Frequently Asked Questions
Nutritional Therapy usually requires some level of dietary or lifestyle modification. Our nutritional therapist will work with you to make recommendations that fit in with your lifestyle and budget nevertheless managing any behaviour change in any area of life requires a degree of individual commitment and compliance.
The answer is simple – anybody! From those that want to simply improve their overall diet, to individuals with more chronic health conditions.
Our aim is always to use food first with clients, and review diet. Depending on the level of nourishment, the health symptoms and the desire of the client, our nutritionist therapist will recommend supplements that she thinks would be particularly beneficial and appropriate. We try not to overload our clients with supplements.
Our nutrition professional offers dietary support and advice online and over the phone, and this can be beneficial for clients who cannot attend face-to-face sessions.
Each session varies depending on the client, and what the purpose of the sessions are.
Before the first session, the client may be asked to complete a questionnaire, detailing their diet, lifestyle, and any health problems they may have. During the first session, our nutrition therapist will discuss the findings, going into greater detail. She may make some simple recommendations that can be carried out straight away, and, if needs be, suggest some supplements. The nutritional therapist will also develop a personal plan, to be carried out and monitored long term. It will include meal plans, exercise regimes, supplements, and suggestions of any alternative therapy which may be beneficial.
The subsequent sessions then monitor progress, amending the plan as necessary, and providing motivation and support. These sessions may take place face-to-face, or online, she may offer phone and email support instead of, or in addition, to this. Typically, sessions can last from 45 – 90 minutes.
