What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy uses diet to correct deficiencies and excesses that contribute to most chronic illnesses of the 21st century. What you eat everyday has either a positive or negative impact on your body. Most chronic illnesses can be attributed to poor nutrition and lifestyle. Nutritional Therapy uses the latest research in nutritional and health science and applies it to your specific needs to promote healing, manage and prevent disease and restore health and vitality.

The Consultation

An initial consultation involves a 70-90 minute one on one session. During this time your presenting symptoms and current health issues are identified. Past medical history and genetic disposition is established and a detailed account of your current diet and lifestyle is examined. With this information, I can clearly show you how you can improve your health status through improved nutrition and lifestyle changes. Taking into account your personal likes and dislikes, cooking ability, time and financial restraints, a tailored nutritional programme is created specifically for your recovery using a realistic strategy for improving your health.

Is Nutritional Therapy for me?

Below are some of the solutions Nutritional Therapy can offer you:

Restoring Health Through Food - Nutritional Therapy for specific conditions
(70-90mins)
Chronic disorders, poor energy, digestive problems, problem skin, mood disorders, arthritis, heart conditions, mood disorders etc can be alleviated by correct nutrition.   Discover what nutrients you need to restore your health and what foods are best for your recovery.   From the initial consultation you will receive easy to follow recommendations for your recovery with meal planning and recipe suggestions, supplementation programme (if necessary) and the motivation & know-how to make healthy choices.

Follow up consultations (30-45 mins)
3-6 weeks after initial consultation, a follow up consultation is normally required to monitor progress and to revise programme according to your   changing needs.  

Weight Management Programme   (70-90mins)            
Initial consultation & assessment
An initial consultation will examine all the factors - past medical history, family history, body functioning, current diet & lifestyle that may have contributed to your weight problems. Using the latest technology equipment in Body Composition Analysis, a non-invasive scan of your body is carried out. This assessment will give you an accurate analysis of the composition of your body including:

Total body weight, fat mass, muscle mass, bone mass, hydration levels, basal metabolic rate, calorific needs, metabolic age, BMI and visceral fat levels to determine current health status as well as the level of risk for chronic illnesses associated with excess weight.

Based on this information a nutritional programme tailored for you to successfully reach your target weight is devised. It is recommended that you attend the clinic every 2 weeks to track body fat loss and revise nutritional programme when required.   A maintenance plan is available once ideal weight is reached to ensure you remain healthy and full of energy.

Fortnightly weigh-in & assessment   (15mins)   

Food Intolerance Testing   (45mins)  
Food Intolerances are unpleasant reactions to foods. In some people these reactions can cause distressing symptoms and ill-health such as bloating after meals, tiredness all the time, difficulty sleeping, itchy skin (eczema), poor weight control, headaches, poor digestion, feeling down or anxious and much more.   This food intolerance test uses a pin-prick blood sample to detect raised IgG antibodies which are produced by the body when there is a food intolerance. 46 of the most problematic everyday foods including gluten, wheat, cows milk, egg, yeast, fish, beans, nuts to name a few are tested for IgG reactions in your blood sample during this test.   Devised by the Cambridge Nutritional Science Laboratories (UK) this test offers accurate and reliable results delivered to you within 24 hours of testing.   Once a trigger food has been identified you can simply change your diet and relieve the unpleasant symptoms that you may have been suffering for years.

Nutritional Therapy plus Food Intolerance Testing   (90mins)         
This package includes a full Nutritional Therapy consultation plus the Food Intolerance Testing.   This is ideal for those who have been suffering from a suspected food intolerance for a long time and as a result may have more health problems associated with poor digestion and   deficiencies that often accompany food intolerances.   After initial consultation and testing you will receive a comprehensive programme for recovery recommending nutrients and foods to restore your health & vitality.   This will include:

Follow up consultations normally necessary, 3-6 week after initial consultation  
(30-45mins)
