Nutrition

Nutrition, it is the fuel the body requires to function. The quality, quantity and types of nutrition can determine how the body performs these functions.

​

We can appreciate that we are all individuals, with different lifestyles and environmental impacts. Our individuality can influence what nutritional requirements will be of benefit and those that may cause harm. Nutritional requirements also change throughout the lifespan and so it is important that a nutritional plan is tailored to the individual for that stage of their life.

​

We take a science-based approach to nutrition.

What this means:

• a comprehensive nutrition, health and wellness analysis will be implemented prior to determining what nutritional plan will provide the best outcome.

• pathology and functional testing will be conducted if necessary (these are additional costs but will assist with identifying the route cause)

• functional pathology tests can include (click to view testing):​

  • Nutritional Analysis, detailed assessment of nutritional status, covering cardiovascular health, thyroid function, hormonal imbalance, vitamins etc.

  • Allergies & Intolerances, assess immune response to a variety of foods

  • Metabolic Function, a view into the body’s cellular metabolic processes

  • Microbiome testing, to detect and assess the gut status that may be contributing to acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms & other conditions

  • Hormonal Health, in-depth assessment of hormonal, metabolic, and environmental influences on hormone health

  • myDNA Health, extensive investigation into your unique genetic profile that can impact nutritional and exercise requirements

  • MTHFR advance, comprehensive genetic testing, that goes beyond just the common MTHFR gene variants (like C677T/A1298C) to look at over 300 SNPs affecting methylation, detoxification, neurotransmitters, and other critical bodily functions

• functional pathology means that there is no assumption, holistic nutritional medicine plans will be based on individual science-based parameters.

• provide research based supportive supplements.

​​

All nutritional plans are tailor-made plans to suit you the individual, that are flexible, achievable and sustainable. Your plan will suit your lifestyle, time constraints and dietary requirements.
