Have you ever wondered what a nutrition consultation is like? Working with me isn’t about strict diets or impossible meal plans—it’s about finding realistic, easy to implement solutions that fit your life.
I'm all about HEALTHY EATING HABITS FOR LIFE
rather than strict fad diets.
During a nutrition consultation I identify the key factors that have the biggest impact on your health. I think sometime we get caught in the minutiae of health, when it's often simple actions that have the biggest impact. Take for example, improving high blood pressure. You will see celery juice promoted as lowering blood pressure. Yes celery contains potassium which is needed for blood pressure regulation. I would have two initial thoughts, firstly do you need more potassium, ie is potassium the issue? Secondly, what is causing YOUR high blood pressure? It may simply be a case of correcting dehydration.
It can be so frustrating trying things that work for your friend but not for you. This is where I can help. We will identify what YOUR body needs and create a personalised nutrition plan. I do this through a thorough review of your diet, medical history, health concern and symptoms. I am trained in pathology interpretation, a powerful tool to further determine how your body is functioning. There is so much I can read from standard blood test results. It's fascinating!
Whether you're looking to improve gut health, boost energy, lower cholesterol or simply feel better, I create easy to implement plans suited to you.
