Nutrition

Nutritional Therapy is a process of change which manipulates the external and internal environment of the individual through diet, food supplements and education, in order to enhance health and to alleviate disease. Nutrition therapy is the use of nutrition science to treat nutritional symptoms that cause disease. The older term would be diet therapy.

Nutrition therapy focuses on food, weight, body image, physical activity and thought patterns that are keeping you from living a healthful, balanced life. It’s about finding alternatives to the diet mindset and behaviors that are non-supportive while developing an awareness of personal needs and learning how to use internal cues to manage your food and weight.
