What Is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy identifies and addresses body's imbalances. It aims at bringing body's systems to balance through nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. All recommendations are science-based.
Nutritional therapy takes a look at the body as a whole. It considers potential root causes of the symptoms meaning that if there is a disruption in one system or organ, it may have an effect on functioning of other body systems.
What To Expect From A Consultation With A Nutritionist?
Prior the consultation, you will be sent out a compreheansive health questionnaire and a 3 day food diary. You are expected to complete and return these documents at least 48 hours before your consultation date. If you have any recent medical tests, you will be asked to submit them together with your completed health questionnaire.
During the consultation, your nutritional therapist will discuss your symptoms and goals. They will negotiate the food plans with you. Potential mechanisms that may have led to the symptoms that you are experiencing will be discussed.
You may be recommended to have some functional tests and supplements that are optional.
Your food plans and consultation summary with the suggested recommendations will be sent to you within 5 working days after the initial consultation.
The price for the first consultation includes 4 hours of scientific research that is personalised to you to support the proposed recommendations.
