A nutritional therapist will not claim to be able to cure any condition, and working with a nutritional therapist does not replace medical advice and treatment. However, your body is an amazing feat of nature, the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and survival.
Where a condition is life-long, the support of a nutritional therapist can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Where there is pain there is much we can do to reduce chronic inflammation, and possibly reduce reliance on medications, and further disease progression. Where conditions run in the family, or someone is at higher risk of a disease, we can work to reduce risk-factors and susceptability to the disease.
By understanding the role of nutrients in the physiology for health, disease pathophysiology when things go wrong, and identifying triggers and mediators that cause and prolong symptoms, a nutritional therapist can work with you to support your body from within. The micro- and macro-nutrients you consume on a daily basis aren’t just giving you energy and muscle-strength, they are literally the building-blocks your body needs on a cellular level to function.
For some support with any of the above, why not book a session?
