Nutrition has a significant impact on your health and well-being. Despite including a tremendous amount of calories, the standard American diet is woefully nutrient-deficient, which contributes to the obesity epidemic as well as a wide range of health issues. For over a decade, Targeted Medical Nutrition and Physician Therapeutics, based in the Beverly Glen area of Los Angeles, California, has developed and distributed medical foods rich in amino acids and other nutrients necessary to manage chronic health conditions. Disease can change the way the human body metabolizes nutrients, which interferes with optimal body function from the nervous system to digestion. Targeted Medical Nutrition aims to help patients optimize their health and manage chronic disease with carefully designed medical food products. They incorporate specific amino acids and nutrients into products designed to help with pain management, sleep disorders, obesity, hypertension, fatigue, and cognitive disorders. Additionally, enhanced nutrition improves overall body function and health, providing a holistic approach to wellness.  Targeted Medical Nutrition operates on five guiding principles: integrity, innovation, responsibility, leadership, and determination. Their mission is to improve the treatment options available to people who are trying to manage chronic health problems and stay healthy.
