Good nutrition is the foundation of optimum health. Assisting weight loss is an obvious use for Nutritional Therapy but conditions as diverse as digestive disorders, infertility, eczema and psoriasis, sinusitis and many more can all arise as a result of nutritional imbalances and can be helped by Nutritional Therapy.

Nutritional Therapy is based on the principle that we are all biochemically individual, therefore we have different nutritional needs depending on our genes, diet, lifestyle and environment. Each nutritional programme is tailored to the client with general well being and optimal health being the ultimate goal.

Perhaps a client has a history of persistent coughs and colds, or headaches and migraines that simply don’t respond to conventional treatment. A nutritional therapist will identify any imbalances in our systems (for instance, the hormonal imbalances associated with menopause or endometriosis) by taking a detailed case history and using various diagnostic techniques and tests (for example, allergy testing) where appropriate. From this information the therapist can improve your body’s efficiency through diet, supplements and herbs enabling you to address your health concerns in a way that is natural and specific to you.
