Weight Management

Millions of people across the world are currently ‘dieting’ to shed those extra pounds or kilos, but does it work? Keeping weight off in the long term is very different from following the latest ‘diet.’ Trying to follow something which doesn’t really fit into our life is hard to stick to and weight gain can often happen, when the diet is inevitably ‘broken.’

Our day to day life is made up of many habits. The key to successful weight loss that lasts is changing these habits by developing the right skills and strategies to deal with them.

Managing our weight is a challenge and many factors can play a part in our success. Laura can help you understand all aspects of your weight management and sort the facts from the fiction about what will work. Together, you can look at all the issues involved and come up with a way forward that works for you.

Type 2 Diabetes

You may have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or had it for some time. Diabetes is a chronic condition, although it can’t be cured, it can be treated very successfully.
The ideal aim of treatment is to achieve blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels as near to normal as possible. This, together with a healthy lifestyle, will help to improve your wellbeing and protect against long-term damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and major arteries. What you eat, how much activity you do and what your weight is are therefore central to your treatment for diabetes. Laura can look at all these factors with you and help you to work out a plan to suit you.
You may be taking tablets and/or insulin to help you achieve normal blood glucose levels. Information from your medical practitioner on your medical treatment and medication would be needed, prior to your consultation.

Nutrition and Fertility

A healthy balanced diet, which gives your body all its essential nutrients for health and wellbeing, is really important when trying to conceive. Being a healthy body weight is also important before pregnancy. If you're underweight, it can be more difficult to conceive and if you're overweight, you run a greater risk of complications such as high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy.

Keeping healthy is also important for the father to be. A good balance of nutrients within the diet, particularly vitamins and minerals, has a vital role to play in male fertility.
