Nutrition Clinic

What is a Nutritionist?

Nutritionists look at your health and diet analysing how efficiently your body digests, absorbs and metabolises nutrients from your diet taking into account factors such as age, lifestyle, family history, medical history and stress.

"The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition."
Thomas Edison

Why visit a Nutritionist?

A direct correlation exists between health (and specific disease states) and diet, hence what we eat can be a significant indicator of ill health. Poor diet/nutrition is involved in well over thirty percent of cancers and forty percent of heart disease, the two major causes of death in the UK today. In addition, poor nutrition is estimated to cost the NHS well in excess of £6bn per year¹.

What is nutritional therapy?

Nutritional therapy aims to address the underlying causes of health problems rather than simply treating the symptoms. Disturbed metabolic functions, nutrient imbalances and digestive stress are assessed helping to prevent or better manage health problems.

Realistic evidence-based changes to your diet could help you to ‘add life to years’ optimising and enhancing your health.

As everyone is different, these services are tailored to take account of factors such as age, sex, metabolism, pollution, lifestyle and current health issues. In addition realistic, achievable changes which fit into your life will help to meet your goals too — for life!
