I guide you through this step by step. It’s often about establishing healthy eating patterns and habits and nourishing the body so that it has the capacity to lose weight. We can test to see if there are any functional imbalances making weight loss harder such as: hormones; thyroid; and levels of inflammation which can all be underlying factors.
Feeling tired all the time is one of the biggest complaints I hear. There are many possible root causes. It can be as simple as getting proportions of protein, fat and carbohydrate correct at each meal. However there can also be hormone and micronutrient imbalances or issues with thyroid function. Blood tests are really helpful when fatigue is present as levels of iron, folate and B12 may be underpinning different types of anaemia.
This can be a very complex area which I deal with on a daily basis. It includes IBS, IBD, SIBO, acid reflux, gout, bowel problems and issues with digestion and absorption. If your digestion doesn’t work well it’s very hard for the body to obtain the nutrients it needs to regenerate the body, which is an ongoing daily requirement. Sometimes it’s just a little advice and some support with constructing a healthy eating strategy. Sometimes it requires more long-term support to get clients back on the road to health.
Has your Dr told you, your sugar levels (Hba1c) are too high, you are pre-diabetic or diabetic? There is so much you do with diet, especially in the early stages. It’s not just what you eat but, how you eat and when you eat, plus understanding the impact of stress. These are all important pieces of the puzzle for metabolic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver conditions including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol both respond well to nutritional support. We eat very little cholesterol, the body makes it in response to how various systems are functioning or mal-functioning. How we process fats is a critical component but nutrient content of the diet and intake of trans-fats also need to be addressed, for the heart to function well.
