Nutrition | Detox Clinic

Diet is a huge part of our lives and by eating well we can help prevent many lifestyle diseases and maximise our energy. A Nutrition & Detox Clinic allows us to analyse your diet then teach you what to do with an individualised diet plan. Detoxification can be supported with herbal preparations and a solid nutritional plan. Our innate detoxification system is comprised of our gut, liver, blood, lymph, skin & kidneys. These organs processes thousands of chemicals every day from the pollutants in the air we breathe and the contaminants in the things we ingest such as plastics as well as anything we absorb through our skin found in cosmetics or creams. Alcohol and drugs are also additional stressors on our detoxification system. Non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, hormonal problems, disturbed sleep, waking feeling tired, headaches, inflammation, brain fog & acne without a known cause can all be caused by disturbed detoxification pathways which can improve with nutrition. Alcoholics, drug users, anyone who works in a high chemical environment such as manufacturers, trades-people and painters, as well as those who live in mouldy homes can all benefit from nutritional foundations and a detoxification programme. High liver enzymes determined from blood tests indicate that we may have fatty liver which comes from overeating or over consumption of alcohol. Kidney stones and kidney damage can also be signs that our detoxification pathways have been overburdened. Specific tests such as heavy metal testing can show the presence of toxic heavy metals.

Detoxification programmes are a form of preventative and holistic health. Elimination of waste through the liver and kidneys needs to be effective. In the long term, if the detox pathways aren’t supported hormonal issues, reproductive issues, headaches and fatigue can continue to worsen. Inflammation in the body rises as metabolic waste builds up. We also need our gut to be working effectively in order to absorb the nutrients we need in order to detoxify properly.

The good news is that we can use diet, herbs and key nutrients to help, and at the same time we can start identifying the environmental triggers. In your appointment we go over your diet & start you on a gentle nutritional programme designed to support your gut lining, liver, kidneys, lymphatic, immune & cardiovascular systems. We let you know what to expect as the body starts to increase its output and excretion of metabolites. During follow ups we update the plan and look at different organs in stages.

As part of this we do a dietary analysis we can teach you where your diet falls short from what you need for your specific requirements. Before you come you fill out a ‘Diet Dairy’ a week prior to your appointment, for this reason Nutrition & Detox Clinic bookings must be made at least a week in advance. In your appointment we go over the foods you are consuming and determine what foods you should be eating for your lifestyle, age and gender plus how to address any deficiencies with diet. We also help determine any foods that may be contributing to any gut problems or health issues you have, and help make a plan to remove the offending foods and discover what to replace them with. We help you navigate diet fads and passing trends with evidence based information and a balanced approach. Modern day health issues such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol & cancer can stem from dietary & lifestyle choices. These may be prevented and help treatment with a consistent approach based on sound evidence on nutrition and lifestyle.

The Nutrition & Detox Clinic consists of:

• 1 hour and 15 minute initial appointment ~ We go over your diet dairy and talk about what foods you need to eat more of to get the most from your diet. We alert you to what you might need to eliminate in order to have healthy energy, mood and sleep patterns.
• 45 minute follow up ~ You then go away and practice these new eating habits before coming back for a 30 minute follow up appointment to discuss the changes and results.
• 30 minute follow up – We then make a long term plan to ensure your new habits become life long habits

Further follow ups can be made in order to track your progress. All appointments involve a referral to a medical practitioner if necessary.
