Finding the cause of a health problem and fixing it will make you well, but how do you stay well?
Understanding biochemistry
Ashley’s deep knowledge of functional biochemistry started when he worked in drug research decades ago. Biochemical faults are often the ‘reasons behind the reasons’ for problems. Where drug therapy tends to suppress functions, biochemistry supplies the remedies for deficiencies, for example through supplying specific minerals or vitamins. These essential nutrients are the contributing factors that allow the body’s marvellous chemistry of life to function efficiently.
Deficiencies usually occur in the West because lifestyles create excessive stress on particular systems in the body. For example, consuming too much sugar or fast-release carbohydrates tends to deplete magnesium, which in turn is needed by ligaments. This results in many problems, including lower back pain or aching. Osteopathic treatment will make you better; addressing lifestyle patterns will keep you well.
Modern life
Many people these days are stressed, tired, overweight, underweight, suffering with digestive ailments, hormonal imbalances, headaches and so on. Their lives are out of balance. Children have behavioural problems, allergies, inability to concentrate at school. At the root of many these problems is faulty biochemistry.
You are told that all you need to do is eat a healthy balanced diet, but there is no single diet that is right for everyone. So finding the diet that supplies you with all your nutritional needs and supports your individual metabolism is a huge factor in staying well. As a Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor, Ashley can help you find out what you need to eat to stay well.
