For patients managing complex health conditions
A Personalised Clinical Nutrition Review provides a detailed assessment of your health history, dietary intake, supplements and nutritional status in the context of your current medications, to provide you with evidence-based information so you can ensure your nutritional status is supporting your body while medical treatment is in place.
Many commonly prescribed medications, and over the counter supplements, are associated with changes in your nutrient metabolism or nutrient depletion. This then impacts the effectiveness of medical treatment. By learning where any deficiencies may occur, you can speak to your care team and implement the necessary nutritional changes to ensure your body is receiving the optimal outcome and support, while medications are doing their job.
This is not a replacement for medical care. This is an extensive tool you can use in conjunction with your medical team, to ensure that your nutritional status is supporting your body while prescribed medications are doing their work. Medication management remains under the supervision of your treating doctor at all times.
The aim is to identify nutritional factors that may influence how well your body copes with treatment, helping to support energy, resilience and overall quality of life while your medical care continues.
A Personalised Clinical Nutrition Review provides you with a review and analysis of your nutritional status and provides you with a deeper understanding of how to support your body during medical treatment.
