Functional medicine and Nutritional therapy takes a system-oriented approach in helping identify the root causes or drivers behind an illness or performance dysfunction. Working closely with the individual to assess a clients whole health history, treatments, medications, diet and lifestyle in order to identify systems under pressure. With consideration for immune balance, inflammation, redox imbalances, oxidative stress, genetic expression, digestive, absorptive, microbial imbalances, detoxification & hormonal imbalances. A clients protocol will be designed around preventing or supporting chronic disease with the view of ideally reversing or sometimes at best improving the specific dysfunctions that contribute to the disease state.
A comprehensive nutritional plan is designed specifically to the clients health goals, needs & lifestyle demands with consideration for taste preferences, budget & convenience.
A day to day dietary guideline will be developed in order for you to implement. This is accompanied with personalised realistic nutritious recipes, a guide for healthy eating enabling optimum digestion & absorption, a weekly planner for your meals & shopping list, as well as a diet diary to support & log your success.
What is Naturopathic Nutrition?
As a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionalist through the Collage of Naturopathic Medicine Ireland, I practice functional medicine, designing meals to nutritional needs with the aim of influencing healthy eating habits to impact overall health and wellbeing.
Ideally nutrition is used as the first steps in preventive health care, however the reality in many cases is that nutrition is used to help & rebalance the body back to health when a person encounters some form of health problem or ailment.
Often it is only when a person has exhausted many avenues or dislike the side effects of drugs that they seek help and guidance from a nutritional therapist and in this case we work to rebalance dis-ease in the body and support you back to your natural health through nutrition, healthy eating habits and supplementation. We work with you on a one to one basis and consult with your GP or specialist if necessary to support your every health care need at that time.

Clinic Homocysteine Testing
The importance of homocysteine as a marker for health and wellbeing is becoming clearer. There are an increasing number of studies that show that homocysteine to be a predictor of potential health problems. Raised blood homocysteine concentrations can both predict the development of heart disease and strokes; in older people even better than any usual measure of risk including cholesterol, blood pressure or smoking. Women with high homocysteine levels find it harder to conceive and are at risk from repeated early miscarriage. Raised levels of homocysteine have also been implicated in migraine and linked to Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, declining memory, poor concentration and judgement and lowered mood.
