Nutritional Therapy is an effective and natural approach to well-being that is affordable, sustainable and lasting.
It uses individually tailored prescriptions for diet and lifestyle in order to alleviate or prevent ailments. Nutritional Therapy, grounded in scientific research, works on a cellular level to repair dysfunction in the body. It aims to encourage and restore the bodys own natural healing potential, and to promote optimal health. The core principle of Nutritional Therapy is that of holism and it considers that each person is unique and has individual nutritional requirements. Its focus is to treat the underlying cause rather than the symptoms alone. Recommendations may include guidance on natural detoxification, procedures to promote and support colon health, digestion and absorption. Other suggestions may include the avoidance of ingestion or inhalation of toxins, or allergens and the appropriate use of supplementary nutrients and functional testing.
