Whole Food Matters

Nutritional Therapy

Aims to improve health by using fresh, whole, unprocessed, nutritious foods and some supplements to reduce the symptoms of many conditions. It helps to correct nutritional deficiencies, resolve food intolerances and improve digestion – which is the key to good health.

During a consultation, I work through a questionnaire with you that looks at your current health status and at any previous medical conditions which may be relevant. Each person is different, so each treatment plan is individual and unique to that person. You will be offered nutritional and lifestyle information to help deal with your current health problem. With practical guidance including recipes, you will learn how to incorporate a new, healthier way of eating into your life.

Nutritional Therapy can help in the treatment of the following conditions:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Digestive Disorders

Food Intolerances

Allergies

High Blood Pressure

High Cholesterol

Weight problems

Low Energy

Mood Swings

Depression

Menopause

Hormonal problems

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Fertility problems

Stress

Joint Pain

ADHD

Autism

Cancer

And many more………..

Zest4life – Patrick Holford’s Nutrition and Weight loss Programme

Patrick Holford is one of the UK’s most respected Nutritionists and he has devised the Zest4life programme along with a team of psychologists to address all aspects of weight loss.

The programme runs over 6 weeks or longer if required on a one to one consultation basis. Each weekly session consists of a weigh in on Tanita body composition analyser scales and motivational coaching to encourage and help each person succeed in their goal to lose weight healthily. Any other health concerns can also be addressed during the sessions. We follow a Low Glycaemic (Low GL) diet which uses only healthy and natural foods, which when eaten regularly increase energy and welbeing by balancing blood sugarr levels. No food groups are left out and there are no gimmicks – just good healthy foods – this is a diet for life.

Participants also benefit from nutritional education as part of the programme. Zest4life is also beneficial to those who might not have much weight to lose but wish to increase their energy and improve their diet.

Two booklets – one is the Motivation manual and the other is the Nutritional and Weightloss Success Formula manual written by Patrick are also included in the cost of the 6 week programme which is 200 euro.

I am a registered  Zest4life practitioner licensed with Patrick Holford.

I am now offering a nutritional consultation specifically aimed at couples in preconceptual care to maximise their chances of conceiving a healthy baby.

Many nutrients are missing in today’s fast food diet. The aim of this consultation is to help couples understand the importance of eating a healthy diet while they are trying for a baby and making sure the key nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy are included in their diet. Making great food choices, meal planning, shopping for the right ingredients and recipes will all be included in the consultation. Advice about which supplements to take will also be given.
