Daniel O’Shaughnessy
NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST
I was born into a family where good nutrition was at centre stage in the household so naturally my love for good food began at an early age. My mother was a successful coach for a popular weight loss company and this really fuelled his interest in nutrition.
It was not until finishing university after studying a degree in Criminal Justice with Law that he decided to follow a career in addiction. Working as a therapist for over 6 years, I assisted individuals recovering from drug and alcohol issues. After seeing the power of nutrition within the body and its impact on his clients, I decided that this was his real passion and I went on to study Nutritional Therapy at the world-renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition.
I have received training in gastro-intestinal health problems, the nutritional management of energy imbalances, female hormone imbalances (including fertility, PMS, menopause), mood swings, dermatological (skin) health, immune health, and helping to address body composition and weight management needs.
Session description:
Before the first consultation, I’ll usually provide a health and nutrition questionnaire for the client to complete. An initial consultation typically lasts 60 minutes, and in this time you’ll be asked detailed questions about current health concerns, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, medical history, family history, lifestyle, levels of physical activity, use of medication and supplements and diet. I’ll then evaluate individual needs and use the extensive evidence base for nutritional science to develop a personalised, safe and effective nutrition and lifestyle programme.
Tests and supplements may be recommended and this will be discussed at your initial consultation. I believe in collaboration with health providers. If you have a medical need, I suggest that a visit to your GP is priority before booking an appointment with me. I also recommend that you inform your GP that you intend to work with a Nutritional Therapist.
