Clinical Nutritionist - Tammy Thornton
Additional Information
Functional Clinical Nutritional Medicine works to find the cause of health conditions rather than masking the signs and symptoms the health condition may be presenting with. Working to consider all aspects of a persons life including their birth, upbringing, previous ailments, family history, sleep patterns, stress levels among numerous aspects of an individual that can be contributing to disease and find the underlying cause this is an approach that considers that person as a whole rather than just their signs and symptoms.
Clinical Nutritionist consultation includes:
- Initial consultation takes 90 minutes; follow up consultations take 60 minutes
- Thorough exploration of your presenting complaint
- Full detailed case history including
- Physical examinations which may include blood pressure, weight, muscle, hydration assessment
- Patient outcome measures completed
- Dietary and lifestyle overview
- Assessment of any pathology results you may have including request for further pathology tests if required
From here a comprehensive treatment plan will be formulated that considers all aspects of the case and how to achieve the best outcomes through dietary and lifestyle modifications, nutritional supplementation if necessary and referral to various modalities such as functional blood and other tests to confirm or eliminate potential diagnosis if required. Something that sets nutritional medicine apart is the ability to compound together a specific formulation that suits client needs rather than a nutraceutical that is off the shelf and 'one size fits all' approach.
