"All diseases begin in the gut" - Hippocrates
Jaya Dhingra: Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Nutritional Therapy is the process of evaluating and responding to the dysfunction
and warning signs our body is giving us
We are what we eat, digest and absorb
Our body can heal itself with a little help. Nutritional Therapy doesn't treat medical conditions, but works on balancing your body and boosting your immune system, enabling your body to heal itself. Its not about treating the symptoms, but understanding them and getting to the root cause.
I can help with...
Boosting your immune system
A weak immune system can increase your chances of getting sick. I can help put you on the path to strengthening your immune system, helping the body maintain a strong defense against viruses and bacteria.
Reducing body inflammation
Constant inflammation can lead to ill-health, making our bodies vulnerable to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even obesity over the years. I can help with balancing the inflammation levels of the body, which in turn can lead to reduction in body weight, lowered cholesterol levels, and reduced stress on your system.
Understanding your food sensitivities
Food sensitivities can manifest themselves as digestive problems, fatigue, headaches or brain fog. Pantry Affairs will work with you to identify your food sensitivities, and adjust your diet to manage portions, or switch out the food entirely without making any nutritional compromises.
Lifting your energy levels
The foods that we consume play an essential role in determining our energy levels, and our productivity throughout the day. I support my clients in transitioning to a diet that not only nourishes the body, but also lifts your energy, maintains your alertness, and sharpens your focus throughout the day.
Redesigning your pantry
A healthy pantry, stocked with nutrient dense, whole foods can be the source of all the energy and nourishment you and your family need. One of the first things I teach my clients is to interpret food labels, empowering them to make the right choices to nourish their bodies.
Work with Jaya
Free introductory session (in-person or virtually via Skype/FaceTime)
Before formally engaging clients, I always hold a complimentary 20-min session to better understand:
- your health goals,
- the roadblocks you're facing,
- the outcomes you're seeking, and
- whether a Nutritional Therapy approach can help you achieve your goals
One-on-One (in-person or virtually via Skype/FaceTime)
One-on-one consultations will enable me to understand your bio-individuality through an interview and a Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire. Your responses will allow me to develop dietary changes, lifestyle recommendations and/or stress-management depending on your bio-individual needs.
Once you have followed the recommendations, we can dig deeper and conduct a Functional Clinical Assessment, which is a series of palpitations on the reflex points to identify imbalance in the body. The aim is to understand and support under-functioning organ(s). Findings from these tests may require us to tailor your future recommendations.
Nutritional Therapy is an ongoing process. The body needs time to recover, and it flourishes only when given the right nutrients.
Corporate and community events
Nutrition can often take the back seat when it comes to working, time-poor families. At corporate and group events, I speak about easy-to-make dietary and lifestyle changes that can set you on a path toward a healthier, happier and more energetic you.
I will address general dietary changes, addressing food-cravings, interpreting food labels, avoiding common mistakes when it comes to buying / cooking, and most importantly, a review of your pantry.
