Nutrition
Nutritional therapy at Viveka is led by one of the world's authorities, Marilyn Glenville. We assist women with a vast range of hormonal and gynaecological difficulties; support families with issues ranging from pregnancy health and breastfeeding to toddlers, teens and grandparents; and help people reach and maintain a healthy weight. Nutrition is also a central aspect of fertility support. We use effective testing and analysis and frequently work with our medical specialists in identifying and addressing allergy and intolerance.
The emphasis is on fun and abundance and supporting your optimal health - whatever your goals (maybe you want to feel more energised, or you want to boost fertility, or reduce your risk of cancer, stroke or osteoporosis, or watch your weight).
Nutritional therapy can prevent disease and it complements our specialist medical care. We have a high reputation for using nutrition as a central part of our fertility programme, with excellent results. Many people also use advice during pregnancy, to relieve menstrual disorders or pelvic pain, or to reduce elevated cholesterol levels.
You begin with a personal and lifestyle assessment and tests may be recommended to check your personal needs (e.g. hair analysis of mineral levels; stool testing for bacterial balance in your gut).
A therapist may recommend vitamin and mineral, omega essential fatty acids or antioxidant supplements, which are specially formulated so that your body easily absorbs and benefits from them. Occasionally herbal medicines are prescribed.
If you want recipe tips, we have plenty, to suit all ages and tastes. We encourage families to share our passion for healthy food and are here to help you make meals simple, delicious and healthy, whatever your stage of life.
