Food as Medicine

Thousands of years ago the earliest known health practitioners revealed the benefits of using food as medicine. Today the research clearly shows that food plays a major roles in the health and wellbeing of people.

What you put into your body and in your skin is the foundation for good health. Poor nutrition, bad eating habits and bad skin care choices are what stems illnesses, whereas whole foods act as a medicine to heal and protect your body.

However, you do not need to be sick or in pain to benefit from seeing a nutritionist. Prevention is a much better option than cure.

Nutrition for all types of Health Conditions

Nutrition can help with the following health complaints:

What is involved during a Nutrition consultation?

As a clinical nutritionist, the aim of the game is to treat the individual from the inside out. Analysis of nutrient absorption, vitamin & mineral status as well as overall organ detoxification is key.

Although our eating habits play a major role in our overall health & well-being; comprehensive consultations include dietary & digestive evaluation, iris & tongue analysis, allergy testing and measurable pathology, vitamin / mineral investigation when necessary.

Initial Consultation

The initial consultation consists of a complete case history and certain examinations including questioning on your current concerns and complaints, your medical history, your current medications and your dietary habits. The examinations will include iridology, tongue analysis and nail analysis which can help to show what is going on now and any possible conditions that you are predisposed to.

Food Detective Tests

The world’s first in-clinic food IgG blood test is available in our clinic. Quick, reliable food IgG testing. Finger prick sample, results in 40 minutes.

Food Detective™ is a blood test for food antibodies (IgG) that can be conveniently used in the clinic of a health professional. You don’t have to send off a sample and wait weeks to receive results from a testing laboratory. The testing tray that shows if the patient has IgG antibodies to specific foods has areas spotted with food protein extracts. A small blood sample is taken from a finger-prick and is then diluted and added to the tray.

In subsequent steps the use of detector and developer solutions identify the presence of food antibodies through the appearance of one or more blue spots on the tray. Reference to the food layout plan enclosed within the instructions allows you to identify any foods to which the patient may have an intolerance. Food Detective™ gives you your results in just 40 minutes.
