Treatment Info
Nutritional Therapy is the promotion of health and wellbeing through personalised nutrition and lifestyle modifications. It is a whole-body approach that addresses the potential underlying causes of ill-health.
Evidence-based, it involves a wide range of tools which are used to assess individual health status and identify potential nutritional imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms. The focus is always on the individual client.
Many chronic conditions, as well as day-to-day fluctuations in health and wellbeing, can be linked to individual nutrition and lifestyle. Quite often, people see stark improvements in their health when they implement changes to their diet.
Nutritional therapists are fully qualified practitioners who work with individuals on a one-to-one basis to support health and wellbeing. Their advice is always personalised to the individual, rather a one-size-fits-all approach. They take into account your health journey, health goals and dietary preferences. After all, what works for one person may not work for another.
