What is nutritional therapy?
The science of how food and nutrients promote optimum health and peak performance.
Today the volume of scientific evidence supporting the importance of diet and nutrition in the prevention and treatment of disease is growing rapidly. However Nutritional Therapy is not simply about ‘food’. Grounded in recognized science and evidence based research, it examines how our health can be affected by not only what we eat but also by our lifestyle, genetics, environmental toxins and stressors. For example some chronic illnesses that have been shown to have a genetic basis, are sometimes triggered by diet or environmental toxins. It can take many contributing factors to trigger health symptoms or ill health.
Nutritional Therapy focuses on not just the symptoms you maybe suffering with but the underlying health problem and ’cause’, in order to understand how normal body functions may have been disrupted. This is why at Matters For Health we use Functional Laboratory testing (see Laboratory Testing) with state of the art laboratories.
The food you eat, your environment, lifestyle, stress, genetic variations and life experience all play a role in shaping your health and help us determine what your needs are today.
To help Sarah in her assessment of your health, we always ask you to complete a detailed health check questionnaire to assess where there may be imbalances contributing to your health problems.
We use the combination of NUTRITIONAL THERAPY & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE to get to the root cause of your symptoms
