Debbie Sturge Dip.ION Nutritional Therapist

Nutritional Therapy, a form of complementary medicine, uses dietary change & food supplements to provide essential nutrients for the body to heal itself naturally.

So often people are prescribed a cocktail of drugs with no real benefit, or told to learn to live with their condition. Orthodox medicine does not always have the answer.

By working alongside a qualified Nutritional Therapist, imbalances in the body may be identified & then corrected over time. As such, several appointments may be required. It’s important to bear in mind the majority of health problems occur as a result of several contributory factors & these need to be addressed in order of priority throughout a nutritional programme. It is impossible & ineffective to try to tackle everything at once! Having said that, as Nutritional Therapy is educational in part, it is not generally a long on-going therapy. Typically I may see a client 4 or 5 times.

Nutritional Therapy has been shown to help a variety of health issues including, indigestion, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, IBS and also painful stiff joints, muscle cramps, weight problems, blood pressure / cholesterol and headaches. Specific manipulation of the diet helps balance hormones, boost immune function, raise energy levels and lift mood. And you don't have to be 'ill' to benefit! Nutritional Therapy also helps boost fertility, is important for pre-conceptual care and for your general health and well-being. And for sports minded individuals, bear in mind your diet is also crucial to improve your overall fitness, stamina and performance!
