What is Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy?
Naturopathic Medicine is a system of primary health care where the cause of disease is unearthed and does not focus solely on symptom masking and treatment. Natural therapeutic protocols are applied once the root cause is assessed and the entire individual is taken into consideration holistically. At Naturalpaths Nutrition, you are unique and there is no 'one size fits all' approach. Modern scientific knowledge is combined with natural forms of medicine and holistic modalities can encourage the body's own intrinsic ability to heal.
​
Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy works in the same context using food and lifestyle to support healing and the prevention of disease. Food is your medicine and essentially, we are what we eat - no surprises! There is focus on nutrient-dense, whole food preparation and consumption which hold the potential to nourish, detoxify & heal the body, mind and soul.
The Naturopathic Principles:
Healing power of nature
Educate the client
Identify the root cause
Do no harm
Treat the whole person
Prevention is better than cure.
Guided by the naturopathic principles, I focus on the whole person including their past and present health history, lifestyle, and current diet to identify underlying causes to their current health state. Symptoms are not a disease but how the body is manifesting imbalances and calling for help. I work alongside conventional medical and alternative practitioners to arrive at the most suitable protocols when required. According to your requirements I use functional medicine and biochemical testing to assess your imbalances in a more precise manner to gain a better understanding of what could be driving your signs and symptoms.
