Nutritional Therapy
A Personalised Diet and Lifestyle Plan Designed for You
In an ideal world, we would get all the nutrients we need from a balanced diet. However, the reality of 21st Century living is far removed from this ideal. The stresses of modern life can be unsupportive of a healthy lifestyle.
A fast-paced environment can make it easy to neglect our bodies through unhelpful dietary choices. Additionally, pollution, personal stress, and exposure to household toxins and unhealthy stimulants could contribute to many chronic health problems.
In recent times we have witnessed a steady increase in chronic disease and sickness. Chronic illnesses have now reached almost epidemic proportions with 1 in 3 of the population currently predicted to develop cancer. Digestive health has become a common concern, and autoimmunity is at an all-time high. Yet ill health can only exist in a body that is out of balance.
You are Unique
Appropriate diet is fundamental to health – it is the cornerstone to a well-functioning mind and body. It is no surprise then that dietary change can be the catalyst to help restore balance and improve your health. From simple diet and lifestyle alterations, to a complete dietary overhaul, the application of a Functional Medicine approach in Nutritional Therapy could provide a life-changing solution to your current health problems.
Modern eating habits often include the consumption of nutrient-depleted and highly processed foods. However, it's not just processed foods that can contribute to health concerns. Seemingly healthy foods can also present issues for some individuals, often leading to confusion and despair. The Functional Medicine model has shown that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach does not suit everybody. Each individual is unique and, as such, will have unique dietary needs. Personalised Nutrition offers the individual a bespoke approach tailored to their specific requirements. Functional Testing can offer insight into a person's biochemical 'make-up' and can guide the practitioner to make client-specific recommendations designed to successfully restore balance and wellness.
“Take a moment to appreciate your body - or take a lifetime. There is no greater miracle in nature. Its complexities fill libraries, and still there's more to be discovered. Just as the universe contains millions of bodies, your body contains millions of universes - you are made of the same stuff as stars.”
