Nutritional Consultancy
Naturopathic Nutrition can help a wide range of health problems with the use of whole and organic foods together with appropriate supplements and natural therapies.
Treating people, not symptoms: each person is treated as an individual and each programme is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Careful consideration is given to lifestyle, personality and time frame as well as the presenting symptoms. The root cause of a problem is identified and then positive changes to diet are used to help reverse the course of the complaint, thus bringing the body back into balance and ultimately good health.
The power of nutrition should not be underestimated. Many people are becoming interested in the importance of a healthy diet and the true therapeutic value of food. The fact that a positive change in diet can be used to slow down, halt or even reverse the course of disease is now widely accepted. Naturopathic Nutrition is much more than keeping well by eating a healthy diet it is about gaining 'optimal health for life'.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify imbalances in the body. Click here for more on Food Intolerance Testing.

Food Intolerance Testing

- Catarrh
- Headaches or migraines
- Aching joints

This is a simple and non-invasive test which pinpoints potentially harmful foods and drinks. The test is performed using a Bioenergetics Resonance machine which measures electro-acupuncture points - a Vega Machine. This machine measures changes in the body's resistance to individual substances which are presented into the machine in glass vials. The test is painless using a probe similar to a retractable ballpoint pen which is pressed onto the fingertip, an electrode is held in the other hand acting as an inductor.
The original concept was developed in Germany by Dr Reinhold Voll during 1950's and is widely used by doctors and natural healthcare practitioners.
Before the test you will be asked to complete a simple questionnaire which will provide important information on your general health and wellbeing.
The test results are provided immediately together with personalised advice on how to safely eliminate any foods or drinks which are harmful to you. It is important that a follow-up appointment is arranged within a week of the test to receive a full nutritional consultation and programme, during this session you will be advised on healthy alternatives to your diet and any supplements or holistic therapies which may be relevant to you.
NB. This test is not suitable for those fitted with a pacemaker.
