What Does a Clinical Nutritionist Do?

Clinical nutritionists are specially trained in the use of wholefood, dietary practices, and nutritional supplements such as enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals, to manage underlying causes of illness and restore health.

Clinical Nutritionists assess health according to optimal standards rather than the absence of disease and as part of this use functional tests such as digestive and stool tests and hormonal testing such as adrenal stress tests. We may also order and/or interpret blood tests from a functional perspective, looking at nutrients and other factors required for optimal body function. Along with lifestyle modification, especially through stress management, plays a significant role in managing many health conditions we see in the clinic.

The approach of Clinical Nutritionists to disease prevention and management is multidimentional. We take into account the whole individual - body, mind, and emotions, to help you achieve optimal health and wellness. We apply the latest in evidence-based nutritional medicine and scientific research to ensure a holistic, individualised, and patient-centered approach.
