WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL THERAPY? Nutritional therapy seeks to alleviate or prevent illness through
dietary modification and education. 90% of our body renews itself
every three months and the building materials come from the food
we eat. This is why good nutrition is paramount to good health.

Nutritional therapy can work alongside conventional healthcare
treatments and is a way of using food, herbs and supplements
to encourage the body’s natural healing. It does this by:
-
Correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Detoxifying the body
- Restoring healthy digestion
- Re-educating your nutritional habits
Where appropriate, nutritional therapy is backed up with coaching
in making lifestyle changes e.g. stress management,
smoking cessation etc.

NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PROGRAMMES
If you would like to purchase any of the following programmes,
please click onto the fee to book and pay. I will contact you to
arrange a convenient time for your initial 1 hour consultation
(which you can have by phone or in person).
OSTEOPOROSIS £140
If you have a family history of osteoporosis, poor diet, sedentary
lifestyle, are elderly, a smoker, consume large amounts of fizzy/caffeinated/alcoholic
drinks, are underweight, menopausal, experiencing chronic stress
or have a history of hormone irregularities, you may benefit from
this programme which includes a 1-hour consultation (by phone or
in person), a health screening test *, followed by nutritional
and lifestyle recommendations. It is a good idea, if you need to
implement a dietary and lifestyle programme for osteoporosis risk,
to retest within three months.
CANDIDA £140
Candida Albicans is a naturally occurring yeast that is found
in the large intestine, genital tract, mouth and throat. Under
normal
conditions, it is compatible with good health and usually kept
under control. However, under certain circumstances, Candida
can overgrow causing a wide variety of symptoms ranging from
fatigue,
brain fog, lack of concentration, mood swings, joint and muscle
aches, boating, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence, local fungal
infections e.g. recurrent thrust, decreased libido, bladder infections,
menstrual complaints, dry itchy skin, acne and chronic sinus
problems. Poor dietary choices, frequent antibiotic use and
high stress levels
are common culprits which can disrupt the protective bacterial
flora of the digestive tract and allow this yeast to get out
of control. This programme includes a 1-hour consultation (by
phone
or in person), a health screening test *, followed by nutritional
and lifestyle recommendations. Follow-up sessions are £35
per hour.
FOOD SENSITIVITY £230
IgG antibodies are associated with food reactions that contribute
to many different health problems. This programme measures
total IgG antibodies from 88 foods * and also includes a 1-hour
consultation
(by phone or in person) followed by a customized rotation diet.
If you have symptoms such as constipation, diarrhoea, cramps,
nausea, skin rashes or sinus problem, this programme could
help improve
your health. Follow-up sessions are £35 per hour.
ADRENAL STRESS £140
An inappropriate adrenal response can negatively impact your energy
levels, emotions, disease resistance and many other common health
complaints. Symptoms may include frequent attacks of acute anxiety,
chronic inflammatory conditions, allergies, low energy levels
including chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, intestinal permeability,
depression, migraines, headaches, recurrent infections, menstrual
difficulties and infertility. This programme includes a 1-hour
consultation (by phone or in person), a health screening test
*, followed by nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. Follow-up
sessions are £35 per hour.
FEMALE HORMONE £220
PMT, fluid retention, excessive menstrual bleeding, menstrual
irregularity, low libido, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and
infertility can all
result from imbalances in the hormones, oestrogen or progesterone.
In addition imbalanced testosterone levels can produce a ranger
of symptoms including acne, hirsuitism and loss of motivation
and sex drive. This programme includes a 1-hour consultation
(by phone
or in person), a health screening test *, followed by nutritional
and lifestyle recommendations. This programme is recommended
for pre-menopausal women. Follow-up sessions are £35
per hour.
MENOPAUSE £190
Although menopause is a normal part of a woman’s maturation,
many women can experience discomfort both during and after menopause.
In addition, the risk of developing osteoporosis increases along
with the risk of developing oestrogen sensitive cancers. This programme
provides a health screen test * which assesses progesterone/oestrogen
levels which allows for accurate assessment of hormone levels.
It measures levels of anti and pro-carcinogenic oestrogen metabolites
(2 and 16 alpha-hydroxy derivatives of oestrone and oestradiol)
which can help assess if there is an increased oestrogen-sensitive
cancer risk. It also measures a bone collagen peptide which serves
as a specific marker of bone resorption. This programme includes
a 1-hour consultation (by phone or in person), a health screening
test followed by nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. Follow-up
sessions are £35 per hour.
IBS £70
IBS is the name doctors give to a collection of otherwise unexplained
symptoms relating to a disturbance of the large bowel. These
may include: crampy abdominal pain, an alteration in bowel
habit, bloating,
rumbling noises and excessive passage of wind. This programme
includes a 1-hour consultation (by phone or in person), followed
by nutritional
and lifestyle recommendations. Follow-up sessions are £35
per hour.
In addition, I recommend either or both of the following health
screening tests:
- Food Sensitivity Test. (£160)
- Bacterial Overgrowth of the Small Intestine (£80)
DETOX £99
If you have been feeling sluggish, bloated or tired, maybe
it’s
time for a detox. Perhaps you have a special occasion you would
like to feel fit and healthy for? Maybe you would like a good
kick-start to a weight
loss programme? Your body is constantly
detoxing and
retoxing. The aim of a detox programme is to give your body a
rest from that process whilst supplying it with a steady
source of energy,
nutrients, water and rest.
The programme kick-starts with a 1-hour consultation (face-to-face
or by phone) followed by a 10-Day Detox Programme. The herbs
used on the programme are: calendula (marigold), viola
tricolor (wild
pansy), echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower), solidago, birch,
horsetail, restharrow, milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion, peppermint,
boldo, frangula (alder buckthorn), Californian buckthorn (cascara),
aloe vera, fumitory and nettle. A diet booklet is also included.
A detox programme may not be suitable for everyone and
I will need to assess if this process is right for you.
- The health screens I offer are in conjunction
with Genova Diagnostics, an independent medical laboratory,
and are often covered
by private medical insurance policies such as BUPA and PPP. Some
tests require a blood sample which may be taken by a nurse or GP
at your surgery for which I provide a letter of referral.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
- Nutritional information was invaluable as it gave
me a better insight into what vitamins/minerals and food
I should be taking to speed my recovery. L.W.
- I always used to snore, but then I started to wake
in the night choking on mucus. Laurel worked out that
it was cheese and my home made beer that contributed
to this problem. So I rarely have cheese now, I don’t
make home brew anymore and I have changed about the beer
I drink (not so much and certain types of beer make things
worse). Laurel also put me on some herbs. Now I don’t
have any problem and my wife gets a better night’s
sleep! M.P.
- I just had to do something about how sluggish I
felt and how bloated and headachy. When I came to see
Laurel, she put me on cleansing herbs and altered my
eating habits about. Now, no problem – and I’ve
lost some weight. P.K.S.
- My IBS was driving me crazy. The herbs and change
of diet from Laurel helped enormously. D.L.
- Menopause was a time I dreaded. I couldn’t
sleep properly and felt miserable and really tired. Having
the herbs and reflexology has put me back in touch with
myself – feeling fab! J.M.
- Very good information on nutrition and supplements. M.C.
