what is holistic nutrition?
What are your health goals?
How would you life change if you reached them?
When we answer these questions, we realize health is our greatest wealth.
Holistic Nutrition is an integrative and compassionate practice centred around reflective listening, understanding, and education as a means to empower you, leading you to your own intuition, strengths, intrinsic motivation, decision-making, and ability to thrive given the right circumstances. In addressing dis-ease, we focus on root-cause, suggesting personalized dietary, supplementation, and lifestyle changes that improve function of body systems and allow the body to repair itself.
You are guided in making simple shifts with profound changes to energy, mood, focus, and overall health and life experience. New lifestyle habits include optimizing circadian rhythm, sleep patterns, stress management, and vagal tone. Personalized supplementation protocols accelerate progress, improve absorption, and benefit all manner of mental and physical health.
Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, was among the first to say “all disease begins in the gut”. Many years later, new studies urge us to consider how the health of our gut and gut bacteria are fundamental to physical and mental health. Holistic nutrition functions on the premise that food, nutrients, and lifestyle have a profound impact on health and well being, and the entire body, mind, and spirit are interconnected.
Yet you are not just what you eat, you are what you absorb and digest. Personalized suggestions are made for simple meal alterations that increase absorption, nutrient density, eliminate or reduce inflammatory and allergenic foods, and balance blood sugar. Simple explanations of digestive processes inspire you to take these steps, empowering you take an active role in your health by harnessing the ability to make choices that suit your own unique needs.
Sleep
Sleep quality and quantity is at least as important as food quality and quantity.
Lifestyle
It's no secret that some hotel shampoos and soaps make you dry and itchy. We approached independent soap makers Fine Cloud to craft lavender, rose, shea butter, and coconut oil-based toiletries that leave your hair and skin soft, smooth, and smelling great. We also have fragrance-free, avocado butter varieties for those with allergies.
actionable menu ideas
Our hotel is inspired by the global mid-century modern design movement, and in turn, our on-site restaurant and café, Continental, is influenced by cuisines around the world. Famous for her fusion dishes, head chef Layla Wu creates seasonal menus that still have a little bit of English flair. That’s right, you can still get your fish and chips, but don’t be surprised to taste a little tarragon.
Simple changes that work for you
The mixologists at our bar, Refill, create innovative and delicious cocktails with a chemist’s precision. Beers crafted by London’s best breweries are on tap and rotated monthly to keep our selections interesting. We also have a small stage where musicians and entertainers of all kinds perform for the sensory delight of our guests.
