What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapists apply nutrition science to promote optimal health, wellbeing, and performance.

Everyone is biochemically and biologically unique. Nutritional therapists recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

We identify and assess biological and nutritional imbalances and show how these may drive individual symptoms and health issues. We then set out to address these imbalances to help the body restore health.

 

Why Use Nutritional Therapy?

It has been recognised for millennia that there is a close link between what we eat and the health problems we experience.

Good nutrition is the bedrock of sound health and good energy levels. It can transform how we feel. Nutritional therapy aims to help you optimise your health by eating the foods that are right for you.

Your consultation will be

  • Flexible

    I see clients both in person, at my comfortable home clinic in York, and via Zoom.

  • Detailed

    Our first consultation will take about an hour. I take a detailed case history covering your digestion, diet, lifestyle, physical activity, medication and supplements.

  • Thorough

    I use a variety of functional health tests to help pinpoint the factors contributing to particular health problems, and to inform decisions about your food and lifestyle choices.

  • Personalised

    I develop a personalised action plan, with diet and lifestyle recommendations, tests, and supplements (if appropriate).

What does it cost?

Initial Episode (for new clients): £200

One 60-90 minute-long consultation (either by Zoom or in-person), to review current diet, supplements and lifestyle, and to put together a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan. In addition to the consultation, this includes:

  • Analysis of health questionnaire and diet/lifestyle diary before the consultation

  • Email follow-up with supportive handouts, recipes, supplement protocols, organisation of diagnostic testing; and

  • One 30 minute follow-up phone or video call, 1-2 weeks after the consultation, providing any necessary additional support, advice or resources to keep you ‘on track’ with any recommendations

This equates in time spent on direct and indirect work to support the client to £60/hour.

Follow On Package (for clients who have had their initial and first follow up consultations): £200

  • One 60 minute consultation (either by Zoom or in-person), to develop the next stage of the strategy for the client, including reviewing progress re symptoms and dietary, supplement and lifestyle recommendations for the health issue or body system in focus.

  • Subsequent indirect follow-up on the client’s personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, which includes:

    • Emailing the client with supportive handouts, recipes, supplement protocols, and organisation of diagnostic testing.

    • Consultation with technical advisors when tests have been run, to ensure results are clear and actionable (this often involves a 30 minute call with a technical advisor, discussing individual results in the context of case history and symptom picture).

    • One 45 minute follow-up consultation (in person or via Zoom), providing any necessary additional support, advice or resources to keep you ‘on track’ with any recommendations; and associated indirect follow-up (emailing action plans, supplement protocols, recipes etc) afterwards.

This equates in time spent on direct and indirect work to support the client to £60/hour.

The costs of supplements and diagnostic tests, if you are happy to use these, are additional and settled by clients directly with the relevant laboratory and supplement supplier.

What my clients say

 

Good nutrition will stay with me

“I'd been suffering with IBS for a number of years before visiting Tracy. With her help and support I've now overcome this. In resolving my IBS issue I also lost 2 stone and feel so much better both physically and mentally. The importance and benefits of good nutrition will stay with me for the rest of my life.”

Diet, lifestyle and advice

“I have always found Tracy very knowledgeable and supportive. She provides relevant literature on diet and lifestyle, and advice on the appropriate supplement programme to help with my health issues. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tracy to anyone.”

I can lead a normal life again

“After suffering from chronic fatigue for many years I decided to have one more go at doing something to help. I followed the protocol suggested by Tracy and now have so much more energy and feel I can lead a normal life again.”

Tracy is a wonderful therapist

“I had suffered health problems for many years and was disillusioned by the treatment I had received. Tracy was like a breath of fresh air. She took the time to listen and really empathised with my situation. I felt empowered and informed as Tracy really knows what she is talking about. I cannot recommend her enough!”

Invaluable advice

“I would definitely recommend Tracy to anyone who has a health issue they'd like to try and tackle nutritionally. Tracy is very helpful and patient and always takes the time to explain the reasons behind her recommendations and advice.”

Understand my body

“Tracy is incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the results it can have on one’s wellbeing. Through her professional yet personable attitude, she has helped me truly understand my body and the part that food plays in my everyday healthiness and happiness.”

I am very grateful

“I have lost more than a stone in weight, have brought my diabetes under control and have more energy than I have had for years – improvements I have sustained for a year. I know I will never revert as Tracy’s advice is actually easy to keep up. I am very grateful.”

Tracy has revolutionised my health!

“I had a long standing stomach problem for some years and more recently I had suffered from a succession of illnesses and little energy. Through her patient understanding and in-depth knowledge Tracy was able to discover the problems and treat me successfully.”

Professional. Knowledgeable. Caring

“Since working with Tracy on my long-term nutritional problems I have found her professional, knowledgeable, caring and with a strong desire to get to the bottom of one’s nutritional issues, no matter how long it takes.”
