Micronutrition
Micronutrition is a discipline that studies the essential ‘micronutrients’ present in food and their impact on our metabolism and our health. The goal is to improve physical and mental well-being through our diet.
Our diet has been greatly modified in recent decades and further compounded by the evolution of our lifestyles which often results in stress and increased exposure to pollution. These factors have contributed to depleting vital micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, pre and probiotics, amino acids, fatty acids, and fibres. In certain periods of life (such as childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, menopause) and certain activities (such as intensive sport) we require specific nutritional contributions.
A micronutrition specialist carries out a micronutrient assessment based on the patient’s diet and lifestyle, blood tests, and medical history. The objective is to:
Detect micronutrient deficits which, over time, can contribute to the aetiology of certain disorders such as chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, sleep disorders, mood changes, low energy, food intolerances, etc.
Return to a sustainable balance by integrating the good practices of a “healthy diet” in daily meals.
We offer an osteopathic consultation that includes a thorough assessment of the patient’s metabolism and personalised recommendations on nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle.
