Why Nutritional Therapy?

Whether it is for a specific reason or just to stay fit and healthy, nutritional therapy can be invaluable to most people. It can help control diet related illnesses like diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome through understanding what kind of foods to eat more of and what foods to avoid. 

How it helped me
Before I discovered nutritional therapy, I knew that I didn’t eat enough vegetables but after my consultation I realised the root cause of my IBS symptoms were due to eating too much of the same foods and in particular wheat.  My food diary consisted of shredded wheat for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and home made pasta for dinner.  

What happened next?
I was put on an elimination diet of no wheat and no dairy for 3 weeks. Having been a normal weight and never been on a diet, this was quite a shock to the system, though I noticed the bloating had disappeared. 

The Result
I went on to lose 9lbs in 3 weeks by completely removing all foods containing wheat from my diet. I emerged with bags of energy, brighter skin and the bloating had disappeared. 

  • My diet had changed from eating wheat at every meal to more oily fish, lots of green leafy vegetables and a rainbow of fruit and vegetables. I discovered nut butters and oatcakes as healthy snacks and the odd bit of organic dark chocolate to curb my sweet cravings. 
  • My stressful career in media sales had taken its toll over the years and nutritional therapy showed me how I could take care of my health through eating the right foods to control my symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome as well as learning about the health properties of foods.
