I Love Greens - Nutritional Therapy

General information

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Nutritional therapy practitioners use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual's symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health. Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a 'one size fits all' approach. Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with 'red flag' signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client's care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.

All consultations are personalised to the individual and the advice that is given is practical, achievable and jointly agreed with the client – meaning you’ll never have to do anything you’re not happy with. Everything is taken one small step at a time to ensure life-long changes in attitude and habit.

Dietary and lifestyle changes in conjunction with supplementation and occasional laboratory testing combine to provide excellent support to your body when dealing with both short and long term health concerns. Although all nutrients should ideally come from our diet there are occasions when high doses are necessary in order address a long term deficiency or in order to address a specific health concern.
