Natalie Harms (BHSc Nut Med) has a university qualification in Nutritional Medicine and uses her knowledge of food, its impact on health and your individual situation to look at your health holistically and make diet and lifestyle recommendations to help you achieve optimum health. Her approach is evidence-based and draws on the latest biomedical and scientific research to develop treatment approa
ches to illness and disease, for primary prevention and to promote optimal health and well-being. Nutritional deficiencies or imbalances, lifestyle choices and exposure to environmental toxins can result in dysfunction, illness or disease. Nutritional medicine treatment aims to correct the underlying causes as well as providing symptomatic relief. Treatment recommendations may involve removing or increasing certain foods, lifestyle changes and prescription of supplements such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids where diet and lifestyle alone cannot correct physiological imbalances. Health conditions that can be addressed with nutritional medicine include diabetes, weight management, fatigue, insomnia, low energy, mood disorders, PMS, hormonal issues, menopause, gastrointestinal or digestive issues, stress, recurrent illness and infections, cardiovascular disease and mental health.
