Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of optimal health, peak performance and healthy ageing
It is evidence-based, meaning that all the recommendations that are made are based on a safe and proven scientific research. This whole-body, personalised approach is tailored to identify and address potential imbalances in the body, rather than focusing on different presenting symptoms. Nutritional imbalances can influence a wide range of interconnected systems, including those that impact heart and cardiovascular health, such as blood pressure regulation, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and vascular function. By addressing these imbalances, we support not only cardiovascular resilience but also broader aspect of health including:
​
Digestion and absorption of food
Blood sugar control
Processing of toxins by the liver
Immune and inflammatory processes
Metabolism and energy production
Hormone regulation including adrenal, thyroid & sex hormones
The main principle of Nutritional Therapy is to identify and address the underlying causes of an individual’s symptoms or health concerns, often using functional testing
It has been shown that many fluctuations in health and wellbeing can be linked to an individual's nutrition
and lifestyle
Evidence shows us that the food that we eat can either support good health or contribute to the symptoms of ill health. Food impacts how our bodies function.
Not only can it alter our immune system and energy levels, it also affects our mood, ability to think clearly and how we feel emotionally. Long-term sub-optimal nutrition status may be contributing to various chronic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions and mental health issues.
