Nutritional therapy is a complementary therapy. By analysing diet, tailoring
it according to individual needs and rectifying any vitamin, mineral and
other nutrient imbalances, nutritional therapy seeks to alleviate and help
common diseases and promote health.
This all sounds quite complicated but in fact the premise is simple.
Nutritional therapy focuses on the link between health and diet, with the
emphasis on identifying and working on the cause of a problem not the
symptoms.
For example, if a client complains of headaches or lack of energy this could
be caused by many things - dehydration, hormone or blood sugar
imbalances, food intolerances, stress etc. It is only once the cause has
been identified that a specific, personalised programme can be developed
to address the situation.
