Could Nutritional Therapy
Help You?
Unlock your health potential through
good nutrition.
Feel and look better, boost vitality and slow the aging process.
|
Tracy Land: Nutritionist
|
Hippocrates said “Let food be your medicine….”. It
has been recognised for millennia that there is a close link between what we eat and the
health problems we suffer from. Good nutrition is the bedrock of sound health, vitality
and increased energy. It can transform how we feel. There is lots of research pointing to
the effectiveness of nutrition in restoring health.
Nutritional therapy aims to help you
optimise your health by eating the foods that are right for you personally. It reveals how
eating habits affect specific health conditions. It seeks to resolve the root cause
of illness, not just provide symptomatic relief. You will be given a detailed and
personalised programme of specific changes to improve your health. Even small changes can
make a huge difference.
Health
Problems That Can be Helped by Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional therapy can help a vast range of conditions which make us feel unwell.
Examples of the types of conditions which respond well to improved nutrition include:
 | Low energy and loss
of well-being |
| Boosting the immune
system to reduce infections and increase resistance to cancer and autoimmune disease. |
| Women’s health
problems caused by hormonal imbalance, such as PMS, polycystic ovary syndrome and
menopausal problems |
| Men’s health
issues such as prostate problems |
| Subfertility |
| Children’s
health problems such as allergies (including asthma and eczema) and behavioural problems
such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorders |
| Digestive problems
such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, bloating, wind, IBS, Crohns disease,
ulcerative colitis, and food allergies. |
| Health conditions
affecting heart health, including raised blood pressure, cholesterol and heart disease |
| Mental health
problems such as depression and anxiety |
| Migraine and
headaches |
| Skin problems such
as acne, eczema and psoriasis |
| Osteo and
rheumatoid arthritis |
| Chronic fatigue
syndrome |
What
is Involved in a Nutrition Consultation?
Prior to a one-to-one consultation, clients are asked to complete a detailed nutrition and
health questionnaire, which includes a diet diary. After the initial consultation, which
generally takes an hour, the client receives a personalised programme for improving their
health, with recommendations on diet, supplements (if appropriate) and lifestyle changes.
Follow-up consultations normally take place 4-6 weeks after the first consultation. The
average number of consultations is 2-3, but complex and long-standing health problems may
need more. In some cases sophisticated functional health tests are used to help pin-point
the cause of particular health problems, such as allergy tests, hormone tests, digestive
function tests, stress and thyroid tests. These enable very specific treatment programmes
to be devised for the client.
Cost
| Initial consultation (this includes 1 hour
face-to-face and preparation time before the consultation):
£50

minutes face-to-face and any additional research time if appropriate, together with
