What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health and optimal physical performance.  Nutritional Therapy can identify potential nutritional imbalances and how these contribute to symptoms.  This approach allows the nutritional therapist to work with people on many levels by addressing nutritional imbalances and supporting the body towards maintaining health.

Nutritional Therapists recognise that each person is an individual with unique dietary and nutrition requirements, rather than taking a ‘one size fits all’ approach.  We are all different and what we eat and drink, our lifestyle and family history, as well as our environment can all impact on our health. By analysing these factors, and in agreement with you, a personalised nutrition plan can be compiled.

How can Nutritional Therapy help?

Nutritional therapy can help to improve a wide variety of health conditions. 

For example, it can help to:

  • enhance energy levels and feelings of vitality
  • support digestive, skin and immune health
  • optimise fertility and health during pregnancy

 

What does a consultation involve?
Prior to the initial consultation you will be sent a comprehensive questionnaire which will ask you to provide information on your symptoms, medical history, diet, lifestyle e.g. exercise and any medication or supplements you might be taking. Your first consultation will last an hour.  During this time, Louise will discuss your questionnaire with you and gather information on your health history, diet and lifestyle to develop a tailored, nutritional programme to meet your individual needs and which fits with your lifestyle.

Dietary supplements and/or diagnostic tests, such as those to help determine hormonal or digestive imbalances, may also be recommended depending on your particular health concerns.  These are at an additional cost.

Your progress is monitored at the follow up consultation, which usually takes place four to six weeks after the initial consultation and lasts 45 minutes. Depending on your needs, you may require several additional follow up consultations over a period of approximately three to six months.

PRICES

1 Hour consultations: £65.00
Additional 45 minute follow up: £45.00 (there will be an extra charge if this consultation exceeds the time allocated).
Additional costs may be necessary, such as diagnostic testing or nutritional supplements to help address nutrient deficiencies whilst the diet is adjusted.
