Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian, Vegan, Pescetarian, Mediterranean…
Should you be intermittent fasting or not? And what about time restricted feeding? Or Juicing? Are smoothies ‘good’ or do they have too much sugar?? It’s easy to understand why we can get so confused about what to eat! With so much ‘noise’ in the nutritional space and on social media, it can be hard to differentiate what’s healthy and what just looks healthy.
Find the right nutrition solution
Our naturopaths are also degree-qualified nutritionists.
They can use their years of research experience to help you press the mute button and quiet the background noise so we can find the right nutrition solution that works for you and your situation. The truth of the matter is that healthy eating can look different for everyone and ultimately depends on what you’re trying to achieve. A pregnant woman’s nutritional needs are very different to a male triathlete!
However sometimes we need to fine tune this for specific situations. This might include:
- Nutrition for sporting performance
- Nutrition for hormone balance and support, specifically preconception, pregnancy, PCOS and Endometriosis.
- Nutrition for gut health conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Coeliac Disease.
- Nutrition for special dietary requirements for example if you have chosen to go vegan or vegetarian or if you are unable to eat certain foods due to allergies or intolerances.
- Nutrition for metabolic health including weight loss, cholesterol management and blood pressure control.
When you work with our naturopathic nutritionists, we focus on teaching you the ‘how’, not just the ‘what’.
Ever heard that saying ‘you give a man a fish and you feed him for one meal; you teach a man to fish and you feed him for the rest of his life.’ Our approach to nutrition is just that. We want to teach you how to eat well and nourish your body every day, for the rest of your life. We’re not into challenges, strict meal plans, counting calories or endless amounts of food recording… Eating is something we do multiple times per day, so we want to show you how simple and enjoyable it can be!
Food (and eating) represents so much more than calories/kilojoules. We use food to connect, to celebrate and to sometimes, commiserate, but it’s also about understanding how we connect with our food. Do we use specific foods in certain situations to ‘get’ something? Comfort, joy/pleasure, stress relief, distraction…Our naturopathic nutritionists will work with you to not just help you eat better, but to also help you understand how you connect with food, ensuring a long lasting and healthy relationship.
