NUTRITIONAL THERAPYUNDERPINNING PRINCIPLES

NUTRITIONALTHERAPISTS

Uniquely trained to understand how nutrients and other food components

influence the function of the body, protect against disease, restore health, and determine people's

response to changes in the environment.

BIOCHEMICAL INDIVIDUALITY

PATIENT CENTRED

PROMOTION OF ORGAN RESERVEAs the means to enhance health span by maintaining genomic stability and mitochondrial capacity so decreasing morbidity.

DYNAMIC BALANCE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORSUnderstanding that resilient homeostasis (the buffering capacity to respond to a perturbation) is important for physiological equilibrium.

WEB-LIKE INTERACTIONSHuman physiology functions as an orchestrated network of interconnected systems, rather than individual systems functioning autonomously and without effect on each other.

HEALTHA state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. World Health Organisation, 1948

Understanding and appreciating the importance of variations in metabolic function deriving from genetic, epigenetic and environmental differences among individuals.

Recognition of the evidence that supports a patient-centred approach rather than a disease-centred approach. One-size-fits-all is not appropriate in the personal genome era.
