Personalized nutrition goes beyond current paradigms, which determine treatment based on condition. Personalized nutrition instead aims to identify the pathways that drive problems in each individual and tailor treatment on this basis. The standard approach focuses on treatment, not the person receiving it. “Milkthistle is good for the liver”, “valerian is good for sleep”, “etc”, etc… Personalized nutrition places the focus on the individual, undertaking the necessary screening and testing to identify **** Personalized nutrition aims to match treatment to the individual’s needs, and determines these through functional testing, clinical screening to build a map of metabolic relationships and ongoing assessment of responses.

Moving beyond dogmatic statements like ‘milkthistle is good for the liver‘ or ‘zinc boosts the immune system‘, instead considering the individual in question, using tests and screening to determine their own specific obstacles and the right time to deliver each intervention. Folk medicine may be subject to superstition, while the modern breed of Evidence-Based Medicine can be based on average response from non-representative groups. An evidence-informed personalized approach focuses on the evidence for the mechanisms in play in your case, allowing us to sculpt a program that is both customized for your needs and scientifically verified. The inter-connected nature of the human metabolism means that, when one key system becomes dysregulated, so do all others. Accordingly, complex issues come with a long list of dysfunctions but chasing each one can be frustrating and costly. Mapping out how these systems are interacting allows us to identify the rate-limiting factor and steps that will make a difference in your case. I will explain the rationale for my recommendations and, in doing so, provide reasons for the patterns you are seeing. Not only can understanding avoid unnecessary anxiety, but decades of evidence in the psychoneuroimmunology field powerfully demonstrates how the primary purpose of many CNS-induced symptoms it to communicate a message; as such, they expire when the message has been received and made sense of. I take data from your lab tests, your agreed metrics and (most importantly) from your responses. This provides us a base of certainty upon which to build a roadmap of your options and the likelihood of each succeeding. However, the beauty and the complexity of the human body mean that not everything can be quantified. This is where the science of analysis makes way for the art of program-building. My ‘first language’ is that of medical biochemistry but my research is not limited to the realms of the scientific literature. I have extensively studied traditional healing systems that use metaphor to provide understanding. Tell me which you prefer, and that is how we will communicate… Moving beyond dogmatic statements like ‘milkthistle is good for the liver‘ or ‘zinc boosts the immune system‘, instead considering the individual in question, using tests and screening to determine their own specific obstacles and the right time to deliver each intervention.

Discusses the ketogenic diet and tending to oxalates. Please fill out the contact form below and my assistant, Sue, will tend to your enquiry ASAP.

Personalized Nutrition… like other approaches, only one that uses data, not dogma. Ongoing tracking, not assumptions. And one that methodically identifies the key obstacles in your case.

CASE STUDIES
Principles and concepts are great, but sometimes it helps to get into the nitty-gritty… Please find below three case studies that go deep into the decisions made at each stage, together with the rationale behind each one.
Robert - Adrenal/Chronic Fatigue
Multi-stage program that worked through the ‘obvious’ obstacles, then methodically dealt with the remaining challenges (which included postural tension, cellular hypothyroidism and insulin sensitivity).
Julie - insomnia, paradoxical responses, Crohns, mast cells, etc
Caroline - Hormones & Weight Loss
