The 5 R's of Nutritional Medicine
Remove
Remove any foods from the diet that you are allergic or sensitive to, as well as any pathogens in the digestive tract. Remove toxins from your food, water and environment to the best of your ability. Also removing poor sleep habits and stress is an important aspect of this stage.
Replace
Through symptoms and pathology testing we will identify deficiencies such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, digestive enzymes, bile, etc. A supplement and dietary plan will be implemented to overcome these deficiencies.
Re-balance
Nutrigenomics gene testing assesses how your genes and nutrition interact so we can further identify dietary, lifestyle and supplemental changes to rebalance your bodies systems to optimise your health.
Repopulate
By using the latest gut microbiome testing we can identify your bacteria populations and work on repopulating your gut with the right balance of gut bacteria, using probiotics and fermented foods. These will be supported with the right prebiotic foods and supplements to enhance their growth.
Repair
Repair damage to the gut as needed, with optimal food, rest and supplements to support the healing process.
