Nutrition

Nutrition is the discipline that studies the role of food in relation to health, wellbeing, and disease prevention. It’s a key pillar in both traditional and modern medicine. At its core, nutrition science focuses on supporting the body’s physiological functions through the right nutrition, tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Food provides essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, that are vital for growth, repair, energy production, hormone balance, and immunity. An unbalanced diet or nutritional deficiencies can lead to fatigue, digestive issues, mood swings, skin problems, or chronic illness.

Mesology & Nutrition: an Integrative Approach

In Mesology, nutrition is used in a personalized and therapeutic way. A mesologist doesn’t just look at what you eat, but how your body digests and absorbs it. Through physical assessments, regulation testing, and in-depth consultations, a tailored nutrition plan is developed, one that works with your body, not against it.

Mesology combines nutrition science with insights from orthomolecular medicine, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This allows for targeted advice on nutrient-rich foods, detoxification, supplementation, and gut health. Nutrition is not only used to relieve symptoms but to address the root causes of dysfunction and activate the body’s innate healing capacity.

Common Topics in Nutrition Science:

• Blood sugar imbalances

• Gut dysbiosis and digestive complaints

• Food intolerances

• Nutrient deficiencies

• Chronic fatigue

• Weight management issues

• Skin conditions like eczema or acne

• Mental health and mood issues linked to food
