Personalised nutrition, not a one-diet-for-all plan
Patricia Smith is a qualified Nutritionist (B.Sc.) at Equilibrium in Tākaka, Golden Bay. Her focus is real, natural, unprocessed food — matched to your goals, preferences, and lifestyle — with Touch for Health muscle testing available when food sensitivities or supplement choices need clarifying.
How Patricia works with food
Conflicting diet advice is common. Patricia’s approach is practical: start from where you are, choose food that nourishes your body, and build habits you can keep. Labels matter less than what you put on your plate. Sessions can cover meal ideas, recipes that suit you, and how to reduce confusion around food choices.
- Personalised nutrition grounded in real food
- Food choices matched to your situation and preferences
- Support around food sensitivities and intolerances
- Supplement matching when kinesiology indicates it may help
- Metabolic and life-stage nutrition (including post-menopause)
Food, digestion, energy, and life stage
Many clients come with a clear concern. These pages describe how Patricia combines nutrition and kinesiology for common search intents:
- Food intolerances — muscle testing for intolerances and supplements
- Digestive health — food-led support for digestion concerns
- Metabolic balance — inflammation and metabolic support
- Menopause nutrition — post-menopause and life-stage food support
- Who this helps — full support hub
Kinesiology alongside nutrition
Muscle testing can explore which foods and supplements suit you, and at what dose. Patricia also offers Touch for Health Kinesiology as a standalone service or combined with nutrition. Many clients use both.
Recipes as a supporting library
A small set of first-party recipes from Patricia’s practice sits under nutrition as kitchen inspiration — not the main focus of the site. Session work remains personalised to you.
