Nutrition Therapy

Nourishment

Nourishment starts by bringing your attention to what goes into your body and educating yourself on what your body needs and wants. This is what is called the Mind – Body – Skin connection. If you’re struggling with gut issues, fatigue, skin conditions like acne or just not feeling 100%, your nutrition should be the first point of call to be assessed. Read more below.

My Philosophy

Welcome and firstly let me congratulate you on taking the very first step in taking control of your health and nutrition. My name is Glory Edward and I am a Nutritional Coach. I believe that you should enjoy everything that goes into your body all whilst achieving optimum health and wellness, through personalised dietary plans, fitness, mindset and carefully selected dietary supplements.

Do you need nutritional support?

A lot of our population believe they lead relatively healthy lifestyles & are nourishing their bodies correctly but are we really as healthy as we think? Let’s start by asking yourself a few questions;

• How well do you think you eat on a daily basis?
• Are you feeling confused about what you should eat?
• Do you feel your health is not where it should be?
• Are you eating the rainbow – is your plate colourful?
• Are you struggling to complete daily tasks without feeling drained afterwards?
• Are you worried about family history or genetic predisposition to various conditions?

If you answered yes to at least one of these questions or one has resonated with you then your health is probably not where it could be. Nutritional Therapy is where your journey to a healthier you starts but rest assured Nutritional Coach are beneficial to those that have no symptoms as well but want to be more educated to prevent any possible future diseases.

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapists are here to support everybody, whether it’s to help minimise current health conditions, prevent developing health problems, or by establishing how best to minimise current health symptoms along. We do this by empowering every person to develop a good understanding and education around what their bodies need each and every day. It is important to understand what our bodies can and can’t have which has a huge effect on other aspects of our bodies, such as mental health, skin conditions & various others. We as Nutritional Coach know that everybody is different and that no two people will have the same needs and understanding. I will work directly with you to understand your medical history and carry out assessments to better advise on what natural foods can prevent and/or minimise symptoms.

To put it simply;

• We help to take out the bad and bring in the good within your body
• We assist in guiding you to build good lifestyle choices
• Aiding you with information on any additional supplements needed
• To educate you on how you can fuel your body to optimum performance

Discovery Call – Up to 20 minutes

First things first I want to get to know you! Each and every person is different therefore it is so important that I discover more about you & a bit about your medical history. Along with this we will discuss what you would like to get out of our sessions to ensure this is the correct path for you, as it comes down to your commitment to the programs to get the most out of your health journey. Your discovery call will last up to 20 mins as you understand how I will work with you and develop the next steps on your health journey.

Upon completion of your discovery call I will send you your intake forms which include a health assessment, a 4-day food diary and other compulsory intake forms. Confidentiality is at the forefront of what we do, all your answers will be held securely and what has been discussed in our call will remain between you and I.

Initial Consultation – 60 minutes*

This will be a ‘face-to-face’ meeting via zoom or in person (when appropriate), where we will go through your intake forms, complete a full symptom assessment and discuss what your current lifestyle, diet & health concerns are. We will discuss and develop a set of realistic health goals that will be used to build a detailed plan upon analysis of your assessments in your follow up implementation session.

Upon completion of our session you will take home with you a summary of our session together and your implementation session booked in so you can receive your nutrition reports and together we will discuss how these can be incorporated into your life to be both sustainable and achievable.

In summary;

• Complete a Nutritional Assessment
• Analyse & further understand your completed Health Assessment (given to you upon booking your consultation)
• Further discussion & explanation of my understanding of your current health concerns
• Discussion of foods that may be contributing to your symptoms
• Analysis of you current lifestyle factors
• Understand your health goals
• Immediate recommendations (if needed)

*If you have a long medical history we may need to extend your session out by 15 minutes but this will be determined in your discovery call and will incur an extra £20.

Implementation Sessions – 45 to 60 minutes

After attending your initial consultation your Nutritional Therapist will take your session summary which includes plans that we have worked out together and your completed health assessment and antioxidant assessment. I will then pull together your personalised nutrition plan and provide guidance on potential changes to your lifestyle factors to better help you educate yourself on what your body is asking for and needs to perform at its best.

Together we will discuss the documents I will provide and come up with some actions for you to take home and begin to implement into your every day life. We will discuss and write down a plan that you believe will be achievable to succeed and keep on track. This is also your opportunity to discuss any questions you might have.

Follow Up Consultations – 45 minutes

You will have been on your health & nutrition journey now for at least 7 days and may have some questions that need to be answered or you may feel that you aren’t quite sticking to your plans as you would like to. These sessions are to provide more education, understand your bodies needs and most important helps to keep you accountable. We will go through a symptom re-assessment to understand where you are sitting and discuss and celebrate your wins and revise your plan where necessary.

Most clients benefit from having at least one follow up consultation. If you have a more complex health issue or have a lot of health goals you may find that 3-4 additional follow ups will be beneficial. In our standard pack follow up consultations are not included but we recommend that after 2-4 weeks you book an appointment to reassess and to redevelop your plans.

After your consultations

As I believe that everyone should have a healthy lifestyle I am available via email for any questions you may have, up to one per week (unless stated otherwise in your package). As a health practitioner I know that these changes and adjustments don’t happen over night and aren’t easy, but is a journey of discovery and self development to establish these new changes and how they fit into your current lifestyle. I am here to support you to be successful and to continue these habits well into the future so you not only look good but feeling amazing.
