Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional therapy consists of the use of
diet and nutritional supplements to help treat disease and achieve
optimum health and wellbeing. The foundation of nutritional medicine
is a health-promoting diet that focuses on the consumption of whole,
natural foods. Nutritional supplements are used in the overall
context of nutritional medicine as complementary agents, not as sole
primary medicines. Diet is always primary, and supplementation
secondary.

What happens in a nutrition consultation?
You will be sent a questionnaire
prior to your appointment which will provide details of your medical
and family health history, current symptoms and diet.
During the initial consultation we will
discuss your health problems and aims, and look at why you may be
experiencing certain health problems.
After the consultation you will receive:
A personalised written report suggesting various dietary and
lifestyle changes
A personalised supplement programme (if necessary) to help treat
specific health conditions
Menu ideas prepared especially for you
A follow-up consultation is usually recommended after 4 weeks to
assess your progress and address any further health issues.
