Nutrition
How you feel, look, and function can be directly affected by a number of factors - but most likely your lifestyle, and in particular your daily nutrition habits.
Since recent research has established that over 70% of the entire body's immune system is located in or around the digestive system - a great deal more interest in what you eat is now getting the attention of the medical and health research scientific communities. You have heard the phrases 'You are what you eat', and that 'One man's meat is another man's poison' - well it turns out that these statements are indeed correct! No longer is a healthy diet a simple case of keeping the calories down and eating a 'balanced' diet. Each and every one of us has unique needs and metabolisms, just in the same way we differ and vary in terms of how we look.
At NKD Ambition, an individualised approach to nutrition, wellness and performance is a specialty. Using specialised tests and assessments, we are able to accurately identify nutritional, metabolic and wellness issues that can be addressed through highly customised nutrition and wellness lifestyle solutions to promote optimal performance & body composition (body fat and muscle mass levels) as well as to support dysfunctions and problems (such as weight problems, inflammation, energy level problems, high cholesterol, digestive problems, bone density issues, metabolic disorders, injury recovery etc).
For more information on the performance and wellness nutrition services available at NKD, please contact us to book your free introductory phone consultation with our nutritionist to discuss your need and the services they can provide you.
Performance Nutrition Program
In addition to the body composition analysis, a performance nutrition program provides you with detailed nutrition guidelines based on your specific metabolic and training needs. A customised nutrition 'blueprint' is created for you - clearly detailing your daily nutritional needs, and a breakdown of meals and servings required to satisfy your daily needs.
Additional support is provided to help you with meal planning by way of a customised 'meal builder' to be used in conjunction with your eating guidelines - to help you with easy and simple meal planning. For those wishing to further optimise training outcomes and recovery, evidenced based sports nutrition supplement recommendations will also be given (including protein, creatine and BCAA supplements, timing and dosage).

Wellness Diet & Lifestyle Program
For those with specific lifestyle and metabolic health related conditions (such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol problems etc), a customised lifestyle, diet and exercise program can be an invaluable part of your health management solution.
Working in conjunction with your primary health care provider, expert wellness advice and recommendation that may include evidence based diet modifications and exercise or activity guidelines are provided.

Food Antigen Intolerance Laboratory Testing
From a simple finger-prick blood sample, these laboratory tests provide a detailed assessment of food antigens produced by the body to up to 113 foods (including dairy/milk, wheat, gluten/gliadin, soya, yeast, alcohol etc), which may be causing a variety of metabolic disturbances that can result in problems with weight, energy levels, and overall wellness.
These test results are then used to help create detailed eating guidelines for you to follow, or to modify the performance nutrition program eating guidelines.
