Nutritional Therapy

We are witnessing a revolution in medicine.
Almost overnight, Nutritional Therapy has become
the foremost way to improve well-being.

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy is a way of using food and supplements to encourage the body's natural healing power. Commonly referred to as complementary therapy, it works alongside orthodox medicine to encourage optimum health.

Your Nutritional Therapist will assist you in achieving this goal by taking a full dietary, medical and family history. Digestion, energy levels, exercise and other areas specific to your personal history, will be explored. General nutritional status will be analyzed along with any allergies, imbalances and toxicity. Detoxification and supplementation to address nutrient imbalances may be recommended. There may also be a need for testing specific to your symptoms.

Recommendations may include suggestions on foods that should be eaten and avoided or a specific diet may be recommended. Self-healing will be encouraged through the use of proper nutrition and supplementation. Your progress will be closely monitored and reviewed at regular intervals so changes can be made to your program for optimum progress.

Why choose Nutritional Therapy?

Over the past fifty years, understanding of the role of food has improved our health and well-being. Proper nutrition is key to good health and Nutritional Therapy is a holistic discipline, which plays a significant role in preventative medicine.

We live in a world with increased speed and pressure of everyday life. We are constantly forced to eat on the run often grabbing fast foods. Extensive use of chemicals in food production and lengthy transportation of fresh foods, contribute to lack of nutrients. Priorities in the quality and nutritional value of food have been compromised.

The value of nutrition and supplementation in the prevention and treatment of disease has finally been recognized when last year Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance made an unprecedented decision. They agreed to pay for heart patients to enroll in a heart-disease-reversal program based on diet and supplementation rather than on surgery and pharmaceuticals delete these last words. That was a decision, which cost them a fraction of coronary artery bypass surgery.

Proper nutrition is a choice intimately linked to physical well-being. A Nutritional Therapist will help you choose wisely.

How can a nutritional therapist help me?

A Nutritional Therapist can be advantageous to everyone from the elderly to children as Nutritional Therapy is used to address a wide range of conditions from digestive, hormonal or skin problems; migraines and headaches; obesity; hyperactivity; fatigue; autism and depression to name only a few.

As everyone has individual genetic traits, health history and dietary preferences, this can only be addressed through a custom tailored approach.
