Ready for that consultation?

You’re at the right place

It’s easy to feel lost given all the nutritional information that’s out there. And it changes all the time. How to separate fact from fiction? How to get the right support from the right people?

Edinburgh Centre of Nutrition and Therapy has been providing that support for nearly 20 years. All courtesy of a team of qualified and experienced nutritional therapists. We can get to the heart of your nutritional needs and develop an easy plan that’ll leave you feeling strong, energetic and ready for whatever life throws at you.

But what is nutritional therapy?

Nutritional therapy uses the latest data about nutrition to create a tailored plan for your specific needs. The plan focuses on maintaining your energy levels, balancing your sugars, keeping your gut healthy, managing your weight and increasing your tolerance across a broad range of food groups. It’s a holistic plan – one that’s achievable and realistic – and that looks at your physical, emotional and psychological needs so you can be the best version of you.

‘That’s great. So what’s the first step?’

We need a consultation first. Everybody’s different – and what will work for one person may not work for another. So we need to find out what your specific healthcare needs are.

How do we do this?

By carrying out a full health history. We’ll find out what your diet is, what your current health concerns are (including symptoms and any diagnoses and treatments), what your medical and family history looks like, how much physical activity you’re doing and what medication and supplements you’re taking.

Once we know all that, we can then design a nutrition plan that fits your specific lifestyle. As well as your budget.

Whether you want to carry out all the changes at the same time – or implement them gradually so you’ve got time to acclimatise – is entirely down to you. Our practitioners will be on hand in any case to answer any questions or address any concerns, should you have them.

‘How do you find out what nutritional changes I need to make?’

The backbone of any nutrition programme we create is biochemical testing. These tests might cover:

DNA
Food intolerance
A full thyroid assessment
An adrenal assessment
Hormone panel analysis
Hair mineral analysis
Digestion and parasitology
Cardiovascular screening
Blood sugar

Samples are analysed at various external laboratories we have access to. They can only be carried out in combination with a full consultation so that any interpretation of the data is accurate. The very tests we carry out will depend on that initial consultation.
