What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of optimum health, peak performance, disease prevention and patient care. All the cells of the human body can be made from fewer than fifty nutrients. The therapy aims to optimise the intake and absorption of these for each unique individual, thus providing the "nuts and bolts" of healing and health maintenance.
