WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL THERAPY?
Almost everyone has some form of chronic health problem – from dry skin, tiredness or constipation to insomnia, autoimmune disease or hypertension. But few people make the connection that the foods they eat, or don’t eat, may be exacerbating their condition.
Nutritional Therapy draws upon nutritional science to optimally nourish the body, restoring it to a balanced state of health. Rooted in Functional Medicine, Nutritional Therapy focuses on the origins, prevention and alleviation of chronic health concerns by considering the body as a unique whole where processes and symptoms are interconnected in a web-like way.
There is an ever-growing wealth of scientific research linking food and nutrient intake with health and disease. Making healthy food choices is more than eating your ‘five a day’ – it is about knowing what foods are right for you so that your body can function optimally.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Almost everyone can benefit from Nutritional Therapy because nutrition is an undeniably important part of our health – we all eat every day and the foods we choose will have a direct effect on our health and wellbeing.
Many people consult a Nutritional Therapist because they suffer from chronic health conditions, such as fatigue, bloating, PMS, low mood, constipation or skin problems, that conventional medicine has been unable to treat – they may find Nutritional Therapy helps to alleviate their symptoms.
Others consult a Nutritional Therapist to check their diet is right for them. This can change over time – for example, teenagers, stressed individuals, pregnant women, pre-menopausal women, exercise enthusiasts, post-menopausal women and children all have different nutritional needs.
Nutitional Therapy does not claim to treat or cure illnesses - but it does crucially consider the causes of health problems, many of which have diet and lifestyle origins.
