What is Nutritional Therapy

Naturopathic nutritional therapy is a holistic approach to health that combines the principles of naturopathy with evidence-based nutritional science. It focuses on harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities by promoting wellness through personalised nutrition and lifestyle interventions. This form of therapy emphasises the use of whole, natural, and minimally processed foods to support the body’s optimal functioning, while also considering the unique physiological and biochemical needs of each individual.


Central to nutritional therapy is the belief in addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely alleviating symptoms. We identify imbalances or deficiencies in the body, such as nutritional gaps, digestive issues, or hormonal imbalances, that may contribute to illness or hinder overall well-being. We integrate a deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems with the therapeutic effects of nutrients and create customised plans that support longterm health.

This approach also respects the body’s natural rhythms and healing processes. It often
incorporates complementary techniques such as stress management, detoxification, and lifestyle modifications. At SO Clinic, we include Intermittent Hypoxic Training to improve your health much faster and more efficiently. This ensures a comprehensive and integrative path to health, empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing journey.

Testing

When appropriate, we recommend functional testing to uncover the root cause of your health concerns. We collaborate with leading, cutting-edge laboratories that provide the most advanced diagnostic tools, ensuring we gain deep insights into your condition. This data-driven approach allows us to tailor your treatment plan with precision, supporting your journey to optimal health and long-term well-being. Our guiding principle is “testing, not guessing.” During your consultation, we evaluate whether additional laboratory tests are needed to provide scientific evidence and further refine your nutrition and health plan. These tests may assess your genetics, gut function, hormone levels, intolerances/allergies, nutrient deficiencies,
and more.

We collaborate with both your GP for standard tests and with renowned private laboratories, such as Genova Diagnostics, Lifecode GX and Regenerus Labs. These laboratories offer a wide range of advanced functional tests, including those for food allergies and intolerances, gut microbiome analysis, hormonal assessments, and genetic predisposition to health vulnerabilities. The insights from these tests help us identify nutritional deficiencies, monitor hormone levels, detect sensitivities, and assess exposure to toxic chemicals, ensuring a thorough understanding of your health.

Test results are reviewed during a consultation, as per laboratory policy. This ensures you receive accurate and personalised explanations, empowering you to take informed steps toward improved health and well-being.
