Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine
Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of optimum health and performance, disease prevention and patient-centred care.
It is an evidence-based, complementary approach (working alongside the medical profession) that uses diet, lifestyle and, if necessary, nutritional supplements to enable individuals to maximise their health potential.
I seek, through a functional approach, to identify clinical imbalances in the core systems of the body that underlie various disease conditions. These include:
What is Functional medicine . It is personalised medicine that deals with primary prevention. It aims to seek and address the underlying causes instead of symptoms for serious chronic disease. We achieve this by looking at the interplay between health history, genetic predispositions, environment, physiological processes and where possible test results. It is in essence the coming together of traditional medicine and modern scientific understanding of individual biochemistry.
This comprehensive approach is used to encourage the body’s natural healing and immune processes, boost energy levels, improve mental well-being, restore vitality and achieve optimum health.

- Detoxification & biotransformational imbalances
- Immune imbalances
- Inflammatory imbalances
- Digestive, absorptive, & microbiological imbalances.
