Holistic therapist- Nutritional therapy – Functional
medicine
I work form a holistic perspective, drawing on many different sources
of knowledge. That means I combine functional and nutritional medicine,
traditional academic medical theory, ancient medical practices and
inner work for emotional healing. Of these I keep up with recent
research.
My work is focussed on making my knowledge available in as easy
a manner as possible, so that it can be put into practice daily.
In nutritional medicine treatments I work in a succession of phases.
Consequently, the suggestions I give you will together form a flexible
and simple plan of treatment.
Nutritional therapy
Nutritional medicine belongs to the category
of complimentary medicine. This means that it acts as a complement
to traditional medicine. It is based on functional medicine which
has been prepared by a group of doctors in America. Functional medicine
looks at the functions of the body and analyse how to help it work
optimal with help from natural treatments like diet, vitamins, minerals,
amino acids, herbs and enzymes. Therefore nutritional medicine is
a part of functional medicine. When making my analyses, I use their
laboratory.
What is treatable with nutritional therapy?
Nearly all conditions are treatable, as long as no surgery or physical
traumas have occurred. All kinds of stress traumas cause nutritional
changes in the body. By following a proper diet and supplementing
nutrients, the body is given a chance to heal itself. Naturally,
the cause of the illness has to be treated also. For this reason
I take into consideration the complete situation, i.e. relationships,
feelings and mental patterns in my treatments.
Symptoms I treat include
- Gastric and intestinal problems, including illnesses which have
already been diagnosed
- Allergies and other autoimmune symptoms
- Impaired immune system
- Exhaustion or unexplained tiredness
- Anxiety
- Muscle and joint problems
- Sleeping disorders
- Weight problems
- PMT and menopausal problems
Nutritional medicine treatment plan
My work is centred on making my knowledge available in as easy a
manner as possible so that it can be put into practice daily. I
will adapt the treatment depending on your needs and conditions.
You will receive information both verbally and in writing. I want
to help you understand the connections between your body’s
symptoms and what is happening in your life.
In order for you to make these changes you must
practise what you have learnt. Therefore you will receive continuous
advice from me so that you can have a better quality of life and
be more in control of it.
I work in a structured way and go through various steps with my
nutritional medicine treatments. Consequently, the suggestions I
give you will be a simple but flexible plan of treatment.
During a nutritional medicinal treatment, I’ll
recommend that you follow up on an existing treatment for a period
of time. The sessions can be less frequent as your health stabilizes.
I’ll adapt the treatment to your needs and
conditions and we plan your treatment together. Economy, geography
and commitment are important factors when making these decisions.
Your requirements may also change during the course of your treatment.
Nutritional Supplements
The cost of the supplements is usually around €120 - €160
per month for a treatment of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty
acids and herbs. This amount represents the best treatment result
for the least amount of money. When treating a manifested illness,
initially it will be difficult to get a good result below €110
per month.
The supplements I prescribe are hypo-allergenic
and free from additives which could cause new problems. The supplements
are of the highest quality in terms of purity and concentration.
They are also easy for the body to absorb. Most of the nutritional
supplements I prescribe for your program I will be able to supply.
Diet
Advice regarding your diet is easy to follow and will be adapted
to your needs at any given time. Diets are meant to be used for
a period of time to further healing. A diet is an important part
of the treatment. You will therefore take home some simple personal
advice on your diet, as well as general dietary advice related to
your body type.
During your first two sessions you will
as a rule receive:
- A thorough interview regarding your health and illness history
- Iris analysis
- Living blood analysis by microscope
- Oxidative stress blood analysis by microscope
- Analysis of your body type according to Body Typing
- Fundamental information about health and ill-health in your body
- A tailor made treatment in the form of nutritional supplements
- Clear, overall dietary advice for the future
Four things to bear
in mind before our first session
1 . If you have any results from previous analyses within the last
two years, bring them along if possible.
2. Bring any medicines or additional nutritional supplements you
use on a regular basis, as well as a list of all active ingredients.
Usually the bottle or pack will give this information.
3. I speak English and Swedish. If you need or want help with translation
from English to Dutch or the other way around, that is not a problem.
Just let me know about it when you book your session.
4. In case of cancellation, please read about Prices
& Conditions.
Practice
My clinic is located in Stockholm, Sweden, but I also work in other
European countries. A telephone session or a skype session are other
options when it’s not possible to have a meeting. We reserve
a point of time and then I call you on a land line telephone.
