WOULD A NUTRIENT PROFILE SCREENING BE USEFUL FOR YOUR CLIENT?
 
Nutrients are essential to your health and well-being. 
They are the building blocks for every cell, nerve and organ. 
Imbalances in nutrients can contribute to a range of illnesses.
 
Imbalances can contribute to problems in the following areas: hormonal health, sleep, mood, food digestion, skin health, bone formation, energy production and antioxidant function/cell health, anaemia to name a few.
​
Most of the nutrients that the body requires are essential, meaning that your body cannot make them and you need to get them from your diet.
​
WHAT CAN CAUSE A NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY?
 
Processed foods and modern agricultural practices have depleted many nutrients from our food. So even when we eat a mostly whole food diet, we can still end up being depleted of essential nutrients such as Vitamin C or Selenium.
 
Living in today's modern world has delivered the body an array of new challenges
 
Increased stress
Nutritionally-low convenience foods 
A chemical-laden environment
​
Certain dis-eases and conditions make it difficult to eat or absorb enough nutrients for our bodies to function optimally
 
Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Diverticulitis, Coeliac disease
Autoimmune conditions
Disordered eating - Anorexia nervosa and bulimia
​​
The nutritional status of an individual depends on a number of factors, the main ones being diet, digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption. This test fully assesses your nutritional status as well as how well you digest your food.
​
The test report will provide you with a full nutrient profile, including information on its food and environmental sources, deficiency signs and toxicity symptoms.
