What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine in the promotion of good health and wellbeing. It is a whole-body approach that identifies the root causes contributing to an individual’s health concerns rather than focusing on their symptoms.

A detailed health history investigates potential nutritional imbalances, along with functional testing when required, to formulate a personalised nutrition plan, taking into consideration an individual’s health journey, symptoms, family history, goals, and dietary preferences/requirements.

It is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions such as persistent digestive issues, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, mental health, food allergies and intolerances plus many more, as well as those looking to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Nutritional therapy is recognised as complimentary and not as an alternative to conventional medicine, with referrals made to a medical professional when necessary. Referrals can also be made to other practitioners such as counsellors, chiropractors, osteopaths, herbalists, acupuncturists, health coaches, personal trainers etc to ensure optimal health is achieved for the client.
