What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is a holistic approach to wellness, it is based on the functional medicine approach to health, which aims to provide the body with what it needs to rebalance and restore health.
​
I take a scientific approach to health and our plans are evidence based. I incorporate the latest research on diet and lifestyle to give you a plan that is based on science and not guesswork.
​
To help get to the root cause of health conditions, I have access to laboratory testing, including stool, blood, hormone and DNA. I will also refer you back to the GP if free NHS tests are required.
