Diet is a bit like treatments ask different people and you will get different recommendations.
My suggestion is read and discuss widely and come to your own decision. I have often seen diets for me that miss the point. Some have their own quirks.
If you can afford a nutritionist great, but still do some background reading and come to your own decisions based on all information and questions.
I think it is important to attend to diet as a basic and supplements come second. A wide variety is essential.
There should be some books in your local library.
Three I found interesting are
Cracking the Metabolic Code - James B La Valle
Dr Gaynor's Cancer Prevention Program.
The Zone Inflamation diet (or something like that by the author of the zone).
I am concerned about pesticides but my view is first and foremost get a wide selection and plenty of green and coloured veg. IF you can afford organic so much the better but I for one generally find it too expensive, and locally lacking in variety for the quantities I consume.
I would put balancing the omega threes and sixes, and getting plently of veg and beans (fibre, flavanoids, the wealth of compunds in plants) WAY ABOVE pesticide concerns in the diet "to do" list.
I would rather NOT have harmful pesticides but would not reduce my veg intake for fear of them if I could not afford organic.
