What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and involves the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of personalised health, peak performance and individual care. Practitioners utilise laboratory testing, medical history, diet and lifestyle analysis and extensive health & symptoms questionnaires, to provide the rationale for personalised, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle interventions, focusing on biochemical optimisation to support body systems and promote good health. Food really is medicine and so the food and drink that we consume can have a profound impact on who we are, our symptoms, health and overall wellbeing.
How does Nutritional Therapy work?
You complete an extensive health & symptoms questionnaire, as well as a dietary recall before we meet in person, or online over Zoom from the comfort of your home / work. Based on your medical history, questionnaire responses, lab test results, and health concerns, I will identify and tackle your root causes of your symptoms and health concerns, and helps me prepare to make your consultations more productive. You will participate and provide input on any recommended plans. I will then design and explain your recommended sustainable and achievable personalised diet and lifestyle plan, along with handouts and recipes to help you get started. Plans are periodically revised depending on progress.
What happens after the first consultation?
After the initial session, we will schedule follow-ups (in-person or Zoom) to assess your progress and revise your personalised plans. You will feel confident, empowered and fully supported to maintain your results. Email support is available to ask any questions out of sessions. Depending on the complexity of your health concerns and goals, sustainable changes happen over time, often fairly quickly. Depending on chosen packages, additional services such as nature trips, or grocery trips to learn where to locate key foods, special offers, or read food labels, may be arranged.
How Is Nutritional Therapy different from conventional medicine?
Nutritional therapy has a strong focus on prevention and support for any non-acute health condition(s). It can be used alongside conventional medicine interventions, but is not a replacement for it. I sometimes refer clients to GPs and other healthcare professionals whenever necessary. It's important to ensure your therapist is registered with a regulatory body. Nutritional Therapists are regulated by the UK Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). BANT full membership requires a minimum qualification of a degree in nutrition sciences and an accredited Nutritional Therapy course by the UK Nutritional Therapy Education Commission (NTEC), ensuring you are working with a highly trained, regulated and insured healthcare professional.
Who can benefit from Nutritional Therapy?
Any child or adult of any age, gender or ethnicity can benefit from Nutritional Therapy and help you reach your health goals. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of complex health conditions with amazing results - see my blogs and testimonials available on my website.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary depending on the number of sessions and complexity of your diagnosed health condition(s) and health goals. My longer-term Nutritional Therapy programs offer much better support and value for money. I recommend you contact me to arrange a complimentary 15min discovery call to discuss your specific health concerns and goals, so that a suitable plan may be recommended for you. Cost of any new foods / drinks and optional food supplements are not inclusive, but this will be kept to a minimum where possible. Some discounts may be offered depending on the agreed support plan.
Can I get my laboratory tests done through you?
I have access to best functional and diagnostic laboratories in Gibraltar, Spain, UK and USA. I often recommend (optional) private laboratory testing. Please note that the cost of private lab tests is not included in my fees, you pay at the labs. I am happy to write to your GP to request appropriate tests at no extra cost however, some tests are not available through the Gibraltar Health Authority and it would be up to the discretion of your GP or specialist (if you live locally) to agree to request them. You may also choose to do any private laboratory testing without being an existing client and at no extra cost, however, a consultation fee applies if you wish to discuss the test results further.
