Nutritional therapy, classed as a complementary medicine, is the practice of evidence-based nutrition aimed at restoring and maintaining optimal physical and mental health, as well as preventing disease.
Nutritional Therapists thoroughly assess dietary, physiological and lifestyle imbalances. They identify antecedents, triggers and mediators and investigate the root cause of the presenting symptoms. Using the best available nutrition evidence, together with clinical experience, they then address these imbalances, using first food as medicine and then a variety of tools including supplements and laboratory testing when necessary.
Nutritional Therapists apply a holistic approach and treat each individual as unique, according to their values and preferences.
Nutritionists understand the importance of their client’s personal circumstances and possess excellent listening skills and a high degree of compassion.
Nutritional Therapists do not diagnose or treat disease. They frequently work alongside medical professionals to support individuals’ wellbeing.
Everyone can benefit from Nutritional Therapy. Those with a specific illness or those who want to improve their health will benefit.
