Nutritional Therapy
Evidence-based approach to maximising health potential through individually formulated nutritional and lifestyle changes. It promotes the benefits of good, wholesome, unprocessed foods.
Nutritional therapy focuses on the overall nutrient value of a client's diet to ensure optimal well-being and sustained health. The therapy also encompasses lifestyle and environmental factors that might contribute to or detract from ultimate well-being.
Our nutritional therapist will normally assign an initial first-time appointment of between 60 to 90 minutes, taking a detailed case history and asking questions about diet, lifestyle, sleep quality, bowel movements, general habits, and behaviours.
After your initial consultation, we will create dietary recommendations and a lifestyle plan personalised for you, which may include dietary modifications and specific supplements or laboratory tests if needed. Follow up consultations tend to be shorter, lasting 45 minutes to an hour.

Quick Questions
Who might visit a nutritional therapist?
Anybody, from those who want to simply improve their overall diet, to individuals with more chronic health conditions.
What happens during an initial consultation?
Health history, diet and lifestyle are explored to establish imbalances and triggers. The therapist then designs a personalised Nutrition & Lifestyle Action Plan and recommends functional tests or supplements if necessary.
How many consultations will I need?
It depends on your condition, health history and commitment. Less serious issues may only require a couple of sessions; more complex issues benefit from sessions spread over a longer period.
Will I need to have tests?
Testing can help get to the root cause of symptoms, but no testing will be carried out unless agreed necessary after detailed discussion.
Will the therapist recommend expensive supplements?
The aim is always to use food first — supplements are only recommended when particularly beneficial, without overloading clients long term.
Can I have sessions with the therapist online?
Health Routes offers support and advice online and over the phone as well as face-to-face meetings.
