About Nutrition
Dieting is about losing weight, but the sad fact is that ‘diets’ do not work. Dieting often results in short term weight loss followed by rebound weight gain with many dieters ending up the same weight, and unfortunately some even heavier. Sustainable, long-term weight management, is about being healthy, rather than about being skinny. Approaching weight loss in this way ensures that your metabolism and hormones stay balanced, cravings and hunger are reduced or eliminated, and energy levels stay regular or are improved.
The importance of good nutrition
Good nutrition is vital for your good health. In order to feel great, have lots of energy and look your best you need a healthy and well balanced diet. In much the same way as oil, water and petrol is to the car, so you need to provide your body with the raw materials it needs to function optimally.
While an apple is better for us than a candy bar, sometimes good nutrition is more than just common sense. Everybody’s body is unique, and has nutritional needs that are specific. Optimal nutrition means getting the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, plus all the vitamins, minerals, fibre, water and anti-oxidants to suit the individual needs of your body.

What to expect from a consultation
After filling in a nutrition questionnaire, the consultation contains three main components:
1) The first focuses on gaining an insight into your current health goals, concerns and history.
2) The second looks at what might be contributing to the problems you are having or the obstacles preventing you from achieving your goal, and aims to help you understand your body and health better.
3) The third is the plan of action. This will involve dietary and lifestyle changes.
Some laboratory testing may be used to further investigate causes and contributing factors undermining your health. Food and dietary supplements may also be incorporated to support the plan of action and address any potential nutrient deficiencies.
How many treatments are necessary?
One initial treatment, with 2 follow-up visits are usual. Ongoing support may be required if underlying health conditions or illnesses are present or you feel that you require the additional support.
Cost
Initial Consultations are priced at £150, with follow-up consultations costing £100. Laboratory testing and any supplements are charged additionally as required.
