Nutritional Therapy

The primary focus of Nutritional Therapy is ‘Food as Medicine’, and Lindsay & Kirsty implement evidence-based dietary modifications tailored to the client’s needs to optimise health and wellness. This could include recommended foods, specific dietary interventions, diagnostics, supplements, lifestyle changes, and other modalities where needed.

Nutritional Therapy is about shifting from a traditional disease-centered approach which focuses on symptom management, to ascertain the root cause of an underlying disease or imbalance through whole-body analysis.

Nutritional Therapy assesses the whole person and how each system within the body is functioning (or not functioning as the case may be). Consultations are in-depth and cover;

• Past and present medical history
• Family medical history
• Environmental factors (e.g. where you live & work
• Bodily systems - nervous, endocrine, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive, immune, musculoskeletal, integumentary
• Lifestyle (e.g. sleep, work, exercise)
• Relationship with food
• Health goals

You can ask them anything you like. If you have any burning nutrition questions or health concerns that you want to address, and want to understand how nutrition can help, then book a slot with them using the booking links above.

If you can’t find a time that suits you, drop them an email at studionourish@rossbarr.com and they will do their best to accommodate.

By using a Functional Medicine approach, Lindsay & Kirsty identify and address the root causes of your symptoms looking at how the entire body is working, rather than an isolated part. This holistic and comprehensive approach to your health forms the basis of how they help you to live and feel better.

Their packages start with a detailed health intake form, followed by an in-depth one hour consultation. On the basis of your results, a personalised nutritional and lifestyle protocol will be created for you, one that is scientifically validated and easy to follow, along with any recommended functional tests to assess in more detail what’s happening inside your body. Your bi-weekly check-ins thereafter will focus on monitoring your progress, tweaking and optimising your plan to suit you, and ensuring, with plenty of support and guidance, that you are staying on track.

You will be given access to an app where you can complete a weekly diet diary, access your plans and monitor your progress,  plus ask questions or keep in touch with Lindsay & Kirsty. 

They’d love to work with you and help you address the pain points you have around your health. Either book a free 15min call so they can assess what package would be right for you, or drop them an email at studionourish@rossbarr.com and go from there.

They work using packages, as its impossible to fix things in one off sessions, and on an ad hoc basis. They see better results when we work closely with you, consistently, over a set period. Their packages reflect the typical time that health issues associated with hormones start to shift.

The 15 mins calls allow them to understand what it is you are looking to address, and a brief overview of what your health situation is. From this they recommend the right package for you. See here for more information on their packages.

Functional testing allows us to accurately assess what’s happening inside your body by a variety of ways; blood draws, urine samples, saliva tests, stool tests and hair samples. Coupled with your health history and goals, functional testing helps us be more specific with identifying the underlying causes of your symptoms and allows us to be totally targeted with your nutritional plans.

Tests include;

• Full blood analysis
• Full hormone blood analysis
• DUTCH hormone profiles
• Comprehensive stool tests
• Hair mineral and toxicity
• DNA and genetic testing
• Fertility profiles (for both women and men)
