Nutritionally Whole - Ruth Pretty

At long last the relevance of what we do as nutritionists by providing INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS for all our clients is being recognised.
We are not one size fits all thats why a consultation is key to YOUR health.

Pure fruit juices and fruit smoothies might trigger an allergy but they most definitely cause blood sugar spikes not recommended for energy longevity. If you suffer from low energy or allergies, knowing what foods to eat is critical.

Your brain / gut connection is huge. The brain like any other organ needs nutrients, but are you getting them? Are you eating foods that are causing problems? Do you eat enough anti-inflammatory foods?
What you eat affects your brain, if you eat foods that don't suit you this can cause inflammation in the brain tissues causing forgetfulness, poor concentration, low mood and brain fog. If you suffer from any of these it is worth seeing a Nutrition Consultant.

Pain anywhere in the body, is usually a sign of inflammation, making dietary changes is the first port of call..

WHY DO I FEEL UNWELL?
We take it for granted that the food we eat will automatically get turned into energy we need for all the biological functions required to keep us healthy. Our body's rely on continual cell building to repair, heal and grow healthy cells.
High calorific diets, stressful lives, trauma, illness, over exercising, aging and inflammation lead us into dis-ease. When we don't feel well, experience low energy, bloating or flatulence, discomfort or pain, get mig...raines, allergies, mood swings, weight gain or hormonal issues. This is your body asking for help, it is lacking essential nutrients to commit to repair and vitality. Learning what foods and nutrients your body needs is key to your overall health.
