Nutrition plays a very important role in our health. Understanding what you are putting into your body is extremely important for your wellbeing and overall health. Too much information can be overwhelming so a nutritionist can help you breakdown your diet and help you to improve your knowledge on food. While there are many apps out there offering nutritional advice, this advice can be quite generic and is not specialised to your needs. This is where seeing a nutritionist can be beneficial.
A nutritionist is a degree qualified health professional, using evidence-based knowledge specialising in food and nutrition. They are able to assess and analyse what your body needs and provide advice and information on what your body needs for you to reach optimal health.
During a nutritional consultation, the practitioner will analyse diet, exercise, lifestyle, medical history, family history, work, study, sleep, etc, to establish a holistic view of your health. From there a personalised treatment plan will be developed to help you reach your health goals. This treatment plan may come in the form of a food plan, dietary advice, recommended supplements or even exercise advice.
Nutrition can help with weight loss, weight gain, digestive health, immune support, sleep, skin health, and more. Nutrition to your body is like water to a plant. With the right amount and balance, you will flourish. Feeling sluggish, unmotivated and off can be a symptom that your body is not getting the nutrients it needs to thrive.
Food is a central element in people’s lives not only for health but also for enjoyment so being able to find the right balance to ensure your body gets all of it’s needed nutrition can be hard. This is where our Nutritionist, Mariam Hammoud can help. The ability to assist people in a blended approach to medicine, supporting the body naturally, is something Marriam is very passionate about.
