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.
