Frequently Asked Questions

What is Natural Nutrition?

Natural Nutrition is about getting to the underlying cause of the issue, rather than just dealing with symptoms. It is a holistic way of looking at the body and mind to truly have an understanding of what health is.

I believe the body is amazing, and knows what it needs to thrive, but the problem is that due to the stresses we now put it under it struggles to find balance, which is when we get symptoms of illness. We want to work with the body, not fight it and going against what it needs to do. Natural Nutrition is about helping to find that balance once more so you can THRIVE, and not just survive. Your health really is your greatest asset!

So, what are the stresses we put our body under? In order to keep in perfect harmony, your body needs an amazing array of nutrients, many of which are not stored by the body and therefore need stocking up every day. If you are not giving your body those essential ingredients so it can function optimally, can you really expect it to continue functioning well? If you put diesel in your petrol car, what happens? It's going to break down isn't it? It's exactly the same way with your body, if you don't give it want it needs it won't work!

I love baking and know that if I miss out a certain ingredient, or put too much or too little of an ingredient in, the end result may still be edible, but just won't taste right. The body is like this, it may still work even if given the wrong ingredients, but something will just not be right with it, and over time conditions will arise.

As well as nutrients to feed your body, just as important what is going on in your head? Have you ever tried to eat when you are really upset or angry? Difficult isn't it? This is because your body fluids have diverted away from your digestive tract to your arms and legs instead. You have gone into flight or fight mode, which goes back to our hunter gatherer days when we had to be ready to run from a predator or fight to the death! Our bodies haven't evolved away from this, so when we are stressed it is natural response. But what if we are not actually upset or angry, but just feeling overwhelmed by what we have going on in our lives, have negative emotions or just not happy with our lot? We find ourselves in a position where we are functioning in a slight flight or fight mode constantly. The body then will struggle to keep in balance, as it can't be in flight or fight and growth and repair at the same time. Therefore what is going on in our lives will have just a big an impact on our health as what we are eating. The problem in further exacerbated by what we are putting into our mouths, causing biological changes in our bodies that prevent us from dealing appropriately to everyday stresses. So it is a vicious circle.

Natural Nutrition can help you to switch off this flight and fight mode and get back into growth and repair, which is when you will really see amazing changes in your physical and mental health.

How can Natural Nutrition help me?

Natural Nutrition advice can help YOU with any health concern, such as Allergies, Arthritis, Candida, Headaches, Fatigue, Depression, PMT, Menopausal symptoms, Weight issues, IBS, High cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, ME and many more. Most conditions are a result of imbalances in the biochemistry of the body brought about by what we are putting into our bodies.

If you are serious about wanting to truly heal your body consultations can really help put you on the right track, and keep you there.

What happens at a one to one consultation?

When looking at health issues, I spend a lot of time exploring your history, which can take up to 1 1/2 hours. This can be very enlightening and lead to the root cause of what is happening to your body and the symptoms you are experiencing. My fundamental belief is that with the right ingredients in place your body has the ability to heal. My main aim is to educate and motivate my clients to get the best out of their lives. You will go away with a practical and achievable individualised plan tailored to fit in with your needs, time constraints and budget.

Do you do testing?

Although not usually necessary, as we are looking at the whole body rather than the symptoms, sometimes these are very helpful in determining exactly what you are suffering from, or whether you have a particular deficiency or food intolerance. For more information on tests offered click here.
See Lab testing for more

How many appointments will I need?

You will need the initial consultation and a follow up 3 to 4 weeks later. Depending on your condition, you may need additional support thereafter perhaps every 6 weeks or so.
It really does depend on where you are now, and how far you have to go.

Will I need supplements?

In an ideal world we would eat highly nutritious foods and would not be exposed to pollution therefore we would not need supplements. This is clearly not the case these days.

The vitamin and mineral content in our fruits and vegetables has decreased dramatically in the last 50 years which is having serious implications on our health, especially as we actually need more these days to cope with our lifestyles and environmental pollution.

How much do you charge?

Initial consultation (1½ hours) £60.00

Follow up consultation (45 mins) £30.00
