Nutritional Therapy

Michael Simard

Nutritional therapy is a complementary therapy, which means it can work alongside orthodox medicine. It is a way of using food and supplements to encourage the body’s natural healing. It does this by:

  • Detoxifying the body.
  • Correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
  • Restoring healthy digestion.
  • Developing a positive attitude.

Back to Therapy Table

In order to achieve the above goals, a nutritional therapist asks a lot of questions about all aspects of your health and well being including medical history, dietary history, family history, menstrual problems, digestion, energy levels and exercise. This helps the therapist discover if you have any problems such as food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, toxic overload or general nutritional problems. Besides asking questions the therapist might suggest doing tests such as hair mineral analysis, hormone tests or food intolerance tests in order to get a better understanding of your current health status.
