Nutritional Therapy
‘Optimum Nutrition is the Medicine of the Future’ – Linus Pauling
More people are realising that their health problems, along with excess weight and low energy, are caused largely by poor food and eating habits. Because we all differ in the foods that suit us best and harm us most – ‘one man’s meat is another’s poison’ – the input of an experienced Nutritional Therapist often proves key to the client’s improved condition.
Ireland’s first dedicated Nutritional Therapy Clinic
The IINH Nutritional Therapy clinic in Bray is staffed by our fully qualified and experienced graduates. At the initial appointment, the nutritional therapist first completes a detailed health, diet and lifestyle questionnaire that will help identify any problem foods and nutritional factors in the person’s diet. Diet and lifestyle recommendations are then formulated and explained, based on the presenting condition and nutritional needs, while taking into account the client’s situation, food preferences and motivation level, among other things. Functional tests may be suggested for further clarification. By the first or second follow-up consultation, most clients have already noticed clear improvements and are well on the way to restoring their health and vitality.
Conditions that often respond well to nutritional therapy include:
- Digestive disorders: constipation, IBS, bloating, heartburn, reflux
- Low energy & vitality, food cravings, low blood sugar
- Poor sleep
- Hormonal imbalances: PMS, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, menopause difficulties
