Frequently asked questions

What is nutritional therapy?

Nutritional therapy is the use of diet and supplementation to help improve health conditions or diseases. It is a tool that can be used to bring you to optimum health, or to achieve optimum sports performance. Every plan that I put together is tailored to an individual's needs. I will take into account your lifestyle and circumstances to ensure that you get as much out of nutritional therapy as possible.

What is Nutritio?

Nutritio is Latin for nutritionist. It is my business name that covers all my services as a Nutritional therapist. Currently I offer one to one consultations and talks on nutrition.

Can I use nutrition alongside conventional treatment?

Yes, nutrition can be a wonderful addition to your treatment plan and path to health. Very often an integrated approach to healthcare and medicine will be most effective. If you are seeing a consultant or GP about your condition you are advised to tell them that you are also seeing a nutritionist. I am very open to working alongside any other complementary or allopathic specialist.

Do you do telephone consultations?

I am happy to have a telephone consultations with you after our initial appointment. The calls can be used as follow ups or ongoing support. I offer various packages including clinic, telephone and email consultation and support which can be tailored to your needs.

Can you do home visits?

I am more than happy to talk to you about this and it will depend on where you are located. This can only be considered after our first consultation.

Do you offer a weight loss plan?

Very often my clients will lose weight when they embark on a healthy and balanced eating plan. I don’t believe in ‘diets’ as they rarely have any positive or lasting effect. We will not focus on calorie counting or weights and measures instead we will identify what your body needs and consider other adjustments to your lifestyle that will help you feel healthier and lose any excess weight. The aim is to bring your body into balance.

Do you use tests?

When appropriate I may recommend that you have a test to identify a deficiency, an allergy or toxin level for example. Most testing will be outsourced to a professional lab. Tests for blood pressure, cholesterol, homocysteine, iron, heavy metals, parasites and gut bacteria can be very effective in identifying problems and speeding up healing through more focused treatment.
