The food that you put into your body directly affects how well your body functions and its future health...
Did you know that there are approximately 45 essential nutrients which are required for the body to function and live? These have to be supplied by the diet because they cannot be made by the body itself.
These nutrients include: carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and essential fatty acids and are critical for health.For your body to function efficiently and to prevent disease they need to be present in the right amount, in the right place and at the right time. An erratic supply weakens cells and forces them to "limp along", and this increases vulnerability to illness and disease.
Your consultation
Step 1.
On booking an appointment you will be sent a questionnaire and a 3-day food diary to complete and bring along to your first consultation. Client confidentiality is strictly maintained.
Step 2.
During the initial consultation further information will be taken and your current diet, lifestyle and symptoms will be assessed alongside your previous medical and family history. A full explanation will be given on any findings and their manifestations plus information on any biochemical imbalances (including vitamin and mineral deficiencies) which may be contributing to your current health concerns. Laboratory tests may be advised for more advanced exploration of underlying causes. Together, and in consideration of your own health goals, an initial action plan will be agreed. Supplements may also be recommended. Telephone and email support is included.
Step 3 & ongoing.
Follow-up consultations are scheduled for usually 4 weeks following the initial consultation to assess progress and provide further advice and information as necessary. How frequently you need to return will vary according to your individual circumstances and the nature of your health goals.
