As part of the consultation process, your Nutritional Therapist will go through your medical history and assess your current health status.
Your Nutritional Therapist will discuss personal health symptoms, needs and goals and devise a personalised nutrition plan on this basis. You will be offered personalised lifestyle advice which is tailored to your individual health needs and health goals. This includes carefully chosen dietary recommendations, practical meal suggestions and recipes as well as tips on how to incorporate the changes into your lifestyle.
Your Nutritional Therapist will work with you to devise a meal plan that is nutritionally balanced, practical, enjoyable and sustainable. If any foods need to be reduced or eliminated for a period of time, they will suggest viable alternatives that will maintain nutritional needs.
Where necessary, they may also prescribe natural supplements in safe doses e.g. probiotics and/or vitamins and minerals to help alleviate certain symptoms or optimise nutritional status. However, food is always the main part of the protocol.
