Never before have our food choices been so important for our health and wellbeing. Currently, our national UK diet is comprised of more than 50% ultra-processed foods and drinks, and our health is worsening. The UK is officially the most ‘overweight’ nation in Europe and the use of GLP-1 medications is rapidly growing. We all have very different reasons for wanting to improve health and wellbeing. Metabolic health and weight management are intrinsically linked and contribute to chronic conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, Liver Disease, Cardiovascular disease, Cancer & Mental Health. A Nutritional Therapy & Lifestyle medicine approach helps join the dots between your symptoms, dietary habits, and root causes so you can optimise your food and lifestyle habits and take the first steps back to health and wellbeing.
What is metabolic dysregulation ?
Metabolic dysregulation is a cluster of symptoms such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance and being overweight. The UK is officially on track to become the most obese country in the EU by 2030 with 63.8% of the population currently living with overweight and 25.9% with obesity. People affected by diabetes has topped five million for the first time. The use of GLP-1 medications is growing fast without the necessary nutrition and lifestyle wraparound care. These symptoms are all modifiable by diet and lifestyle so optimising the foods you eat, building in more physical activity, reducing your stress levels and improving sleep can all make a big difference to improving your health.
