FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION
Functional Nutrition emphasises the importance of high quality foods and phytonutrient diversity to address clinical imbalances and move individuals toward the highest expression of health. Functional Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care.
Adequate and appropriate nutrition is crucial to healthy energy metabolism. Without the optimal daily intake of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients and energy, optimal vitality and physical performance will not be achieved. Even with what may be considered ‘adequate’ nutritional intake, energy demands may well exceed input and stores in the presence of emotional, social and physical stressors. These stressors deplete nutrient reserves through a series of biochemical pathways, which if not addressed will result in one or a number of systems being affected, in turn impacting energy levels, causing fatigue and the number of other symptoms.
Functional nutrition is tailored specifically for you, taking into account your health journey, your health goals and dietary preferences. Functional and nutrigenomics tests might be needed to make health plan and recommendations that are based on your unique biological individuality.
Functional nutrition consultations are relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, ADHD and depression; anyone with persistent digestive issues or those wishing to support an autoimmune condition, as well as those looking to enhance their health and wellbeing. Recommendations are not a replacement for medical advices or medications but frequently work alongside medical professionals to support individuals’ wellbeing.
