Nutritional Therapy aims to bring a sense of balance back to the body in order to enable optimal function. It is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach, but rather is tailored to suit individual needs offering a holistic viewpoint recognising how each one of us may have different underlying factors feeding into our main health concerns.
Guided by the principles of Functional Medicine, nutritional therapy recognises the significance of the ‘test, don’t guess’ principle and offers an array of valuable diagnostic laboratory tests that may not be offered by traditional practises. These tests can be useful in revealing underlying issues that may be feeding into a pattern of ill-health, and a powerful way to effect meaningful change.
Nutritional Therapy uses foods and nutrients in order to address deficiencies and blocked pathways to good health. There is an emphasis on foods rather than relying on supplements, but in certain cases, short courses of specific supplements may be warranted to boost results.
Nutritional Therapy makes no claim to cure disease, but rather eliminates negative health patterns that can hinder optimal health.
