NUTRITIONAL THERAPY

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapy is an evidence-based, holistic approach to optimising and supporting health through personalised nutrition and lifestyle changes. Using a wide range of tools, nutritional therapists assess and identify underlying factors contributing to health concerns. It works on the basis that we are each unique, therefore diet and lifestyle advice is tailored to individual health needs, rather than ‘one size fits all’ models of eating. It focuses on natural unprocessed whole foods, as well as the therapeutic effects of specific foods for particular health concerns.

Nutritional Therapy can be used on its own or alongside mainstream medical care and other complementary healthcare therapies.

Why Nutritional Therapy?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutritional advice in the media? 

Have you done a lot of your own research, tried different ways of eating, various pills for an ill, but still haven’t seen any real improvement?  

Nutritional therapy may help if you want to:

  • support overall health and wellbeing
  • improve energy levels
  • manage weight
  • support digestive health
  • or take a natural approach to chronic health concerns

What areas of health can nutritional therapy support?

Nutritional therapy can support areas such as

  • digestive health
  • musculoskeletal health (bone, joint and muscle health) 
  • hormonal health
  • brain health (cognitive function and mood)
  • immune and inflammatory balance
  • energy and vitality
  • skin health

I work with clients who are interested in using nutrition and lifestyle to support long-term health, particularly in relation to healthy ageing and the prevention and management of chronic health conditions.   See Areas of Interest.

What to expect from Nutritional Therapy

Personalised nutrition is tailored specifically for you, taking into account your health journey, your health goals and dietary preferences. Laboratory testing may be suggested as part of a strategy to assess factors that may be influencing your health.  Supplements may be recommended to support nutritional status or address specific symptoms. 

Is Nutritional Therapy right for you?

Nutritional therapy can enable you to take charge of your health, bringing about life-changing and long-term benefits, but it is not a quick fix . It requires a willingness to participate actively in embracing and following the recommendations.

In my clinical experience, those motivated to make changes see the best results quickly. However, if change feels overwhelming it is of course possible to make changes incrementally and even small adjustments can quickly lead to improvement.

It is my job to motivate you, which I do by understanding your individual needs, setting achievable and realistic goals, and empowering you through knowledge.
