What is Nutritional Health?
Nutrition for health isn’t about dieting or restriction — it’s about giving your body what it needs to function well, recover, and feel energised. It looks at how you eat day-to-day, alongside your lifestyle, symptoms, hormones, movement and long-term goals.

- Balanced nutrition — understanding how proteins, fats and carbohydrates support your body
- Meal timing and simple food planning to keep energy steady and reduce cravings
- Hydration habits that support recovery, digestion and concentration

sleep, stress, hormones and routine, which all influence results
