Food is the primary source of fuel for our body. After the food we consume has been broken down, it makes up the chemical structure of our body tissues. The quality of food we consume, which is then breakdown into individual nutrients and gets assimilated through the body’s ‘metabolic engine’, can highly affect our overall health and how well our body functions and resists infections or disease.

A state of ‘Adequate Health’ – a term most appropriate to how we live in the Western world, relates to a physical state of ‘imperfect’ health. Living our lives in the ‘Adequate Health’ world, we don’t suffer any serious illness, but yet put up with niggling, repetitive, regular symptoms of different conditions. These symptoms can present from anything as simple as weight gain, headaches, migraines, arthritic pain, skin conditions (acne, eczema, dermatitis), digestive complaints (IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, excessive wind, indigestion), menstrual symptoms (PMS including water retention, abdominal or back pain, menstrual migraines, PMT), allergies, menopausal symptoms, anxiety, depression, food intolerances, and the list goes on.

Using a naturopathic approach to Nutrition, Maya can help gradually bring her patients out of a state of established disease or ‘Adequate Health’ and more towards a healthier, more balanced state of ‘Optimal Health’. Maya empowers her patients to make the best choices in their day-to-day life so they can achieve, enjoy and maintain a state of ‘optimal health’ long term.
