Functional nutrition focuses on the individual instead of disease. It is personalised method of optimising health based on individual genetics, lab values, lifestyle and much more
WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE PROFESSIONAL NUTRITION CONSULTATION? 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 and environmental stressors like mould toxicity, heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics in food and water, and other chemicals . 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, inflammation 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 recommended for everyone looking to enhance their health and wellbeing, but especially for individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, hormonal imbalances, menopause, ADHD and depression, persistent digestive issues.
Nutritional recommendations are not a replacement for medical advices or medications but work alongside medical professionals to support your health and wellbeing.
