Nutritional Therapy is about much
more than eating a balanced diet. It is a sophisticated healthcare
system that explores ways of manipulating a person's nutrition in order
to achieve optimal wellness. Some of the factors considered are:
| * Nutritional deficiences. These can be due to insufficient |
| |
intake through the diet, poor absorption or individual metabolic imbalances. |
* Allergies and sensitivities to foods or environmental allergies.
| * Imbalances of hormones, blood sugar levels, essential fatty |
| |
acids. Such imbalances
may be too subtle to show up in conventional tests but nevertheless,
when corrected have a significant effect on health. |
|
| * Digestive function. Poor digestion and absorption can lead |
| |
to nutrient deficiences, bloating, gas and bowel problems. |
| * Function of the liver and the bowel. The functioning of these |
| |
two organs is a key
factor in good health. Between them, the liver and bowel ensure that
the multitude of toxins that we are exposed to daily, are metabolised
and excreted from the body. Nutritional support and gentle herbal
cleansing regimes may be suggested to improve liver and bowel function.
|
| * Assessment is made primarily through questioning and |
| |
examining. Tests such as a stool, saliva or urine analysis are used where appropriate. |
| * You will be provided with a detailed eating plan which |
| |
will fit practically into your lifestyle. |
