The foundations of health, mood and behaviour.

The importance of nutrition

It is common knowledge that good nutrition is one of the bases for a happy and healthy baby and child. Parents seek a healthy diet for their babies and children but they can feel overwhelmed and stressed about what to eat (foods), when to eat (eating habits) and how to eat (cooking, meal ideas) and when to compromise. There are too many options and contradictory messages which only adds to the confusion.

Nutrition is as much about the choice of foods to add in a baby and child’s diet as the choice of foods/artificial substances to remove that can be damaging his/her health.

The science of personalised nutrition

Nutritional science shows that there is simply not one diet-fits all approach. While one food may be healthy for one child, it may make another child sick.

Each baby and child presents with unique needs (biochemistry, nutritional status), predisposition (genetics, personality) and story (health and stress history).

Personalised nutrition connects symptoms with the needs, predispositions and the child’s story to make strategic nutritional recommendations for optimal health.

The Solution

It is detective work which goes beyond superficially suppressing symptoms but rather taking time to identify and put an end to the root cause of what is making a baby or child unwell. A crucial part of my work is to educate parents around the best nutrition for their babies and children so that they can take charge and support their children with confidence and make informed choices.

Testimonials

Having struggled for years with various gut related issues, throwing money at GP's, specialists, consultants, gastro-enterologists, which got me nowhere, I decided to take a different approach. Belen came highly recommended from a friend. HER HOLISTIC, KNOWLEDGEABLE WHOLE BODY APPROACH IS REFRESHING. She looks at nothing in isolation and will get to the root cause of whatever is causing the problem. Be prepared to put in a couple of months work. Results will be worth it. Highly highly recommend.

DONAL GLESSON

Belen looked into the health of my gut and microbiota through a stool test. I was struck by the amount of information and precision in it. I learnt about my digestion, the state of my essential gut microbes and the presence of unwanted bacteria. Further to the test results, Belen was able to target the plan with foods and natural supplements. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, MOST OF MY HEALTH ISSUES WERE GONE, including the ones not specifically related to my gut! I now understand the importance of stool testing and gut health for overall health' I highly recommend Belen!

DEIDRE COLEMAN

Belen was recommended to me by a work colleague and I'm delighted I've decided to go on the journey of better nutrition. I became vegetarian 2 years ago and I thought that I was doing things right by eating a lot of vegetables but I didn't REALISE I WAS MISSING OUT ON A LOT OF OTHER ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS AND THAT HAD AN IMPACT ON MY OVERALL GUT HEALTH. Belen explained everything to me using simple words and giving me practical recommendations. IT'S A JOURNEY BUT IT'S VERY MUCH WORTH IT. I had the chance to do both online and face to face consultation and both are great!
