Nutrition
Good nutrition is essential for a healthy mind & body
Nutritional Therapy uses science-based research and applies this to promote wellbeing and health. Diet plays a huge role in our wellbeing – it enables us to maintain focus and improves brain function. It helps with stress reduction as certain foods can increase the stress response and reduce a person’s ability to cope under pressure. Therapists also look at lifestyle as this will influence diet choices. It is recognised that this is not a one size fits all approach and that it is important to identify the foods and lifestyle patterns individuals currently have before making recommendations.
Nutritional Therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Workplace stress & nutrition
Stress is common place and ever increasing in the workplace. Some of it is good for us but prolonged stress causes damage to our wellbeing – mentally, physically and in our gut. There is huge amounts of supporting evidence that shows your gut bacteria is influenced by stress and the way we cope with stress. This in turn affects our nutrient absorption and a long chain of issues. Our food choices also affect our ability to cope with stress and indicate if we are stressed.
This workshop is a great in-depth look at why we make choices and how they affect our stress response and what we can do about it.

Nutrition Immunity
Our immunity is dependant on many factors and our food types and gut flora play a huge role in ensuring we can fight off bugs. For example, depending on your gut flora type you may be able to fight off a large number of unwanted and dangerous Salmonella bacteria but with other people with a less balanced gut flora, they may become very ill with the same number of bacteria. Improving our diet and gut health betters our chances to stay healthy.
This workshop provides some in depth detail on theory and good practices to ensure we can do our best for our immune systems.
