hormone balance, for instance:
• DHEA (an adrenal hormone) in depression
• Cortisol levels (the main stress hormone in the body) in chronic fatigue syndrome, depression or anxiety
• Progesterone (a female sex hormone) in premenstrual syndrome
