Nutritional Therapy is an assessment of your nutritional status and how your diet could be affecting your health now and in the future.

Nutrient deficiencies occur even in a diet where abundant food is available.
The nutritional content of processed foods and over farmed foods is questionable and it is not always easy to know which foods are
the most toxic and which foods are the most health promotin. Most people eat the same foods day after day just put together
differently this can cause foods sensitivities as well and deficiencies. The foods that we eat are the body’s raw materials to
use for building, repair,protection, energy and growth. The body needs Vitamins and minerals every day. There are thousands and
thousands of chemical reactions in the body that need co-factors at all times. These include B Vitamins, Minerals, Vitamin C, Vitamin A,
Vitamin D, essential fatty acids and many many more. The metabolic process depletes all these nutrients, as does stress,
hormones, alcohol, smoking, pollution, damaged fats, medications and processed foods.
 

A therapist will also asses your digestion and gut microbiome. If you can’t digest and absorb even healthy foods this can
lead to inflammation, nutrient deficiencies like iron, magnesium and B Vitamins and in turn lead to many health conditions.
If you have an imbalance in the microflora (bacteria) due to antibiotics, infection or poor diet then foods cannot be digested
in a healthy way, which causes toxicity and eventually health issues.

Nutritional Therapy is a personal guide for you to learn about your own nutritional needs and to use food as a tool to
optimal health and to protect the future of your health.
