What is Nutritional Therapy?
It is a holistic and personalised practice based on the principles of Functional Medicine, taking into account your own unique biochemistry, health journey, health goals, current lifestyle and dietary preferences.
My support goes beyond nutrition, taking into account all aspects of your life—from what and how you eat, to how you sleep, manage stress, move, breathe, and more. As part of my in-depth approach, I also collaborate with advanced functional testing companies to gain insights into your unique biology, allowing for highly personalised interventions.
Nutritional therapy is relevant for anyone looking to enhance their health and wellbeing, as well as those seeking to support conditions such as PCOS, gestational diabetes, autoimmunity, postnatal depletion, IBS/IBD, and more.
Here are just a few ways I may support you:
Optimising nutrient status
Hormone balance
Supporting healthy thyroid function
Microbiome support (gut, vaginal, urinary)
Optimising natural detoxification pathways
Balancing inflammation
Sleep hygiene and nervous system regulation
Blood sugar balance
Stabilising energy levels
Improving macronutrient balance
Strategies for healthy weight management
Recommended laboratory tests may include:
Functional blood chemistry
Functional GI testing (stool, breath)
Microbiome tests (gut, vaginal, urinary)
Why might this be relevant to me?
There are many reasons you might consider working with me. Below are just a few examples of the kinds of health goals you may have.
Preconception
You may be about to start trying for a baby and want to understand how best to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy, or to better understand your menstrual cycle and fertile window.
You may be about to start IVF and want to optimise your egg and sperm health for the best chance of success.
You may have been trying for a while and wanting to explore whether there could be an underlying imbalance to address, and to understand how how diet and lifestyle changes could potentially help.
Perhaps you are unsure how to best support your fertility following a diagnosis of PCOS or endometriosis.
Pregnancy
Perhaps you are confused by all of the conflicting information out there and seeking science-backed guidance on eating for each trimester to best support your body’s changing needs and manage pesky pregnancy symptoms (such as nausea, constipation and heartburn).
You may have received a recent diagnosis of gestational diabetes and want to understand how best to manage your blood glucose levels, or understand which supplements can be taken safely alongside any medication you may be taking.
You may want to prepare for postpartum and receive guidance on nourishing foods and the best supplements to help with recovery.
Postpartum
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted and unsure if the symptoms you are experiencing are a normal part of new motherhood or something more.
Perhaps you are worried about whether you are eating the right foods to sustain you and your baby’s body during breastfeeding.
You may feel like you are wasting precious time googling for answers to your health concerns when really, you just need some clear, personalised expert guidance and support.
Perhaps you are concerned about lingering ‘baby weight’ but unsure how to safely address this and in need of realistic practical advice.
Still unsure if I can help?
