Stress
How is it that some people seem to cope effortlessly with stress
while others develop symptoms such as headaches, mood swings, exhaustion, high
blood pressure, insomnia and depression?
It isn’t just personality – good nutrition greatly increases your
ability to withstand stress. For example, stress increases the rate at which
your body uses up B-Vitamins. If the demand isn’t met, you become much less
able to produce energy, fight infections and detoxify.
Nutritional Therapy explores the effects stress has on your
health, and over 4-6 weeks aims to boost your stress tolerance, equip you with
stress-busting techniques and significantly increase your ability to cope with
whatever life throws at you!
When was the last time you bounced out of bed brimming with
energy and zest for the day ahead? Can’t remember? These days more people than
ever complain about feeling constantly exhausted. Busy lives and lack of sleep
do take their toll on our energy reserves, but with the right nutrition and
lifestyle techniques, modern life doesn’t mean you have to be ‘tired-all-the-time’.
Nutritional Therapy seeks to identify the underlying
factors that can cause excessive fatigue, for example lack of essential
nutrients for energy production at a cellular level.
Over the course of 4-6 weeks, the treatment program aims to
support your body’s energy production and put the spring back in your
step!
There is only ONE cause of excess weight: energy storage
exceeding energy expenditure. However, there are many possible reasons for that
imbalance, ranging from a hormone imbalance to a single nutrient deficiency.
Nutritional Therapy seeks to identify to identify the
underlying factors affecting your weight, and once the missing link has been
identified, you may see significant weight loss without having to watch the
calories.
Hormones
Painful, heavy or irregular periods? Mood swings? Spots?
Menopausal symptoms? Most women experience symptoms of hormonal imbalances from
time to time, but proper nutrition is vital for hormone health.
Evening Primrose Oil is a popular supplement, but there are
many more dietary factors which can be brought in to enable you to sail through
hormone changes.
Digestion
Watch a few ad breaks and it seems as though it’s perfectly
normal to have heart burn, constipation, diarrhoea and leave the bathroom
smelly!
As well as being unpleasant, these ‘normal’ problems are
warning signs of digestive systems struggling to cope, and indigestion tablets
and air-fresheners do nothing to address the causes.
Nutritional Therapy seeks to identify and address the
factors that may be affecting your digestive health. Over 4-6 weeks, the
treatment programme aims to support your digestive system and improve its
functioning. Good digestion is so crucial to health that you may quickly notice
other health improvements too!
The most sophisticated defence system on the planet, but so
often taken for granted…until things go wrong! Hay Fever? Frequent or stubborn
infections? Abnormal smear tests?
Nutritional
Therapy seeks to establish which factors may be affecting your immunity and by
addressing those factors, aims to normalise immune function.
