Consultations
What is a nutritional medicine consultation?
Disease is often a product of environmental factors, diet and living habits, which can be prevented with the right nutrition and lifestyle tools. A nutritional medicine consultation provides a comprehensive health assessment, addressing various aspects of your whole health, and looks at finding and treating the cause, not just the symptoms.
Nutritional medicine follows natural medicine principles:
A consultation includes:
Diet analysis, lifestyle assessment, whole health status (exploring current function of various body systems and current presenting concerns), personal and family health history, review of recent test results and physical examinations as appropriate (eg. blood pressure, height, weight).
Individualised treatment plans include:
Nutritional advice/education, diet planning advice, functional food therapy "food as medicine", nutrient therapy supplementation programs, lifestyle improvements, integrative medicine test referrals and recommendations for other therapies.
Why nutritional medicine?
Every body requires a balance of essential nutrients for proper functioning, however, this level of nutrients can change - sometimes dramatically - from one person to another, dependent on a number of factors.
Factors contributing to nutrient imbalances:
> Genetics
> Stress
> Trauma
> Underlying disease or disorders
> Modern food processing techniques
> Environmental toxins & pollutants
> Busy Lifestyles
> Poor quality food choices
Each of the above factors change the amount of nutrients your body demands. This can lead to depletion if increased requirements are not being met via the diet. The result is dysfunction leaving you feeling unwell, and can also lead to various health conditions or disease if left untreated.
