About nutritional therapy

What is it?

Nutritional Therapy is a process of recovery or increased health through diet and lifestyle, with supplements used as an adjunct to accelerate health. Imagine how a physiotherapist works with physical strain or dysfunction: taking the pressure off, supporting the injury and making a plan moving forward. A nutritional therapist does this on a digestive, metabolic and cellular level: by identifying stressors, addressing imbalances and deficiencies, and providing healing strategies.

How will it benefit me?

Our digestive tract houses around 80% of the immune system, 100 billion nerve cells and produces 95% of serotonin (the happy neurotransmitter). Plus, the bacteria in our gut decides how fat is stored in the body, impacts hunger hormones (like ghrelin which controls appetite) has a two way connection with the brain (hello brain fog), affects histamine levels (maybe itchy skin, maybe headaches, maybe more?), works with the oestrobolome to influence circulating oestrogen levels in the body (which impacts weight, libido, mood and more). So the benefits start by improving gut health.

But that’s not all. With a well functioning digestive system, we can then look to detox the body, support the liver (or kidneys, or brain, or adrenals – its all individual), boost the cells and work on what is presenting next, if anything still is!
