About nutritional therapy
Nutritional therapy is about understanding the relationship between food and health for each individual. It can be used safely alongside conventional treatments.
Our bodies need the correct nutrients to function optimally. At the Nutrition Co you will receive a programme of food and, sometimes, supplements to encourage the body’s natural healing and defences. This, in turn, can help to optimise your health and energy, helping to prevent disease so that you can get the most out of your life and cope better with the stresses and strains of modern living.
Nutritional therapy also includes an assessment to identify whether any foods may be having a negative impact on your health. Although this is initially based on your symptoms, it may include testing if required.
How nutritional therapy can help you
We can't control many elements in our environment, such as pollution, noise and social and emotional behaviour of others, but we can control what we eat.
Although it should be possible to obtain all of our nutrient needs through a sensible diet, sometimes processed foods and our own increased needs due to stress and diet can mean that there is a shortfall, which, if left unaddressed, can lead to health issues.
Take control of your nutritional needs
Other reasons to choose nutritional therapy are that it gives you control over your programme and therefore over your recovery. We will be able to build an individual programme that suits your current lifestyle and builds on any actions you may already be taking.
