Fibromyalgia
Exploring the underlying causes of your fibromyalgia is essential for effective management and treatment. In my functional nutrition practice, I am dedicated to providing tailored support that encompasses not only physical but also emotional and mental health, helping you establish sustainable lifestyle changes.
"Fibromyalgia demands more than just pain management—it requires a holistic approach to nourishment that heals the body from within."
My approach goes beyond conventional treatments, focusing on several key factors that can profoundly influence your condition:
​
-
Personalised Nutrition: Bespoke nutritional advice to help manage pain and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia. My guidance includes selecting anti-inflammatory foods that nourish your body and identifying foods that might trigger symptoms.
​
-
Exercise: Recognising that fibromyalgia patients often experience heightened sensitivity to pain, I recommend gentle exercises to increase muscle strength and flexibility without exacerbating symptoms.
​
-
Hormonal Balance: I look at your entire endocrine system, as hormonal imbalances can often exacerbate fibromyalgia symptoms. I develop strategies to help restore balance, aiming for symptom relief.
​
-
Sleep: Sleep disturbances are common in fibromyalgia. I provide strategies to improve sleep patterns, recognising the vital role of rest in pain management and hormonal regulation.
​
-
Stress Reduction: I understand the significant impact stress has on fibromyalgia. My stress management techniques are aimed at reducing stress to prevent flare-ups and promote overall well-being.
​
-
Gut Health: The link between gut health and chronic pain is well-documented. My approach includes enhancing gut health through diet and lifestyle changes to improve overall health and mitigate fibromyalgia symptoms.
​
-
Environmental Toxins: I offer practical advice on minimising contact with environmental toxins that may aggravate your condition.
​
-
Detoxification: I help you support your body’s natural detoxification processes, which can be crucial in reducing the build-up of toxins that may trigger fibromyalgia symptoms.
