Why might you want to see a nutritional therapist?You have had long term, undiagnosed symptoms that a doctor cannot seem to help with. You want to take a more natural approach and avoid where possible, taking medication. You would benefit from ongoing support and motivation to making dietary and lifestyle changes. You are fed up with not feeling your best and want to know if there are any underlying health conditions.
-
Do you only look at nutrition?No, we take a holistic approach to your healing. Alongside nutritional support you may be offered exercise and lifestyle guidance as well as laboratory testing to gain further understanding of the cause of your symptoms which will help us tailor your nutrition plan. By taking the time to understand you as a person, you can expect to receive an achievable protocol that will fit in with your personal, social, work and family life commitments to help you achieve your optimal health and wellbeing goals.
-

We have a wealth of knowledge and experience of supporting the following conditions: Female hormonal problems: Hormonal acne, PMS, Irregular/heavy/no menstruation, PCOS, infertility, endometriosis, fertility Digestive issues. Eg.

-
Can you help me to get a diagnosis for my condition?Absolutely. Many of our clients are frustrated that they've been unable to receive a formal diagnosis for their symptoms through the traditional healthcare routes. We work closely with our clients to help get a medical diagnosis (if needed) as often symptoms are overlooked by the GP and a client wont be sent for further investigations.
-
What's the difference between a nutritional therapist and a nutritionist?Technically we are classifed as qualified Nutritional Therapists and not Nutritionists. The main difference being that we've studied biomedicine and biochemistry, which means we are more qualified to support complex cases. Our school of study is called The College of Naturopathic Medicine which means we are a complimentary healthcare provider within the framework of functional medicine.
-
What does Functional Medicine based mean?Functional medicine based means we take a fully holistic and biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease and your symptoms
-
What is the role of science-based nutritional therapy in mental health?Science-based nutritional therapy plays a significant role in mental health by identifying and addressing nutritional deficiencies that may affect mood and cognitive function. It supports brain health through optimal nutrition, potentially improving conditions like depression and anxiety.
