Description of Treatment
Nutritional Science considers the ‘root cause’ rather than symptoms alone. Through its intervention health concerns may reduce or even disappear. This applies from pre-conception through to adult health.  Sarah can identify, through a detailed first consultation, events in your life that might have contributed to a state of ill health or just feeling below par; and not just what has occurred immediately prior to a health problem. This would include long term diet patterns, environmental exposures and emotional and physical stressors.  This consultation also allows your nutritional status and functional imbalances to be assessed.  At times, testing maybe necessary to help this process.  Sarah will complete a detailed analysis following the appointment to assess your priorities and compile an individually tailored programme including diet, supplement and lifestyle advice. This you will receive at the second consultation where Sarah will go through the programme with you and any test results.  Sarah focuses on providing practical, realistic, achievable advice, taking into account your lifestyle and current health goals.   

Laboratory testing may be suggested if appropriate, which enables a more targeted approach for your programme.  Costs for testing will be discussed and is payable separately, test interpretation is included in the consultation fee.  Test kits are sent direct from the laboratory to your home.  Sarah uses two UK regulated laboratories.  An example is the food intolerance blood test.  Food intolerance often involves common foods.  Symptoms may include IBS, joint pain, muscle and joint aches, weight problems, skin irritations, rhinitis or hyperactivity.  The FACTest is a highly respected allergy, intolerance and sensitivity blood test, which provides a valuable and detailed insight into a number of biological processes, which take place when food is eaten.  Around 170 foods, including common additives, seasonings and beverages are covered in the test.  The test can detect reactions such as those produce by histamine and leukotriene release, along with white blood cell reactions i.e. it measures the response from the immune system to the foods, which maybe contributing to your symptoms.   Click here to see a sample report of the FACtest http://www.iwdl.net
