Nutrition

Consultations in Nutrition are based on the principle that every person has a unique metabolic pattern which affects his or her nutritional and health needs. As individuals we also respond uniquely to our environmental toxins, food additives and prescription medication. ‘How’ we eat as well as ‘what’ we eat plays a huge role in our nutritional status. In this model of health a state of positive wellness unique to the individual can be restored within his or her life context.

A background in Naturopathic Medicine will guide all aspects of the practitioner’s work whilst also supported by sound principles of scientific research.

Treatments will include selective and remedial nutrition as well as longer term nutritional plans. Supplementation in the form of vitamins, minerals and botanical medicine will also be recommended where appropriate. Diagnostic tests may be used to investigate a problem further.
