Nutrition Medicine
The underlying cause of the majority of diseases is based on our genetic make-up and the demands from our environment.
Over time, functional nutritional inadequacies can result in a variety of chronic health conditions.

Nutritional analysis regards the essential fatty acids, amino acids/proteins, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants and their role in the critical components of cellular metabolism. This process regards the underlying cause of multiple disease states and helps you to have the tools to activity participate in managing your health puzzle.
After all, if you live your life outside the laws of Nature, imbalance is created. If you don’t attend to the imbalance in time, it becomes a disease. Disease has that name because it literally means dis-ease.
The interplay between genetic inheritance and the environment is a major factor that determines propensity towards disease or health.
Patterns of nutrient deficiencies are evident from physical signs, symptoms and utilising standard and specialised pathology. Nutrition Medicine is the combination of the applied knowledge and qualitative analyses of the critical components of cellular metabolism – all proven biochemistry studied by every health professional at some stage – yet a specialised treatment option provided by expertly trained nutrition medicine practitioners.
Who Can Benefit?
Vitality for Life will demystify the confusion about exactly what you should eat for short and long term results, maximum health and true vitality.
For those with a family history of heart disease and cancer, it is of great importance to invest daily in good health and nutrition. Those suffering from any long-term condition or illness will benefit from changes in diet and nutrition status.
Equally, those who will benefit to a great amount include those with:
- Ongoing tiredness, fatigue and exhaustion
- Change in body composition e.g. weight gain or muscle weakness
- Loss of appetite and anorexia
- Mental and emotional impairment – including apathy and mental dullness, depression and emotional lability due to stress-anxiety
- Children with behaviour disorders,
- Athletes aiming to keep ahead of the pack
- as well as those people with food or chemical sensitivities.
Food Sensitivity and Health
Food sensitivities can occur at any age, trigger many different symptoms and contributing to a variety of disorders, including:
- Bowel and digestion problems
- Fatigue
- ADD/ADHD and other learning disorders
- Migraines
- Skin problems
- Arthritis and joint or muscle problems
- Sinusitis
- Recurrent ear infections
- Mood swings
Reactions are usually very difficult to pin-point as they can occur hours or even days after consumption of an offending food. These ‘hidden’ food allergies or sensitivities significantly upset our immune system and nutrient imbalances over time.
Possible Symptoms Associated With Food Sensitivity Reactions
- Digestive System: indigestion, nausea, vomiting, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, stomach ulcers, pruritus, cramping pain, and colic (in babies)
- Urinary Tract: frequent urination, burning, and bedwetting in children
- Cognitive and Psychological: mood swings, anxiety, depression, food cravings, poor concentration, fatigue, hyperactivity
- Chest: asthma, irregular heart beats
- Muscle and Joints: muscle aches, joint pain, joint inflammation (arthritis), some cases of rheumatoid arthritis
- Other: water retention, weight gain, eczema, hives, rashes, excess perspiration
The body needs to undergo a period of restitution and healing after injury from food sensitivities.
People committed to dietary change will achieve truly amazing results. If you have chronic health issues or you are aiming for peak performance , you will have a long-term and often life-long direction for your health and nutrition.
