Nutritional Analysis & Functional Testing
Our approach to a Nutritional Consultation
We listen empathetically to your needs and goals, which are thereby clearly defined at the beginning of the consultation, and strategies are then discussed and supported by a comprehensive written and personalised nutritional programme.
Recommendations are made to suit your budget, lifestyle, tastes, preferences and timetable.
Emotional support
Goal-balancing and emotional support are available together with motivational techniques to achieve lasting changes and positive, health-enhancing dietary choices. See Kinesiology and Emotional Balancing for more information.
Nutritional Analysis
The subject of human nutrition and its implications in health and symptom management have been the topic of much research, debates and seemingly contradictory findings.
The concept of a healthy diet has evolved radically over the last 10 years and has left many people confused whilst doing nothing to stop the endemic spread of obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular diseases and other chronic/degenerative conditions.
The truth is that a healthy diet is a very personal thing which not only embodies nutritional principles but also personal values, genetic predisposition and behaviour. For this reason, a client-centered analysis of someone’s nutritional and health status is the key part of a consultation designed to improve health, longevity and resilience in times of stress.
A thorough case-history is taken to identify individual needs in relation to symptoms, metabolism, body type and genetic tendencies, and to establish their unique relationship with food, nourishment and self-care.
Functional testing
Stool, urine and blood tests are available to support a more tailored analysis of specific functional disturbances.
Some of the tests available are:
- Stool Tests for microbiome status, digestive health, gut function and infections (e.g. parasitic)
- Urine tests for hormonal status and clearance and for valuable insights about oestrogen, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid function, and neurotransmitters status
- Urine tests for toxicity status with respect to e.g. mould, glyphosate, heavy metals and more
- Blood tests for food sensitivities
- Blood tests for auto-immune conditions, liver/kidney function, full blood count and more
