About Eleanor
Eleanor Winters (BA (hons) Genetics, PgDip NT, mNTOI) is the founder of Nutritional Therapy Clinic, Embody Health, where she provides individually-tailored consultations to clients in Dublin, Galway, and online. They come highly recommended too - we have both been to see Eleanor and have found her a wealth of knowledge with a beautiful and charming manner, so do not hesitate to book an appointment with her!  Eleanor attributes her success to keeping up to date with the latest scientific research, while adopting a holistic approach with clients. She incorporates nutrition and lifestyle advice along with goal-setting into her consultations. "No two people are the same so no two consultations are the same".

Food choices affect Mind, Body and Soul
In my work, I have found that the most important thing is to educate people to understand how mind, body and soul respond to our food choices. Once you listen to and understand this connection to your physical body, you will never fall back to the unconscious habits of your former life for long! You will learn to accept that sometimes 60% effort is okay, while other times you'll strive for 100% and be really proud and motivated because you feel so good! Once you realise how alive, energetic and youthful you can feel by nourishing and cleansing your physical body, you can never stray far. If you have suffered from chronic pain, sleep disorders or low mood, all of these obstacles can be overcome, and rather than feeling like a hindrance, your physical body can truly be the vessel that carries you forward on your life's purpose.

Eleanor's Unique Approach
Everyone is unique, and needs to be treated as such. I take a detailed history of every new client I meet, learn their goals of health and well-being and what motivates them. Then, based on this, we design your "perfect plan". I recognise that as life's demands, challenges and gifts change weekly or monthly, we need to revisit and tweak your plan, so that you are empowered and supported in your journey to optimal health.

Anybody can find a scientifically perfect diet and stick to it for a short period of time, but that's hard work and never lasts! A better approach is to find your balance, to find what works best within your lifestyle, work and family demands to achieve your personal goals. This might only require making 2 or 3 simple changes for you to start seeing results, or in some situations, just learning the healthiest shortcuts!

Who is it for?

A tailor-made nutrition package can help to enhance the areas of your life that you most want to improve. I have tai chi and meditation practitioners who come to me with the primary purpose of enhancing their mental resilience and ability to focus and concentrate. I work with people who want to feel less stressed, more emotionally balanced and energetic, as well as sports athletes and those who are dealing with chronic pain or more serious diagnoses. Many people want to move away from reliance on medication, and reconnect with their body's inner strength and natural rhythm. In many cases I use natural herbs and supplements to support individual goals.

What Eleanor doesn't do
Many health and fitness regimes use guilt as their main motivator. I have a major problem with this. If our goal is overall optimal health, then emotional and spiritual health must always take precedence over our striving for physical health. Better to eat a cake with joy and gratitude than to eat the same cake with guilt or shame. Guilt is destructive and the root of many illnesses, and nurturing these negative emotions can lead us to quit more readily. However, if we enjoy a treat and receive it with gratitude, we are much more likely to keep a positive mindset and focus on making more positive life changes. My key message here is

"We must love ourselves, be gentle with ourselves, and always undertake a new health regime as a positive gift to ourselves, not a punishment!"
