Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional therapy uses evidence-based nutritional science alongside functional medicine principles to support health and prevent or address chronic conditions. Practitioners take a highly individualised approach, looking at diet, lifestyle, and health history to create personalised nutrition protocols.
Cultural origin
The use of food as medicine is ancient, documented in traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, ancient Greek medicine, and indigenous healing traditions worldwide. Modern nutritional therapy emerged as a distinct profession in the late 20th century.
What a session involves
An initial consultation typically lasts 60–90 minutes and involves a detailed health history, dietary assessment, and discussion of health goals. The practitioner then creates a personalised nutrition plan. Follow-up sessions review progress and adjust the plan.
Who it's for
Anyone seeking to improve their health through food and lifestyle. Nutritional therapy addresses a wide range of conditions including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, weight management, and autoimmune conditions.
