What is Nutritional Therapy?
Have you ever had a bad reaction after eating something? Yes, we've all had those episodes where extra visits to the bathroom mean we ate something that didn't agree with us.
However, most of the time we are unaware of the impact that food is having on our bodies and, ultimately our current health and future health. Nutritional Therapy works within the Naturopathic principle that the body has the power to heal itself, given the right conditions as the 100 trillion cells in the human body are constantly seeking balance through homeostasis. Nutritional Therapy works within the cellular model, striving to give our cells optimal conditions. Using a holistic approach it recognises the body/mind connection and can, therefore, uncover the root cause of physical symptoms.
If we provide the cells with the correct nutrients they can function optimally, alleviating symptoms and restoring health. Working with a Therapist is immensely beneficial in highlighting areas of potential nutritional improvement; and therefore an improved health picture. Following a bespoke Treatment Plan with support can help you to create real change that is sustainable.
I also offer hair mineral analysis laboratory testing which can reveal imbalance issues that could be the underlying cause of your symptoms. Minerals are essential for maintaining your existence; hair mineral analysis reveals and explains how chemical toxicity, minerals and nutritional deficiencies and imbalances can influence your health. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis or HTMA can also reveal heavy metal toxicity which can wreak havoc with our health. It can expose issues with adrenal and thyroid function and even how our body is coping with stress. HTMA differs from blood tests as blood tests show a snapshot of what is in the blood at the moment of testing whereas hair holds a record of our nutrition for 3-4 months. The blood is very proficient in finding homeostasis within itself so imbalances are expressed elsewhere in the body and are not always visible in the blood. Although Hair Mineral Testing is not a diagnostic tool it can help to reveal underlying imbalances that may be contributing to your physical, emotional and mental health.
Having a test interpreted by a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner can help analyse how and why you manifested those imbalances and put together a treatment plan to address them and/or detox heavy metals.

I had terrible acid reflux which was gone within days of implementing the plan. It turned out I had deeper gut issues which were the root cause of many other problems. Debra helped me to heal my gut and I am now so much better!
