What is Nutritional Therapy?

“Let food by thy medicine, and medicine be thy food” (Hippocrates 460 B.C.) is one of the fundamental principles that Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, used to help people maintain optimal health. This is what Nutritional Therapy does in the 21st century.

As a holistic discipline used for thousands of years, Nutritional Therapy is now being rediscovered by modern culture. This system of healing is based on the belief that food, the way nature intended, provides our bodies with the materials necessary to achieve optimal health. Our bodies are constantly exposed to environmental toxins, lack of sunshine and exercise, prepackaged foods stripped of all their real nutrients, and stress.

In our fast-paced world, eating is often considered as a nuisance, something that interrupts our busy lives. We have to “eat fast”, maybe while working at the desk, or driving around, hence the poor choices we make (fast-food, drive-thrus, 90 second microwave meals), sacrificing the quality of the food we eat in the name of convenience.

Nutritional Therapy will help you embrace food for what it should be, our sustenance, and will teach you how to wisely nourish yourself and your loved ones.

The assessment techniques used in my practice allow me to detect and correct underlying dysfunction caused by nutritional imbalances, and to work with each client respecting their biochemical individuality.

Nutritional Therapy will benefit everyone, and it can be particularly helpful if you suffer from:

• Hypoglicemia
• GI problems (heartburn, GERD, Ibs, Ibd, Chron’s disease, Celiac sprue)
• Behavioral issues (ADD, ADHD, hyperactivity)
• Autism
• Mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia)
• Allergies and sensitivities
• Skin issues
• Hormone imbalances
• Cravings
• Low energy
• Weight loss and weight gain
• Overcoming addictions
