At the Penarth Natural Health Hub Nutritional Therapy is closely linked with Allergy Therapy and Testing.
The primary goal is to get an insight, as clear as possible into the origin of your health problems. In addition to detailed nutritional assessment the Therapy includes detection of possible food or chemical allergies. This is done using muscle testing technique called Applied Kinesiology.
Simply saying, the life force of the body’s vital energies (conducted by meridians, reflexes, and all organs); are involved. The testing substances are placed, usually on the stomach and the body is “asked “by testing the strength of the designated by the relevant meridian muscle, if a tested substance is energetically “accepted” to be beneficial.
This involves the active cooperation of the individual, allowing an instant awareness of offending foods and other substances.
We all are nutritional “experts”, or, truly……… rather pretending to be. Bombarded by “diets”, weight loss clubs’ advertisements, slimming jabs, surgeries, revolutionary menus online and in newspapers with all their promises, we eventually might be certain which of the hailed approaches are going to be beneficial. Or… just more and more confusing?? Maybe I will just swallow a balloon to lose weight? Hm??? How to be certain which of these approaches are right?
And most importantly are they right just for me??or for everyone else?

Consultations and Treatments

Usually 2 follow-up appointments of 1 hr are booked after 4 to 6 weeks; to monitor the progress, carry out an allergy re-test and provide further nutritional advice.
The treatment is structured in phases so that each will prepare the ground for the next. Only in this way clients achieve maximum benefit from their nutritional changes and supplements on the route to better health.
