Welcome to Nutrition4Life
Nutrition 4 Life is based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Nutrition 4 Life offers quality Nutritional Advice specifically designed to meet your needs as an individual.
Nutrition 4 Life was established by Alyson Carter to offer nutritional and healthy eating advice to clients to help alleviate any health problems they may be experiencing.
Having discovered the ‘power of food’, Alyson then trained to become a Nutritional Therapist and now treats clients with a variety of health concerns – Irritable bowel, PMT, low energy and weight loss being the most common. She also has a particular interest in children’s health, seeing many young clients with obesity and ‘learning problems’.
What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a complementary therapy which uses foods and supplements (vitamins and minerals) to encourage the body’s natural healing. The aim is to detoxify the body, correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies, restore healthy digestion and help the client to develop a positive mental attitude.
Nutritional Therapists believe that many health problems are caused or aggravated by nutritional deficiencies. Deficiencies are not always caused by poor diet but may also be due to infections preventing effective absorption of nutrients in the body, allergies or excess toxins in the body.
By reviewing client’s symptoms and examining their family history and eating habits, a Nutritional Therapist can determine what elements may be missing from the diet. They then provide an individual diet and supplement plan specifically designed to overcome their health issues. This is done through a face to face consultation with the client.
Nutritional Consultation
Before the consultation the client will be asked to fill in a questionnaire, providing details of diet, symptoms, health history and lifestyle, in order for an initial assessment of potential issues to be made. A food diary outlining all food and drink consumed over a 7 day period will also be completed by the client and both of these documents will be sent to the therapist before the actual consultation. During the consultation, further information will be gathered, and the therapist will outline some of possible factors likely to be influencing the health problems and will explain how Nutritional Therapy may be able to help.
A full report of the discussions complete with action plan will then be forwarded to the client within a couple of working days.
At the initial consultation, a follow up appointment is made for 3-4 weeks later when the actions will be reviewed in view of the progress made by the client.
Further recommendations will then be made, to be reviewed at a further follow up appointment within another 3-4 weeks. Long term strategies may also be discussed at this meeting.
