Diet + Lifestyle

Making the right dietary and lifestyle choices is one of the most powerful things you can do to improve your health. At Sun Valley Natural Medicine, we believe food, movement, rest, and daily habits can either be the foundation of healing—or the root of dysfunction.

Our providers help you create a personalized diet and lifestyle plan that reflects your body’s needs, your health goals, and your current capacity. We combine modern nutritional science with time-tested lifestyle medicine to help you build long-lasting vitality.

Healing begins with how you live, move, and nourish yourself.

Nutritional + Lifestyle Strategies We Use

At Sun Valley Natural Medicine, we believe that nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. Our dietary recommendations are tailored to your unique needs, health history, and goals. We work with a variety of evidence-informed nutritional strategies, always prioritizing nutrient density, gut health, inflammation reduction, and long-term sustainability.

  • Foundational Anti-Inflammatory Diet: A whole-foods diet focused on reducing inflammatory triggers (e.g. sugar, processed oils, refined flours) while increasing phytonutrients, fiber, and healthy fats.

  • Elimination & Reintroduction Diets: Used to identify food sensitivities, support the gut, and reduce symptoms of autoimmune or allergic conditions.

  • Mediterranean-Style Diet: Rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, olive oil, and fish—this is one of the most researched diets for heart health, cognitive function, and longevity.

  • Low FODMAP / SIBO-Specific Diets: Used for bloating, IBS, and bacterial overgrowth. Always guided by testing and monitored to avoid long-term restriction.

  • Plant-Forward, Whole-Food, or Paleo-Inspired Approaches: We help customize nutrient-dense dietary templates to meet your ethical, cultural, or health needs—whether vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or ancestral.

  • Blood Sugar–Balancing Plans: Crucial for those with PCOS, diabetes, mood swings, or energy crashes. Focuses on protein, fiber, healthy fats, and carbohydrate quality.

  • Autoimmune Protocol (AIP): A powerful, nutrient-dense, elimination-style diet designed to help identify food triggers and reduce inflammation in autoimmune conditions.

  • Wahls Protocol: Developed by Dr. Terry Wahls, this structured dietary approach focuses on mitochondrial health and has been shown to benefit those with autoimmune and neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis.

True, lasting health is built on more than just what’s on your plate. At Sun Valley Natural Medicine, we take a whole-person view—recognizing that how you move, rest, breathe, and show up in daily life all contribute to your overall vitality.

  • Sleep hygiene: Restorative sleep is when your body heals, balances hormones, and regulates the nervous system. We help identify obstacles to restful sleep and create individualized plans to improve sleep quality and rhythm.

  • Daily movement: You don’t need to be a gym rat. Whether it’s walking, strength training, yoga, or stretching, regular movement supports cardiovascular health, mood, detoxification, and more.

  • Mindfulness + Stress Resilience: Chronic stress drives inflammation and disease. We explore simple, sustainable ways to support your nervous system—like breathwork, meditation, journaling, time in nature, and nervous system regulation tools.

  • Environmental Wellness: Your home, work, and outdoor environments matter. We help identify and reduce exposure to harmful toxins, endocrine disruptors, and mold, while promoting a clean and health-supportive space.

  • Community + Joy: Connection is medicine. From relationships to hobbies, joy and belonging are powerful components of wellness we help you reclaim and prioritize.
