Nutritional Therapy

In order to facilitate recovery, the body must be fuelled correctly, have access to not only adequate nutrition but optimum nutrition and be primed to use those nutrients that we ingest. Unfortunately this is an area that is commonly overlooked by many health professionals.

Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns.

Nutritional therapists consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. They may use dietary and lifestyle advice as well as some carefully selected nutritional supplements to help achieve an optimal nutritional status.

Personalised nutrition is tailored specifically for you, taking into account your health journey, your health goals and dietary preferences. The practitioner may use functional tests to inform the recommendations that are based on your unique biological individuality.

Personalised nutrition consultations are relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis; anyone with persistent digestive issues or those wishing to support an autoimmune condition, as well as those looking to enhance their health and wellbeing and vitality.

BANT practitioners do not diagnose or treat disease but are skilled at knowing when additional investigations by other health professionals are required to get a diagnosis.
