Nutritional Therapy
What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a natural approach to health, which uses dietary changes and sometimes nutrient supplementation, along with advice on healthier lifestyle choices, to enable individuals to improve their health, prevent disease or help manage more serious conditions. It is a therapy based on scientific medical research, which utilises the latest developments in nutritional medicine. Every person is unique and nutritional therapy addresses what your body really needs in terms of food and nutrients.
What to expect at your consultation
When you book for your first consultation you will be sent a questionnaire and food diary to complete and send back to the clinic. The initial consultation takes about an hour and you will be asked about your current symptoms, your medical and family history and your current diet and lifestyle.
Afterwards you will be given a comprehensive report including a nutritional diagnosis and a personalised diet, supplement and lifestyle plan.
Follow up consultations are sometimes required (every 4 to 6 weeks) to monitor your progress and update your treatment plan according to your symptom changes.
