If you’ve ever felt
overwhelmed or just plain confused about the types of foods that are good for
you, then you're not alone. Everyday we're bombarded by advertisements
and the media, all giving conflicting advice about the types of food that we
should eat.
Based on this information
most people are doing their best to eat what is generally considered to be a
healthy diet, only to be continually frustrated by an inability to lose weight
and achieve a feeling of wellbeing.
Everyday millions of
people suffer from diseases which are largely preventable (i.e. heart disease,
depression, diabetes, obesity, etc.). Often these diseases develop as a result
of poor diet and lifestyle choices and numerous other underlying causes such as
chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, food allergies, nutritional
deficiencies, stress, dysfunctional relationships, environmental toxins, etc.
But did you know that
everyone has different nutritional needs? Not all foods are good for
everyone. So it’s important to find out the exact foods which are
beneficial and detrimental to YOUR health. As a Naturopath I treat the
person not the disease. Everyone is different. What produces a
headache in one person may produce constipation in another person. Naturopathy, Nutrition and Naturopathic weight loss is about getting to know YOU and what conditions YOU are
susceptible to. Knowing this information can mean the difference between
feeling rundown, overweight, tired and depressed or being full of energy and
achieving a natural healthy weight.
Correcting nutritional
deficiencies can make a tremendous difference to your overall health and
wellbeing. A deficiency of even one nutrient can have wide ranging and
serious effects on the body. Nutritional deficiencies are rampant in western
societies and many foods and drinks which we consume each day (i.e. refined
carbohydrates, caffeinated beverages) further deplete our nutritional
status.
People interested in
staying healthy often read or hear of a fantastic nutrient in the media and
then go to their supermarket to buy it. While this is to be commended, it
really does pay to know what you are buying. I have personally come
across multivitamins for children which contain Sodium Saccharin. This is
a chemical sweetener which can affect a child’s behaviour and has also been
linked to brain cancer. Preservatives such as these have no place in
nutritional products, much less ones which are meant for children.
Self-prescribing
nutrients can be tempting but you could be wasting your money on inferior
products. All of the nutritional, naturopathic and weight loss products I prescribe
are clinically tested and thoroughly researched. They are given in
therapeutic doses and contain only the best absorbed forms of the nutrient so
they will do you the most good.
Naturopathy and weight loss
is all about educating and empowering people so that they can improve their
health and vitality. This may translate into dietary and lifestyle changes,
exercise and stress reduction techniques, nutritional or herbal supplementation.
Our clients continually
benefit from the latest clinical research and ongoing practitioner support and
training. Best of all, natural medicine and naturopathic (weight loss) treatments typically
get to the root cause of the problem rather than simply masking the symptoms
and effecting no real change in the client's wellbeing. This enables our
clients to experience optimal health and wellness with little or no
side-effects.
