Nutritional Therapy is much more than just dietary advice!!  Having spent 2 years working under the guidance and supervision of a celebrated Functional Medicine Practitioner (Institute of Functional Medicine), I work ‘functionally’ which means that I aim to identify the root cause of symptoms or health conditions.  So, not looking only at symptoms or bodily systems in silos, but looking holistically at my client and putting the pieces of their health journey puzzle together for them.

 

This joined-up thinking and way of supporting the body is hugely beneficial and something not offered in current allopathic medicine.

 

It involves taking a very detailed health history over 60-75 minutes, creating a timeline of events, establishing known or potential triggers, and identifying mediators prolonging the symptoms/condition/environment. 

 

After the initial consultation, I will provide an action plan, encompassing:

• dietary guidance

• lifestyle advice

• any recommended supplements

• functional tests if relevant 

• helpful handouts

• next steps and follow ups

 

Follow ups are recommended every 6-8 weeks and last up to 55 minutes. 

​

I am very experienced in the following tests on top of Blood Marker analysis:

 

• Dutch Urine Hormone Testing (Complete, Plus and Cycle Mapping)

• GI 360 Stool and Microbiome Testing including Helicobacter pylori

• Organic Acids Testing (OATS)

• Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profile (urine)

• Cyrex Panels Arrays: 5, 10, 11, 12, 14

• Toxic Metals (urine)

• KBMO Food Intolerance Test and Gut Barrier Panel

• Vibrant America: Total Tox, Tick Borne, Whole Blood Nutrients, Mycotoxins, Wheat Zoomer 

 

I have analysed and interpreted well over 100 Dutch tests now and benefitted from significant long term training by Dutch HQ, in order to support my Hormone clients to the very best of my ability.
