Nutritional therapy

What is it?

Nutritional therapy considers your diet, lifestyle and environmental factors which could be contributing to your health problems. 

What does it involve?

You will be asked to complete a comprehensive client history form prior to your first consultation.  When we meet I will then discuss your health history and symptoms in more detail and suggest changes to your diet or lifestyle which should help to improve your health problems.  I will take notes throughout and provide various information handouts.

Some clients may be advised to take a test (eg. blood or stool) which will help to diagnose suspect underlying causes of their health problems.  You are not under any obligation to have these tests as they do incur additional costs.

Supplements may also be advised to treat your symptoms and enhance your body's healing process.  Supplements only contain natural ingredients but in many cases are just as potent, if not more so than pharmaceutical drugs.  Again, these will incur an additional charge whether bought through me or from a preferred outlet of your choice.

Follow up consultations will review improvements to your health and consider further changes and/or supplements to maximise your well-being.  Nutritional therapy is similar to the work of a detective - it takes considerable investigation to discover the underlying causes for your ill health.
