Nutritional therapy is part of the modern holistic approach to health care called ‘functional medicine’. Functional medicine does not focus on isolated symptoms but rather on the processes which underlie and precede them. It is suitable both for those trying to improve their health through diet and for those who are suffering from chronic disease. Nutritional therapy can be used in conjunction with traditional medicine. Nutritional therapy seeks to optimize health by considering the function of the gastrointestinal system, the cardiovascular system, the immune system and the endocrine system and nutritional and metabolic pathways. Claudine will use a comprehensive symptom, lifestyle and dietary analysis to identify the imbalances underlying your health concern and work out the impact that your current diet may be having on your health. Claudine will also use tests such as stool and urine analysis, hormone assessment, nutritional screening, neurotransmitter testing and hair mineral analysis to develop a highly targeted treatment plan which is focussed on the achievement of your health goal. Testing can also ensure efficient monitoring of your progress. Treatment methodologies include diet, nutrition and lifestyle advice and these can be combined with the appropriate use of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, herbs, amino acids, antioxidants and natural glandulars.
Claudine is a nutritionist based in Tring, Hertfordshire – “passionate about the effect of nutrition and lifestyle on health and well-being”. Nutrivite consultations are now available via Skype or Facetime |
