NUTRITIONAL MEDICINE
Harness the power of nutrition
Functional nutrition for whole-body health
Nutrition provides the building blocks for good health
Nutritional medicine is powerful stuff. What and how you eat and drink affects every cell and system in your body. If you want to improve your health, your nutrition is a great place to start.
That’s why functional nutrition is at the heart of everything I do.
Functional nutrition examines the therapeutic value of nutrients, targeting change to physical and psychological well-being. It combines naturopathic principles with specific biochemical observations to provide therapeutic treatment.
What Goes In
Most people never realize that what we consume directly affects every part of our physical and mental well being. Beyond how we physically feel, our mind and mood is directly affected by nutrition.
We build a custom health plan for you using relationship centered care and advanced testing. Our philosophy of health is based on a balance of mind, body and spirit.
Learn what, when, how to eat, and why this best suits you
Often the hardest part of making changes is knowing what to do.
As a Nutritionist, I help cut through the many conflicting trends and get to what best works for you, your body, mind, genetics and lifestyle.
Customising your nutrition, tailoring your diet and lifestyle, I guide and support you to achieve your wellness goals.
We now know that you are what you eat, and importantly, what you digest and absorb.
Proper digestive function and gut health are key to ensuring optimal nutrient levels for better health outcomes.
I use proven functional nutrition strategies combined with naturopathy, optimising digestion, mind-body therapies and a functional medicine approach to lay the foundation for good health.
How I use functional nutrition to help you
Food as Medicine.
Healing from within relies on the foods we eat and the nutrients they provide. Healthy eating has become complicated with lots of misinformation. I provide tailored and scientifically-backed advice that makes sense and works best for you.
Nutrient Absorption.
You are what you eat, but importantly, what you absorb. I address your digestive function and gut health, teach you mindful-eating practices to ensure you’re absorbing what you eat for optimal nutrient levels
Mood Food.
In line with nutritional psychiatry research, I prescribe powerful mood-food options to balance neurotransmitters supporting mood, relaxation, focus, cognition, sleep and energy.
Advanced Nutrient Therapy.
I assess individual biochemistry, nutrient deficiencies to correct imbalances with targeted nutrient and amino acid therapy. Orthomolecular nutrition is applied to prescribe large doses of nutrients to address any long-term deficiencies or imbalances. With extensive experience in genetics, methylation, MTHFR and Pyrrole Disorder I tailor effective nutrient treatments for anxiety, ADHD, depression, insomnia, addictions and low cognition function.
Nutrigenomics.
I specialise in nutrigenomic testing to identify your unique nutrition-based genetic profile and create highly-personalised nutritional treatment plans for preventing disease, optimising health and longevity.
Functional Testing.
Comprehensive assessment of food allergies, digestion, gut health, methylation, toxins, nutritional and metabolic markers may be needed. Accurate analysis of labs and functional testing helps me get get the complete picture to customise your treatment.
Empowering Change.
I teach you what your body needs and how to nourish yourself. I support, guide and motivate you to make changes. Sometimes willpower and motivation aren’t enough to change or break bad habits, so I retrain your brains’ neural pathways to empower lifelong positive changes.
Healthy Food/Body Relationship.
Developing a healthy relationship with food and your body observing how the two interact is where real transformations in your health occur. Transform your relationship with food and body image using hypnotherapy, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), EFT- tapping, mindful eating and coaching.
