Approach Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition and health science to enable individuals to optimise their health potential. It is client centered and a systems based biology approach that focuses on finding the root cause of ill health. Nutritional Therapy may help to alleviate a wide range of conditions and support recovery using food and – where appropriate – dietary supplements. It is intended to complement medicine and to support your medical practitioner’s diagnosis and treatment plan. Dietary changes may be made under the supervision of a medical doctor. It promotes the benefits of good, wholesome, unprocessed foods for optimal well being, as well as the therapeutic effects of particular foods for specific health conditions.
