Nutritional therapy goes beyond the basics of healthy eating, and focuses on finding and addressing the root causes of individual imbalances. It is based on the principles of naturopathy and functional medicine, combining knowledge of up to date medical science, with the wisdom and tradition of natural medicine. Each patient is seen as unique, and their diet, lifestyle, circumstances and personality are reviewed and taken into consideration for creating a personalised nutrition plan, rather than a "one size fits all" approach. I have studied naturopathic nutrition/nutritional therapy with CNM - the College of Naturopathic Medicine, one of the most well known and highly respected training providers in natural medicine, in the UK and Ireland. I am a full member of BANT (British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy), which acts as a professional body for nutritional therapy practitioners and promotes high standards of education, training, practice and integrity.
