Diabetes
Diet and lifestyle change can be a highly effective treatment for Type 2 diabetes. An individual assessment and counselling will show you how to take control of your blood sugar levels - learn about glycemic index, balancing your proteins and carbohydrates, and timing your meals and snacks. You'll also learn how to manage your weight, make lower fat food choices, the importance of fibre, and many more effective strategies.
High Cholesterol
Dietary change is an effective strategy to both prevent and treat high cholesterol. As well as assessing total fat intake, types of fat, and fibre intake, there are many other dietary strategies that can help lower cholesterol as well as homocysteine levels, another risk factor for heart disease.

Digestive Problems
Have you been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Do you feel bloated and uncomfortable after you eat? Or battle constipation? Do you have an intolerance to gluten, or lactose? Poor eating habits, as well as food sensitivities or intolerances, can cause a wide range of distressing symptoms.
Cancer
We've known for many years that there is a strong connection between what we eat and the incidence of cancer. But in recent years, we've also been learning a lot more about individual nutrients and supplements and the role they play in our battle against this disease. Maximizing your nutrition status can be a key strategy against cancer, whether for prevention, support during treatment, or maximizing your health following treatment.
Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Other Inflammatory DiseasesIt used to be that health experts believed there was no connection between diet and arthritic conditions. But more and more research is showing that many foods in our diet can promote either inflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses in our body. For example, omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oils, as well as flaxseed and walnuts, can help promote an anti-inflammatory response, making them an effective tool in treating arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
VegetarianismMany people are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet, either for health or ethical reasons. There are many different types, including vegan, lacto-ovo, and semi-vegetarian. They can all be healthful, nourishing diets when they are balanced and attention is paid to protein, B vitamins, vitamin D, and minerals like iron and calcium. A diet assessment will help ensure that you're on the right track and getting all the energy and nutrients you need.
Optimizing Your Health
Have you decided that you want to turn over a new leaf and enjoy a healthier lifestyle? A nutrition assessment can be the perfect starting point. Maximizing your nutrition status provides endless benefits - more energy, better weight control, prevention of chronic disease - to name a few.
