WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

While what we eat and how much we move our body has a direct impact on our overall health and vitality, there are several other contributing factors that may influence our ability to manage weight, these include:

• Thyroid dysfunction

• PCOS and other female hormonal imbalances

• Stress management

• Poor sleep hygiene

• Nutrient excesses and deficiencies

• Poor digestion and malabsorption issues

• Genetics

The end goal is to have a healthy body and mindset, to live the healthiest version of yourself and to accept and respect your body for all it does for you. One thing the evidence tells us is that fad diets and restrictive eating patterns are not the keys to long term weight management. What we also know is that adjusting your attitude, understanding your body, setting realistic goals and making peace with yourself will give you all the tools you need to live a long, healthy and happy life.

By reviewing your current diet and lifestyle practices, identifying nutrient excesses and deficiencies, carefully looking at your portion sizes and the time of day that you are eating, a personalised nutrition plan can be developed that fits in your with your current life and needs, with results not only to your waistline but improvements to your overall health and well-being. The best part is that the tools provided will last with you for life and you will know what to do going forward, to always be in control of your health

Functional pathology can reveal factors, which may not be obvious, however may be impacting progress and leaving you feeling like you are doing something wrong and are a completely hopeless case. The best move forward is to review functional test results in addition to current diet and lifestyle practices to then create an achievable and realistic plan in creating life adjustments that feel sustainable and don’t feel like a diet.
