Don’t know whether to see a Naturopath or Nutritionist? Find out why you needn’t choose at all.

Visiting either a Naturopath or a Nutritionist is an excellent choice for improving your health and well being.

Nutritionists are trained in accessing your diet and whether or not you need additional nutrients/foods to improve your diet. They will also assess you for nutritional deficiencies based on your presenting symptoms and medical history.

At GWN all Naturopathic consultations incorporate a nutritional assessment as a standard procedure as Naturopath’s are trained in Nutrition along with many other modalities.

Naturopath’s are trained in a huge array of different modalities, from hands on acute treatments through to biochemical modalities such as herbal medicine and nutrition. However, when a Naturopath goes into practice they specialise in their areas of interest just a doctor would choose whether to become a GP or to specialise in a certain area.

Getting Well Naturally was founded on the use of diet, nutrition and herbal medicine as the basis for all consultations and treatments.

Clients of GWN effectively get two consultations in one. At GWN no Naturopathic consultation would be complete without a thorough examination of your diet and nutritional requirements and deficiencies.

So what other value can a Naturopath provide?

GWN’s Naturopathic Nutrition give’s you detailed information on which foods are best suited to your body. This goes above and beyond the stock standard recommendations about avoiding refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, etc.

When you leave your consultation with GWN you will know exactly which foods are recommended for you and those which are best avoided for optimal health. They may be foods that you previously thought were healthy.

Nutrition from a Naturopathic perspective is all about the individual and where they are at in their lives. Very specific dietary recommendations and supplements are given depending on your overall health condition.

The important thing to remember is that Food is used as Medicine in Naturopathy.

For instance, foods can mimic hormones to bring the body into balance, certain other foods can also put hormones completely out of whack. Dietary recommendations can also be used to enhance your immunity, nourish your nervous system, improve depression and anxiety, improve your skin, reduce bloating and gastrointestinal discomfort, kill bugs, improve your menstruation, boost libido, lose weight, increase energy, improve fertility, etc.
