Nutritional Therapy is an evidence-based approach to maximized one’s health potential though individually formulated nutritional and lifestyle changes.
It promotes the benefits of good, wholesome unprocessed foods for optimal well being, as well as the therapeutic effects of particular foods for specific health conditions.
Nutritional Therapy treats the body as a whole while seeking the root source of health concerns, rather than simply treating the symptoms.
It works on the basis that we are each individual in our make-up and therefore, ‘one size fits all’ models of eating (often based on outdated research) simply don’t work well for a lot of people.
As part of the consultation process, we will go through your medical history and assess current health status. Your personal health symptoms, needs and goals will be discussed and a personalised nutrition plan will be devised on this basis.
Nutritional Therapy focuses on natural unprocessed whole foods which heal the body and boost overall health. We will work with you to devise a meal plan that is nutritionally balanced, practical, enjoyable and sustainable. If any foods need to be reduced or eliminated for a period of time, viable alternatives will be suggested that will maintain nutritional needs.
If necessary, you may also be prescribe natural supplements in safe doses e.g. probiotics, vitamins & minerals to help alleviate certain symptoms and optimise nutritional status. However, natural foods are always the first line of treatment.
Nutritional Therapy is not intended to replace conventional medicines but to compliment them. If necessary, dietary changes can be made under the supervision of a Medical Doctor.
