Nutritional Therapy with Eli Ferracci

YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH

The most accurate indicator of longevity is dedication

Modern society’s fast moving pace does not support the human body’s optimal functioning. 

We are bombarded by unhealthy food, drink and product choices at every turn, 24/7. 

Junk food, junk products, junk light, poor sleep, increased stress are the results and do not support human’s physiology. Is it any wonder any kind of disease is on the rise? 

Even with the best of intentions, it’s hard not to succumb to temptation, not to mention all the conflicting information and the latest diet fads. 

So what can you do?

A natural approach to healthcare

I care about people’s health and wellbeing and offer natural alternatives to today’s complex challenges for the body. 

I aim to find the root causes that have led to the development of the current situation. A personal programme of recommendations is then suggested to address different aspects of the problem, including modification of current eating patterns, nutritional supplements and changes that you can realistically incorporate into your lifestyle, with follow up reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrections and make tweaks as necessary.

Together we will tackle different aspects of the problem and devise a realistic series of interventions leading to improvement, adaptable to your lifestyle and sustainable over time.

I work in a collaborative way, supporting you in making conscious choices to optimise your health, in a relaxed non-judgemental environment and nurturing positive lasting changes.

Maintenance packages are available for those who would like to keep momentum going and not fall back into old pattern or sabotage on the path to change. 

Bespoke packages available. To see Eli’s profile page.
