What is Nutritional Medicine?

5 Elements

Wholistic Nutritional Therapy is a structural therapy; originating from both Naturopathy and science-based nutrition.

The central idea behind nutritional therapy is that poor diet is one of the major causes of disease. Modern lifestyles encourage us to eat foods which are deficient in essential nutrients, and which also contribute to toxicity and imbalance within our bodies.

Nutritional Therapy is ideally suited to the treatment of chronic disease, and its effects when patient co-operation is 100% can be dramatic and complete reversal of illness is often possible.

  What will I do?

My aim is to achieve and maintain health and well-being.

How?

As a registered Nutritional Medicine Practitioner I will:

  Assess...

biological imbalances; including vitamin and mineral deficiencies, food sensitivities, hormonal irregularities, and underlying parasitic and fungal infections.

  Address...

the underlying causes leading to loss of energy, water retention, weight gain, headaches, migraines, joint pain, depression,  infertility,  and bowel disturbances.

  Boost...

energy levels, and increase ability to cope with stress and infection.

  Slow...

the ageing process,  and progression of chronic degenerative diseases.

  Recommend...

dietary and lifestyle changes, and prescribe nutritional supplements if appropriate.

The Process

A one-to-one consultation between the client and myself.

The first consultation may take up to an hour and a half; during which I will collect details of health problems,  medical and family histories, plus diet and lifestyle factors. I may ask the client may to provide details of foods consumed in the 3 days prior to the consultation, and to seek medical advice to eliminate underlying disease

A nutritional assessment is then made, and changes to diet and lifestyle may be recommended; often supported by nutritional supplements appropriate to individual needs.

Follow up consultations may be advised to monitor progress and make adjustments.

Please note

Nutritional therapy is not the same as ‘dietetics’ which is practised in hospitals by dieticians. A dietician is a specialist in diet and dietary adjustment, but is not trained to clinically use nutrition and supplementation. They have not been trained in the use of diet strategies and nutritional supplements to optimise health and well-being based on individual assessment.

 

There are various forms of Nutritional therapy; the main differences are:

  • those who study and use nutrition from a purely scientific standpoint
  • those who study and use nutrition from a purely naturopathic and vitalistic standpoint and...
  • those who are trained to use both the scientific and the naturopathic elements.

I fall into the third category.
