Nutritional Therapy consultation
 |
We’ve all heard the phrase “You are what you eat” and this is clearly true - every cell of your body is made from what you eat, drink and breathe in. Nutritional therapy is about finding out what your nutritional needs are, either to achieve peak performance or to heal an illness caused, partially or wholly, by nutritional imbalance and then to devise a set of adjustments to diet and lifestyle in order to achieve the required nutritional input. |
A consultation with me is a lot longer than you typically spend with a GP because I take the time to fully analyze your medical history, your current diet, your lifestyle and your genes in order to uncover the underlying causes of an illness or a problem. I don't just treat the symptoms. In some cases diagnostic tests are employed to reveal what's really going on inside your body.
The nutritional programme that I will devise for you will usually contain, at its core, changes to the diet. Some people expect to be told to stop eating everything they like and to spend the rest of their lives eating nuts, seeds and houmous. This is not the case at all - trust me! We have a very important rule in nutritional therapy. It's called the 80:20 rule: if you eat healthily 80% of the time then you can indulge yourself the other 20%. You just have to make sure you get the 80:20 the right way round!
