Nutritional medicine

Optimum nutrition provides the raw materials for repair and to rebuild our health, as every single molecule of our bodies is derived from what we eat and drink.

Yet our diets have changed radically over the last fifty years, as has the nutritional content of our food. During this time there has been a sharp rise in chronic and degenerative health conditions, as well as obesity, so guidance on optimum nutrition has become increasingly important. In fact, the World Health Organisation believes that up to 80% of illnesses are diet-related.

The ultimate goal of nutritional therapy is to establish and address the underlying reason for your health complaints, instead of treating them symptomatically. Kirsten will encourage your body’s own healing ability with a nutritional program tailored to your unique biochemical requirements. She will analyse your health status, your nutrient levels and absorption capacity to correct any possible deficiencies and rebalance your body. It may also mean minimising your toxic exposure (where possible) and providing specific nutritional support to organs or systems in distress. Your own health goals, lifestyle and budget will be taken into account and will be followed up with support and encouragement. If you are receiving any medical treatment, her plan for you will be safe and work alongside it.
