Nutri-Concepts Holistic Health Services
Nutritional and Environmental Medicine
Nutritional Therapy
Nutritional and biochemical assessment and treatment of nutrient imbalances
and deficiencies form the baseline of every successful therapy.
We are not only what we eat, but more what we absorb. When digestive functions
are impaired, vital nutrients cannot reach our cells. This produces a state
of 'dis-ease', resulting in lowered energy, mood swings, physical and mental
lethargy, aches and pains, sleeping problems, frequent colds, poor immunity,
and a feeling of general unwellness.
Weight Management
Overweight, underweight, food cravings, water retention, swelling, fatigue,
bloating, etc are symptoms of a metabolic system out of balance. Nutri- Concepts
assesses individual metabolic types, food intolerance, allergies and dietary
history.
Our easy to follow weight management program helps you to achieve your desired
weight then maintain it. Special nutrition programs designed for very active
people and athletes are also available.
Tissue and Mineral Analysis
Trace minerals are essential to the multitude of metabolic functions and cellular processes. Trace elements are the most important factors in human nutrition. The human body can produce many vitamins but not necessary trace elements! Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is a specialised laboratory test that enables the detection of imbalances and deficiencies of certain elements and the presence of toxic metals. This allows the clinician to assess the patients health status before acute problems develop.
Intestinal Cleansing and Parasite Control
Most diseases begin in the colon! Constipation is estimated to affect
over 50% of the population, sometimes alternating with diarrhoea. Fecal matter
can remain in the colon for weeks, even months, impacted in pockets and causing
fermentation and toxic putrefaction products, This is possible even if a person
has 'normal' and 'regular' bowel movements.
Conventional colon therapy or enemas fail to address the part of the intestine
where nutrient absorbtion takes place and where most parasites reside: the small
intestine.
Our GIT program treats the entire gastrontestinal tract, also supporting liver,
gallbladder, pancreas and restoring proper absorption and rehabilitation.
Tissue Detoxification
Before treatment can be fully effective, toxins of all kinds must be removed
from the cells and tissue. These toxins include heavy metals such as lead, mercury
and cadmium as well as nicotine, herbicides, pesticides, petrochemicals and many
synthetic medications.
Hormonal Health
From puberty to meopause/ andropause and beyond, the human hormone cycle can
present specific problems due to nutritional deficiencies, stress, environmental
toxins ( hormone disrupters, xeno-estrogens). We offer comprehensive programs
for patients seeking help with PMS, Natural Fertility Management, menopause and
prostate problems.
Cellular Health Analyis
CHA (Bioimpedance Analysis) is a scientifically validated test that accurately
measures the biological markers of aging. This allows the practitioner and client
to monitor changes and progress. Biological Anti-aging and Cell-Wellness Programs
are fast becoming the most sought after modules in Nutritional Medicine.
The most important factors in aging are toxicity, biological age, active tissue
mass and fat mass. These and other major markers can be accurately measured and
monitored using Cell Health Analysis. Toxicity reduces active tissue mass and
accelerates biological aging while decreasing immunity.
The combination of our Health Assessment, Hair Mineral Analysis and Cellular
Health Analysis enables us to accurately target the areas that need immediate
attention. If neccessary, specific blood tests are requested. Patients suffering
from Chronic Fatigue, recurring infections, degenerative diseases, cancer, and
auto-immune conditions especially value the combination of Tissue Mineral Analysis
and Cellular Health Analysis as a means of monitoring the progress of their treatment.
Cancer Support
Many patients diagnosed with cancer undertake their own research and ask for
support and guidance. Whether a patient decides to undergo conventional medical
treatment ( chemotherapy, radiation), or not, we respect their decision and offer
nutritional/biochemical support. Our office has a comprehensive referral database
of integrative/holistic medical specialists in Australia and overseas who provide
well researched alternatives.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( CFS)
CFS is of particular interest to Veronica who
was poisoned by agricultural spray drift and suffered from the disease for
many years. The allopathic medical doctors she consulted were unable to help
her.
Following extensive studies in the USA and Australia she researched the
subject for the most up to date treatments and eventually cured herself.
Since
then, Veronica has helped hundreds of patients suffering from CFS as well as
other illnesses and disorders, resume happy productive lives.
At her clinics
in Yungaburra and Cairns, Veronica Griffin offers individual treatment programs
tailored to each patient. A wide range of options are available for patients
seeking to take charge of their own health.
