Nutritional therapy is a science-based, yet holistic, approach to illness and health. It promotes treatment of the whole person and focuses on causes and prevention of illness rather than merely suppression of symptoms. A major emphasis of the therapy is recognising that each of us is biochemically unique and that effective treatment needs to be custom-tailored to each person's individual needs.

The approach involves you and your Practitioner working together to ascertain details of your health, both past and present. Information will be gathered about your symptoms, family medical history, lifestyle, diet, and the environment in which you live and work. These have an important bearing on your well-being and will help your Practitioner to construct a comprehensive picture of your health and devise a programme of treatment for your needs.
