Nutritional Therapy is not just about healthy eating. It is a form of complementary /alternative medicine in which a NTP practitioner will work with the client. She will help his or her body rid itself of stressful substances, providing raw materials and improving assimilation of food in order to aid physical repair. It aims to change an individual’s metabolism from an unbalanced state – which may be causing minor and major distressing symptoms and which may lead to diagnosable disease – to a state of balance or homeostasis, allowing the body to return to optimum health.
Optimum health is achieved by assessing biochemical imbalances to include vitamins and mineral deficiencies, hormonal dysfunction, food sensitivities and underlying parasitic and fungal infections. It addresses the underlying causes leading to weight gain, water retention, loss of energy, cravings, bloating, headaches, memory loss, bowel disturbances, joint pain, depression, infertility, etc. (The causes rather than the symptoms of illness) It boosts energy levels, increases the body’s ability to cope with stress and infection. It slows chronic degenerative disease and the aging process, recommending biochemical tests and nutritional supplements, as appropriate, which are at the cutting edge in the field of nutrition, in addition to individual dietary and lifestyle changes.
Nutritional Therapy is mandatory for the following conditions:
Sugar handling problems, Headaches/migraine, irritable bowel, bloating, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, skin problems, overweight, mood swings, allergies, sensitivities, candida, female hormone imbalances –( i.e. fibroids, endometriosis, PMS, menopausal problems), digestive and bowel disorders, stress, food intolerances, parasitic and fungal infections, chronic degenerative disease etc., plus many other conditions
Your health is only as good as your nutrition. Your nutrition concerns what you eat (diet) and what you absorb. If your cells do not get the nutrients, your body starves. Your energy, overall physical vibrancy and your zest for life is directly influenced by what you consume. You can’t eat junk food and feel healthy, strong and ready to deal effectively with life. Stress is compounded by what you eat. Too many inappropriate food choices will eventually worsen any health problem.
