Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional Therapy explores how food, nutrition and lifestyle influence the body’s systems and overall wellbeing. It is based on the understanding that nutritional needs vary between individuals and that diet and lifestyle can play a role in how symptoms develop and persist.
Food and nutrition play a central role in daily life and are widely recognised as important influences on health. Nutritional Therapy takes a considered approach to understanding how diet and lifestyle interact with the body’s systems, and how these factors may contribute to ongoing symptoms or changes in wellbeing.
Nutritional Therapy aims to address underlying influences on health through an individualised assessment. Sessions explore health history, current concerns, dietary patterns and lifestyle factors, allowing nutritional guidance to be tailored to the individual rather than based on general advice.
This approach may include discussion of food choices, dietary patterns, periods of fasting where appropriate, and the considered use of supplements or functional foods. Guidance is supported by nutritional science and delivered alongside ongoing assessment and practical support.
Nutritional Therapy does not rely on rigid plans or restrictive diets. Instead, it supports gradual and sustainable adjustments that can be integrated into everyday life, with the intention of supporting the body’s normal function and capacity for balance.
Nutritional Therapy can be used on its own or alongside other therapies and medical care. It sits well within an integrative model, complementing other approaches and supporting longer-term health and wellbeing.
