Welcome to the wonderful world of Optimum Nutrition!
Nutrition is now becoming accepted as an integral part of health care especially among today’s progressive health professionals.
Working with a nutritionist is an investment not only in your present state of health but your future well being too.
Rapid improvement can be experienced as well as slow and steady changes over a longer period.
Each person is unique so an individually assessed expert nutrition programme is your key to unlocking good health on a regular basis and for years to come.
Here are some details of what your Nutrition Analysis Consultation will include:
· Nutritional Assessment Report, based on information you give me in detailed questionnaires completed and returned prior to the appointment. This will highlight any nutrient or system imbalances that affect your health.
· Personal consultation that lasts an hour
· Written personal nutrition programme
· Individual diet guide lines and supplement recommendations where needed
· Information sheets for you to refer to and learn from.
· Interpretation of allergy pulse test results if required
· Professional biochemical tests can be arranged if requested
Consultation Cost £75
After one month I recommend a’ Follow-on’ appointment (£49) to monitor your progress, answer questions and help with any practical difficulties. At five months I recommend another Review Analysis to check your are achieving your goals and reassess things as a maintenance programme may then be all that is required .
Nutrition therapy is beneficial for most health problems including: acne, allergies, arthritis, asthma, anxiety, bowel disorders, digestion, depression, constipation, fatigue, fertility, pregnancy, hyperactivity, eczema, heart conditions, headaches, hormonal problems, PMT, menopause, memory, sports nutrition, stress, thyroid problems, weight control.
SOME COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does working with a Clinical Nutritionist involve?
A nutritionist will not only advise you on a good ‘diet’ for weight loss etc. but also help you improve how your body absorbs, uses the food and gets rid of its toxic waste. A nutritionist investigates nutrient imbalances, disturbed body functions and prevention of the degenerative diseases.
What will the consultation be like?
Your nutritionist will explain any underlying imbalances affecting your health and after discussion with you, provide a tailor made written programme to suit your requirements.
Diet:
Details will be given of foods to be increased or decreased and any extra nutrients needed to help your body overcome any health imbalances in the shortest possible time.
Vitamins and lifestyle:
Ideally a person should be able to obtain all their nutrients from food, however poor food production and eating habits often lower levels of essential nutrients in the body so some specific supplemented nutrients could be useful to improve your chances of significant progress. Details are supplied.
Lifestyle:
Your nutritionist will identify lifestyle factors that are adversely affecting your health and make practical suggestions to help you make changes. Some areas I advise on are sleep and relaxation, exercise, stress management, practical food preparation and shopping
What about allergy testing?
‘On the spot’ allergy testing of electrical energy associated with food intake has limited value as these results reflect foods currently being eaten and results can vary with different practitioners. These often provide extensive food lists for avoidance and do not give the most important answers… such as…
a. How long the food should be excluded and to what degree?
b. What underlying factors have caused this disruption and how to put it right?
c. Are the symptoms due to ‘food intolerances’ or a temporary system imbalance?
Benefits of Pulse Testing
As food reactions cause an immune reaction usually including change in heart beat, your nutritionist will identify ‘suspect’ foods which can be tested after a short period of avoidance with a simply repeatable Pulse Challenge Test at home. This process can be repeated for any suspect food and can be repeated to monitor the improvement situation.
Food ‘allergies or intolerances’ are the side effects of an overloaded immune system, so improving basic nutrition will also reduce the potential for food reactions.
