Dr. Maile Pouls

Ph.D. Nutrition.

She is a clinical nutritionist, health educator, and co-founder of the Health Enhancement Center, owner of Global Nutriceuticals and formulator and manufacturer of custom dietary formulas. Her nutritional practice currently serves thousands of patients worldwide. She developed personalized nutritional programs using enzyme therapy and a wide variety of nutrients to optimize body chemistry. As a nutritionist, she maintains a large inventory of nutrients utilizing 68 different enzyme formulas and over 2500 therapeutic vitamin, mineral, herb formulas and nutritional supplements from over 300 different health companies. Her clinical experience has allowed her to gain the knowledge to understand the unique combinations of nutrients for specific health conditions.

Over the past fifteen years, she has been using a 24-hour urinalysis, blood panels, stool & saliva analysis, physical exams, extensive symptomatology charts, nutritional and supplemental diaries to evaluate my patients' digestive and biochemical deficiencies and needs. She worked with most of her patients between four to six months. In this time, we do periodic re-evaluations to monitor progress and adjust protocol. Her training has been expanded to include chemistry balancing, enzyme therapy, diet and nutritional planning, cellular, liver and colon detoxification, addictions, allergies, candida therapies, athletic, weight and obesity management, and alternative solutions to household and environmental toxins.
