This can be a difficult area to manage alone without adequate guidance and here at Surrey Nutrition Clinic we use a variety of investigations to provide you with a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to guide and support you in your discovery and maintenance of your personal health and wellbeing. This includes specific and personalised advice using investigations and careful history taking to support/improve your energy levels, concentration, weight and overall health.
The body must maintain a complex and dynamic metabolic and bio-energetic equilibrium which is constantly challenged by external or internal stressors. While we often think of stress as a bad thing stress of various forms is actually required to maintain this equilibrium. Exercise for example is a form of stress as is intensive mental effort but most people realise that engaging in exercise and mental tasks is much better for us than vegetating in front of the TV. Optimal health is achieved by understanding both the positive and negative effects of various stressors and finding the optimum balance of different sources of stress – hence the concept of optimal stress management.
The tissues that maintain our ability to manage stress successfully are very dependent upon nutrition, and the availability of nutrient rich foods to ensure optimal response and maintenance of homeostasis. There are many other factors involved but a healthy diet and lifestyle along with suitable targeted support can make a real difference to your energy and stress management.
