Nutrition

A means of achieving optimum health and well-being. It aims to change an individual’s biochemistry from an unbalanced state – which may be causing minor or distressing symptoms which may ultimately lead to a diagnosable disease – to a state of balance. A detailed history is taken of health problems, medical and family history, lifestyle and dietary factors. A nutritional assessment is made, sometimes with the help of appropriate laboratory tests. Dietary and lifestyle changes will be recommended often supported by nutritional supplements based on individual needs. Can often be used to support other therapies as part of an overall health plan.
