What is nutritional therapy?
AND HOW CAN IT HELP BALANCE YOUR HORMONES?
Nutritional therapy is based on years of evidence based research into the relationship between diet and health outcomes.
IT INVOLVES THE USE OF FOOD TO ADDRESS CHRONIC DISEASES AND PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ONES
Nutritional therapy is still considered part of the alternative medicine world. The important difference between allopathic (conventional) and alternative medicine is bioindividuality. This refers to our unique individuality – no two human beings are the same. Our bodies are also constantly changing with fluctuating hormones, blood sugar, toxic burden and emotional stress. Nutritional therapy is highly tailored to support these changes. The body has an incredible innate wisdom which needs to be respected and listened to not suppressed.
Many people spend their entire lives existing in that zone with a reduced quality of life as they struggle with their symptoms. Hormones are chemical messengers that tell our cells what to do. They also communicate with each other so when one goes out of balance many others are effected simultaneously. Unaddressed imbalances can have serious long term health consequences including osteoporosis, breast cancer and diabetes to name a few.
MAINSTREAM MEDICINE TENDS TO BE VERY BLACK AND WHITE. THE REALITY IS, THAT CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES EXIST IN A MASSIVE GREY AREA.
Diet and lifestyle can have a powerful influence on our hormones. For example blood sugar imbalances cause disturbances in female hormones and a diet high in refined sugar and low in omega 3 fats creates chronic inflammation which also contributes to hormone imbalances
