Nutritional Therapy is based on the principle that when given the optimal nutrients (through individually tailored programs based on wholesome foods and  with the use of supplements, as needed)  and with adequate rest and  hydration, the body by its nature, re-balances  and heals itself.

This is not a new concept but scientific research and information that is widely available confirms what individual  nutrients and foods, used therapeutically, do to the health of specific organs, body systems and hormones.

As defined by the British Association for Nutritionl Therapy - Optimum nutrition encompasses individual prescriptions for diet and lifestyle in order to alleviate or prevent aliments and to promote optimal gene expression through all life stages. Recommendations may include guidance on natural detoxification, procedures to promote colon health, methods to support  digestion and absorption, the avoidance of toxins or allergens and the appropriate use of supplementary nutrients, including phytonutrients. Nutritional therapists advise on each person's unique dietary and nutritional needs for metabolic and hormonal homeostasis, using a variety of biochemical and functional test to inform recommended protocols and programmes’.
