I use a holistic approach combining evidence-based nutrition science with a functional medicine approach.

 

Nutritional Therapy is the practice of using food as medicine. It involves working closely with a trained practitioner to assess your unique dietary habits, health goals, and needs. Together, you'll create a personalized nutrition plan that focuses on nourishing your body with the right foods. This approach recognizes that what you eat profoundly impacts your health and aims to empower you with the knowledge and tools to make informed dietary choices.

Functional Medicine, on the other hand, takes a broader view of health. It seeks to understand the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners investigate how various systems in your body are interconnected and use this knowledge to create personalized treatment plans. Nutrition is a fundamental aspect of functional medicine, but it also considers lifestyle factors, genetics, and environmental influences to optimize your well-being.

Together, these approaches offer a comprehensive and patient-centred approach to health and wellness. They empower you to take control of your health, address underlying issues, and make sustainable changes to support your vitality and longevity. Whether you're dealing with specific health concerns or simply want to prioritize preventive care, nutritional therapy and functional medicine provide valuable tools to help you achieve your wellness goals.
