Nutritional Advice

Non Medical Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional therapy uses food and supplements (vitamins and minerals) to encourage the body’s natural healing.  Unlike dieticians, who follow medical guidelines to advice people how to meet government minimum recommendations; nutritional therapists take a more holistic approach to illness.

The aim of nutritional therapists is to detoxify the body, correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies, restore healthy digestion and help the client develop a positive mental attitude.

Learn to eat better for wellbeing and vitality.  This is particularly good for people who are much stressed (as stress uses up a lot of vital nutrients within our bodies).

Nutritional therapists believe that many health problems are caused or aggravated by nutritional deficiencies.  Deficiencies are not always caused by poor diet, but may also be due to infections preventing effective absorption of nutrients in the body, allergies, or excess toxins in the body.

By combining principles of naturopathy and nutritional research, therapists look at what nutritional elements may be missing and then use special diets or nutritional supplements to correct deficiencies and promote detoxification in the body.  Once any nutritional deficiencies are taken care of, symptoms usually disappear.
