FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is Nutritional Therapy?

    Nutritional Therapy is an evidence based approach towards increasing a persons health potential through individually formulated nutritional and lifestyle alterations. It promotes good nutrition for optimal wellbeing as well as addressing nutritional imbalance and supporting the body towards maintaining health.

  • How Can Nutritional Therapy Help Me?

    As a Nutritional Therapists my main emphasis is on promoting optimal wellbeing and preventing disease. The focus is to address the underlying causes of a clients concerns in order to help them achieve long lasting health. A Nutritional Therapist helps their clients to build new habits, improve their digestion and gut health, improve hormone imbalances, sleep better, feel more energetic, manage stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and feel better. 

  • Will The Plan Be Sustainable?

    Yes. As a Nutritional Therapist I believe that the most effective way to achieve long lasting results is to create a plan that will be easy to follow and sustain. The plan will include dietary, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations and testing if necessary, which fits in with the clients budget, lifestyle, dislikes, religion and current mindset.

  • How Many Consultations Will I Need?

    This can vary. For straightforward dietary advice only one session may be required.

    For more complex health problems I usually recommend at least one follow-up session; the first taking place 4-6 weeks after the initial consultation to check on progress and make any further adjustments. Sometimes clients find benefit from ongoing support as they seek to address longer standing issues.

    Remember I am happy to have phone or email contact after a consultation if you need advice clarifying my recommendations or want to check something out. I do not make an additional charge for this.

  • Can You Diagnose A Medical Condition?

    No, as a Nutritional Therapist I cannot diagnose a condition, you need to see a GP. However, if you have any symptoms that I feel may suggest a particular problem I will ask you to see your GP to investigate further.

  • I want to improve my health but I’m a fussy eater and not ready to make changes will nutritional therapy work for me?

    The biggest obstacle to overcome when applying diet, lifestyle and environmental adjustments is changing eating habits and trying new foods. If you know deep down you are not ready to put the effort in, or that your life is too busy right now to apply your recommendations then you probably aren’t in the right place and the process will be a waste of time and money. You need to be honest with yourself. It really depends how important it is to you to be healthy again.
