Mainstream medicine too often looks at a one-size fits all model of nutrition but each person’s health is unique. Holistic nutrition is about eating foods that will not only fuel your body, but also impact your body’s function positively to help support an optimal state. My program includes mindful eating strategies and personalised nutrition plans for energy and performance, weight management, gut health, detoxification and cognitive support.

I avoid the notion of ‘diets’ and encourage eating that works for you on a cellular level, taking into account gender, age, lifestyle and your specific goals.

An off-the-shelf diet written by some ‘guru’ might work in the short term but it’s not a long term strategy. A successful and sustainable weight loss is one that supports a homeostatis state of the body in which the internal environment is stable and constant.

At the moment, for example, plant-based diets are popular. And while industrial farming, and its many negatives, means you might want to consider a reduction in your meat consumption, it’s not quite that simple.

You see, weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. My holistic approach considers a smart training and eating programme that’s dependent on multiple factors that are usually overlooked in traditional, and recent, weight loss programs. The concept of Metabolic Typing – how gender, ethnicity, oxidative levels, toxicity, lifestyle, thoughts, and other genetic traits could directly affect the muscle to fat ratio – is one approach to weight management I like to explore.
