Nutritional Therapy
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” (Hippocrates)
The food we eat and the way we eat it has a major influence on how good we feel and how well our bodies function. When we are suffering in any way, there’s a chance that we are not giving our body what it needs to function well. If you are looking for answers to your health issues, it may be that Nutritional Therapy can provide those answers.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it is possible that Nutritional Therapy would be beneficial for you.
bloating
belching
reflux
fatigue
pain
disturbed sleep
skin issues
irritable bowel
issues with weight gain or loss
irritability
auto-immune disease
depression
During your sessions, we will review food choices, assess symptoms, and if required, conduct functional clinical assessments of the body to determine where imbalances in both nutrient intake and body function may exist. From this information, we are able to make recommendations that can turn your health around.
Recommendations are based on the knowledge that the body has a profound ability to heal itself, if we provide it with the right building blocks. We aim to remove the stress that is contributing to dysfunction in the body, and give the body the help it needs to heal by focussing on these foundations of health:
nutrient dense whole foods prepared in a way that nourishes us in an optimal way;
an appropriate balance of nutrients, including adequate hydration, good fats, and balanced intake of minerals;
digestive function - because you can be eating the best foods in the world but if your digestive function is imbalanced then you won’t be getting the appropriate nutrition from those foods; and
blood sugar balance, which can be affected not only by the food you eat but by the stress you are carrying.
Other considerations addressed include lifestyle factors such as stress and emotional wellness. The benefit of combining Nutritional Therapy with Kinesiology is that if we find that your nutritional wellbeing has been influenced by these factors, we can address them using Kinesiology!
We recognise that everyone is an individual - there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to health and wellbeing. This is the beauty of nutritional therapy, we honour your bio-individuality and find the right solutions for you.
