•    Preventative Breast health programmes and breast cancer support-  Using complementary therapies to support women with breast cancer through treatment as well as preventative breast health. I have had personal experience with breast cancer and am well aware of the importance of using complementary therapies throughout treatment and as a part of your ongoing lifestyle. Being diagnosed with breast cancer effects you physically, emotionally and spiritually. Medical treatment can often leave you exhausted and a feeling of loss. Taking control of your health through a change of diet, lifestyle and using complementary therapies can give you a new lease on life and self discovery.  There are numerous studies and research showing the positive effect of nutrients and other natural therapies for preventing tumour growth, metastasis and reducing risk factors. 

·         Bioimpedance Analysis- Bioimpedance analysis is a tool for measuring various biomarkers of aging such as fat mass, active tissue mass-(mainly skeletal muscle) cellular fluid balance and phase angle which is the quantity and quality of your metabolically active muscle- reduction in tissue quality can be caused by a deficiency of essential fatty acids, protein, electrolytes, poor digestion and absorption or toxicity.  Cellular function determines how well you absorb nutrients , eliminate toxins and regulate  fluid levels -this is a key indicator of health and ageing

           Fat distribution index – indicates the presence of metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance and is a key indicator of cellular age

         The BIA works by introducing a very small electric current (painless and harmless) into the body. The speed at which the current moves around the body indicates levels of fat and muscle as well as cellular function.

BIA is used to monitor individualised treatment programmes in terms of response and direction so is a powerful motivating tool that shows even subtle improvements. (for more information click on articles)

There are over 2000 scientifically validated studies using BIA- more info click articles
