Nutritional Therapy

This form of therapy analyzes your diet and finds ways in which your body's strength and ability to heal itself can be improved by making changes in your eating habits. Nutritional therapy is most commonly used by dietitians and nutritionists. Practitioners such as clinical ecologists and naturopaths also often use nutritional therapy as part of their treatment.

When you first consult a nutritional ther­apist, you fill in a questionnaire about your health, illnesses, lifestyle and diet. After the therapist has looked at your answers, he or she gives you dietary advice tailored to your particular situation. You should expect to make return visits so that the therapist can assess the diet's effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments. The practitioner may also advise you to consult your doctor if you have a condition that cannot be treated solely by adjusting your diet.
