Nutritional Therapy
Aims to improve health, prevent illness and manage health conditions via diet and lifestyle.
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, widely regarded as the father of western medicine is often quoted . . .
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food
Nutritional therapy involves expanded consultation and deep dive into a client’s health via dietary and lifestyle habits and medical history. This informs a protocol/plan to optimise health and well-being.
A functional medicine and naturopathic approach involves identifying and addressing potential cause of illness. It recognises that bodily systems are inter-linked and that we have a proven potential to heal and re-generate with correct nutrition and detoxification.
Hydrotherapy, dry brushing, exercise, EMF/environmental toxin reduction, sleep hygiene, nature, meditation, Yoga, and social experience are wider aspects of the naturopathic prescription.
Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques of physiological observation can also be used to assess imbalances in nutrition and lifestyle.
In any state of wellness or illness, nutritional therapy encourages appropriate cell-to-cell communication and works to optimise health. It facilitates absorption, assimilation and elimination of nutrients and supports toxin detoxification.
