What is a Nutritional Therapist?
A Nutritional Therapist is a health practitioner who uses nutrition science to promote health and well-being.
Nutritional therapy is an evidence-informed, whole-body approach to nutrition and lifestyle medicine. This involves a variety of tools to assess health, such as functional lab and blood analyses, and identifying potential nutritional imbalances. Guidance may include advice on avoiding certain toxins and allergens, detoxification, and the use of supplementary nutrients like high-dose vitamins.
Nutritional therapy is considered complementary medicine, aimed at people looking to improve their general health and lifestyle through diet and nutrition. It is also beneficial for those with chronic health conditions who wish to see a nutritional therapist alongside other medical professionals.
What is Gut health?
Gut health refers to the balance and function of bacteria and other microorganisms in the digestive tract, particularly the intestines. It encompasses the overall well-being of the gastrointestinal system, including the efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients, effective immune function, and a balanced microbiome. A healthy gut is crucial for overall health and is linked to various conditions such as mental health, immune system imbalanced, and even weight management. Signs of good gut health include regular bowel movements, minimal bloating or gas, and no persistent gastrointestinal symptoms like pain or discomfort.
Nutritional Therapists look at the whole individual (mind, body, soul), aiming to get to the root cause of the issue to optimise overall health.
Nutritional Therapists focus on improving their clients’ habits & routines through a well balanced anti-inflammatory & unprocessed diet, with lifestyle habits that optimise wellbeing.
