Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition science to promote optimum health, peak performance and disease prevention.A simple balance of all essential nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, vitamins and minerals is important in maintaining health and wellbeing. When these nutrients are not in balance, deficiencies may occur that could result in various health symptoms, conditions and diseases, if left untreated. Nutritional therapy involves working with clients on a one-to-one basis to identify and treat nutritional factors that may be affecting their health.

Before the initial consultation you will be asked to complete a detailed questionnaire, providing information on your health and lifestyle, and a five day diet diary. I will require this to be returned to me before our appointment to enable me to carry out a pe-consultation analysis. During the consultation, we will explore any health problems you may have and what goals you aim to achieve through nutritional therapy. Relevant explanations as to why you may be experiencing some of your health symptoms will be given, where possible, and how they may be related to your food choices and lifestyle.

A holistic approach is taken to assess your individual requirements and working with you a nutritional and lifestyle programme will be designed specifically with your health goals in mind. This may include meal plans, recipes and, if necessary, nutritional supplements to support your diet.
