nutritional therapist works on the basis that feeling ‘okay’
is not good enough. Optimum nutrition fuels the body so that it can function at its best. It is able to correct deficiencies and may reverse, halt or prevent ‘dis-ease’. In order to do this each individual is viewed as a unique whole person and a complete nutritional strategy is developed to serve his or her specific needs. Everyone accepts that balanced nutrition is important for good health. What most people don’t realise is that different people at different stages in their lives need different diets. As part of an holistic approach to healthcare, an optimum nutritional intake ensures that the building blocks of health are available. The complementary medicines like homeopathy and acupuncture can be seen as making sure the building blocks are put in the right place, or that the architect’s plan is correct, However, you do need good quality material which a well-planned diet and supplementation programme can provide. Some patients benefit from nutritional review to stay healthy, particularly at times of change – as in pregnancy or with ageing. Other patients use a nutritional approach as an adjunct to other therapies when they have a particular health problem. You may receive benefit from nutritional therapy if you have a general complaint, such as: general fatigue sleep disturbance susceptibility to infections poor weight management stress-related problems Don’t forget there is no single diet that suits everyone. Some patients benefit from nutritional advice when they have disease in particular organs or systems in the body. Heart disease - moderately elevated cholesterol or blood pressure Digestive problems - irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, hiatus hernia Joint disease - arthritis, early osteoporosis, nervous and hormonal systems, anxiety, PMT, menopause, weight gain, infertility The third group of patients are those with specific conditions that can often be diet-related and these include food allergies - Dairy sensitivity Wheat and gluten sensitivity Hyperactivity ADD or ADHD Migraines and headaches Eating or feeding problems in children We also support patients with eating disorders where a nutritional approach is a vital complement to other therapeutic approaches. The final category of patients that we see and use nutritional therapy for are those with long-standing deep-seated and sometimes degenerative diseases, including chronic fatigue/ME, post-viral syndrome, eating disorders, some psychological conditions, including anxiety, depression and diabetes problems. |
