Body systems
Optimum nutrition is fundamental for good health. Most of us recognise that eating the wrong foods may lead to ill health. By the same token eating the right foods can support bodily functions and maintain peak health.
I work using nutritional and lifestyle approaches to facilitate:
• Hormonal (endocrine) health – an umbrella phrase that incorporates several bodily functions such as the thyroid, adrenals, HPA axis, sex hormones especially before and during ovulation/period (emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing)
• Healthy looking skin, hair and nails
• Maintain ideal weight
• Fertility in women and men
• Gastrointestinal and digestive wellness
• Promote good energy levels throughout the day. Being able to wake up without coffee, avoid energy dips in the afternoon, feeling tired after meals. This is very common after having had children, working in stressful environments or having a stressful job
• Tolerance to a broad range of foods, food groups and environmental/airborne agents
• Encourage sound sleep
• Promote feelings of wellbeing / an ability to adapt to the pressures of a modern lifestyle. Managing physical, psycological and emotional happiness
Support normal bodily functions (cardiovascular and circulatory system, immune system, respiratory system, nervous system, endocrine system, musculoskeletal system, reproductive system, urinary system)
• Promote a slower aging process
