Nutritional Therapy is the science of how food and nutrients can promote optimum health and peak performance. Today the volume of scientific evidence supporting the importance of diet and nutrition in the prevention and treatment of disease is growing rapidly. Grounded in recognized science and evidence based research, it examines how our health can be affected by not only what we eat but also by our lifestyle, genetics, environmental toxins and stressors. Sarah trained from the Functional Medicine approach to nutrition which is based on the understanding that all the ‘systems’ of the body are inter-related. This includes the digestive, hormonal, detoxification, energy and immune systems, each one impacting the other. When it comes to health and disease, understanding these complex connections in the body is the key to positive results. Sarah aims to identify, through a detailed first consultation with you, events in your life that might have contributed to a state of ill health or just feeling below par. Based on all these factors, she focuses on putting in measures to balance and establish optimum health for you. Sometimes clinical testing can help provide targeted results. Sarah has worked successfully with many clients suffering various health concerns such as weight concerns, adrenal fatigue, skin concerns, auto-immune conditions, digestive concerns, children's health, recovering cancer patients, sports nutrition to name but a few. Sarah works at two clinics one based in Twickenham, Farnham, and Morzine (France). She can also carry out Skype sessions with clients. Refer to www.mattersforhealth.co.uk for more information.
