Given the right nutrients your body can heal itself.
Nutritional therapy uses food as medicine, (just as nature intended) to correct physiological and neurological symptoms rather than needing to turn to conventional medicine that often suppresses or gives you a new set of unwanted symptoms.

Fats are vital for your body. They are needed to produce hormones and synthesised from HDL cholesterol. Certain vitamins, called fat-soluble vitamins can only be absorbed with fat.
However, there are good and bad fats (to be avoided). Good fats are, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, found in vegetables, nuts, seeds, and oily fish. Bad fats, are trans fats are what to be avoided.
-
Trans fats naturally begin as vegetable oils in liquid form, but through a manufacturing process called hydrogenation they get turned from liquid into solid fats. This process causes the vegetable fat to take on saturated fat properties making it unhealthy.
Eating foods rich in trans fats increases the amount of harmful LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream and reduces the amount of beneficial HDL cholesterol. Trans fats create inflammation, which is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. They contribute to insulin resistance, which increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

A nutritionist is trained to help you reach your goals in a way that fits into your lifestyle.
Generally after completing the 6 week programme, (as long as you’re well and symptom free) I recommend the 80/20 rule. Clean eating 80% of the time, then allow yourself some treats.
I am not a purist, but will teach what foods produce which symptoms, so you can take control of your health and achieve wellness beyond working with me.
