All naturopathic consultations include a thorough assessment of the patient’s diet. Many people believe they are making wise food choices which are in fact harmful to their health.

Some examples are commercial fruit juices, which are high in sugar, and muesli bars that are loaded with nasties. Jennifer advocates the point that simple foods in balanced portions are the cheapest and healthiest choices. She said when some people went shopping they might spend a fortune on sauces and packaged foods and condiments, but if they threw those out and instead purchased fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, chicken, naturally fermented cheeses, preservative free breads, and unprocessed cereals they would live longer and have more energy.

Many people fell victim to the fat free food fad, and wondered why their cholesterol went through the roof. She said this was a complex area which she was faced with on a daily basis. The body required a daily amount of about 70 grams of healthy fats such as virgin olive oil and nuts to burn body fat.

She said it was also important to include a balanced portion of protein in each meal to maintain energy and muscle mass. People often deprived themselves of cell building amino acids however this could lead to hypoproteinuria, where the body stored excess water, and had low muscle to fat ratios.

Bribie Natural Health can provide VLA bioimpedence analysis reports which show the exact parameters for fat, muscle and fluid composition as well as cellular health. The software calculated the patient’s calorie, protein, fat, carbohydrate and water requirements to adjust imbalances.

Jenny said many people presented with food sensitivities, and she was able to provide them with a detox diet of low reactive foods followed by an elimination rotation diet.
