Nutrition

Your Heal’r Nutritionist will assist you in evaluating your current and past dietary intake, lifestyle, possible food allergies and intolerances, immune and organ health, blood sugar levels, hormones and most importantly, your needs. The diet we believe in is holistic, individualised and with the concept of “food as medicine” at the forefront.

​

A Heal’r Nutritionist supports you with:
 

• Customised holistic plans for all ages, health conditions, ethics and preferences

• Our Heal’r Your Gut Programme

• Recipe ideas and inspiration for cooking and meal prep

• Specific Clinical Nutrition “diet” plans to help treat food allergies or intolerances

• Shopping lists/grocery shopping assistance

 

What's the difference between a Nutritionist and Naturopath?
 

The difference between Clinical Nutrition and Naturopathy is that a Nutritionist solely focuses on dietary and nutritional needs for the individual, whereas a Naturopath will also prescribe Herbal Medicine and other remedies to treat disease and autoimmune conditions.

​

When should you see a Nutritionist?
 

When you have any of the below signs or symptoms:
 

• Bloating/gas

• Constipation or diarrhoea

• Cramping/abdominal pain

• Nausea, vomiting

• Stigma/food guilt

• Fatigue/difficulty sleeping

• Mood/anxiety and depression

​

When you see a Heal’r Nutritionist, your treatment will be holistic, individualised, achievable, sustainable, up to date and based on our years of clinical practice.

What testing can a Nutritionist request?

At Heal'r it is essential to us to understand the underlying cause of a problem, and not just to treat the symptoms. When discussing your health goals and any complaints you might have, our Nutritionist may suggest utilising food allergy testing, gut health testing, or hair mineral analysis testing, which can all be done through Heal'r. Each of these tests offers a different scope into your underlying health and would be suggested specifically in response to the health complaints being discussed.
