Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional therapy is a scientific, evidence-based, holistic and individual therapy which aims to optimise health and wellbeing by encouraging the body's natural ability to heal. The therapy recognises that all individuals are biochemically unique and good health depends on a number of factors including genetically inherited weaknesses, diet, lifestyle and environment.
Nutritional therapy can help to address the underlying causes of a health issue, by identifying possible imbalances and assessing how these may contribute to the symptoms. It takes into account the whole person - the emotional state as well as the physical - and aims to achieve balance and well-being. Clients are asked to provide information about their medical history, pattern of symptoms, typical diet and lifestyle. A nutritional therapist will create an optimal nutritional program for an individual using diet, lifestyle and targeted supplements where appropriate.
It can take time for the body to respond and to come back into balance. Typical priorities are: dietary and lifestyle changes that support energy levels, healthy blood sugar balance, emotional wellbeing, optimum digestive health and tolerance to a wide spectrum of foods.
Nutritional therapy does not take the place of medical advice and does not involve the diagnosis of any diseases, nor does it claim to treat or cure medical conditions. Any client with 'red flag' signs or symptoms will always be referred to their doctor. We frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client's care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.
