Nutritional TherapyNutritional therapy is a science-based discipline seeking to address the root cause(s) of ill-health, rather than simply suppressing the symptoms. Health issues are generally the result of imbalances in our body's functional systems (eg. our processes of digestion, defence from infection, tissue repair, hormonal communication, detoxification or energy production may not be working as they should). By providing the body with tailored nutritional support designed to rebalance these systems and restore function, nutritional therapy helps reduce the expression of symptoms and nurtures a return to health.
In order to explain this further, we could consider allergies as an example. Many of us are aware that the symptoms of allergy often present as inflammation of the skin, nasal passages, eyes or mouth. Did you know however, that for some individuals, allergies can often be the result of poor gut health and an associated 'over-stimulation' of the immune system.
In a case such as this, a nutritionist would aim to lessen the expression of 'allergy symptoms' by developing a targetted strategy to restore gut health and rebalance the immune system.
