Nourishing Insights is a family business and family is very much at the heart of what we do. We consider all of our customers to be an extension of our family and as such we want to support each and every one of you with only the very best that natural medicine has to offer.
We take for our strap line the famous Hippocrates quotation, 'Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food' . Isn't it amazing to think that Hippocrates who is seen as the father of modern medicine had this incredible insight and wisdom all those years ago in 600 B.C. Where did it all go wrong?
As Beverley is a registered and clinically trained Nutritional Therapist, she was acutely aware that the best and up to date and professional support was only available to those with money to pay for a consultation. For many of the public, this is inaccessible. The vision behind having a shop facility is around giving everyone who comes in the best and most up to date information and putting them on the right path towards their own health goals. Interestingly, it has been wonderful to receive many already who come into our store just to ask questions or confirm something they have read. They don't feel any pressure to buy anything and that is exactly what we want Nourishing Insights to be about.
Our own personal ethics and professionalism have led us to a very carefully chosen range of products. If it is in Nourishing Insights, then you can be assured it has a strong evidence base as is the case with our nutritional supplements. We very much educate the public that supplements need to be the right dosage, have the right co-factors, be taken appropriately and we also check drug-nutrient interactions. We also refer people back to their doctor for further testing if we feel there is a concern. Often, people buy poor quality, ineffective products and wrongly assume that natural health doesn't work. The issue here being, either it was the wrong supplement for them or it was an ineffective dosage among other challenges. Something else that makes us unique is that we give nutritional advice. Supplements alone are not enough, and we are privileged to share our knowledge and tips for both nutrition and lifestyle.
We have chosen to specialise in foods that are organic, gluten and dairy free and without hidden nasties. Our foods are organic because we don't believe that pesticides have a place in a health promoting lifestyle. It is also fair to say that many of the foods in the 'free from' market are not necessarily free from nasties. All of our foods are carefully chosen and every ingredient has been scrutinised to reflect our own high standards. This is also true for our skincare range as what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies. The only ingredients in our face and bodycare products are oils, essential oils and botanicals. There is not a single unpronounceable chemical lurking behind the beautiful packaging.
One brand we are passionate about is Beauty Despite Cancer who share our ethics for safe and effective skincare. Their products have been designed specifically with the help of University Hospital, North Staffs to help those going through cancer treatments to cope with the side effects for both hair and skin. They are a unique and truly remarkable company and we are proud to be associated with them.
