Consultations

Gut issues are often complex, especially ones that develop slowly. They can creep up gradually and before you know it, it’s impacting your daily life. Maybe it’s niggling bloating after meals or you’re so worried about going out with friends because you’re not sure how you’re going to react to the food that your social life is suffering. The time comes though when you’re ready for a change and there’s a desire to feel well again. Perhaps that’s what’s lead you to my website.

Complex gut conditions may have developed over years if not decades. This means I rarely see clients for “one off” consultations as I don’t feel this offers a realistic or meaningful approach to allow you to regain your health and live symptom free.

Teamwork

I view the relationship I have with my patients as a partnership. Since the process is dynamic and gut issues may respond quickly to the changes I find regular contact and feedback sessions allow us to keep all the recommendations relevant and our approach up to date. This prevents you from remaining on a restrictive diet for a prolonged period of time when you’re ready for the next step in the process.

Nutritional Therapy

When we talk about disease we spend a lot of the time talking about symptoms. Headaches, tiredness, aches and pains, they all tell us how we’re feeling however they don’t offer many clues about why we might be feeling that way. While medication can help us more comfortable it may not always be appropriate in each and every case. This may even be something you’re experiencing yourself with the medication you’ve been prescribed not be giving the results you hoped for . It could even be resulting in some undesired side effects.

Our bodies have a natural ability to heal. However, with long-standing health conditions the natural healing processes are hindered. Reasons for this include nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, environmental toxins, poor sleep or immune imbalances. It is by bringing these back into balance we can support our own natural healing processes.

Nutritional Therapy focuses on you as an individual with a unique set of challenges and works to bring changes that last.

A Holistic Approach

If you’re walking down the street and you notice a small stone in your shoe digging into your foot what would you be inclined to do? Would you take a pain killer to numb the pain or stop, slip off your shoes and remove the stone? It’s a simple analogy but these aches and pains are signs that something isn’t quite right. It’s important that these signals are listened to. This is what nutritional therapy aims to do. It’s my job to figure out why these signals are being sent. By connecting the dots between seemingly unconnected symptoms and get you back to feeling great.

If we want to chop down a tree, trimming the branches isn’t going to get us very far. Short term it might work but give it a few weeks and the branches will be back stronger than ever. To remove the tree for good we need to dig up the roots and address the underlying issue. Health is no different. It’s about digging, understanding what mechanisms are at play and making the most appropriate interventions. Here we address any foundational and fundamental imbalances in your gut. I call this root cause resolution and this means you’ll see lasting change.
