Marie, one of our pharmacists at Murphy's Pharmacy on North Main Street, Cork, is also a nutritional therapist trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. Your first 15–20 minute consultation is free.
What nutritional therapy is
Nutritional therapy applies nutrition science to support health and energy. It looks at your diet and lifestyle to find nutritional imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms, then builds a plan that fits your life. It can support digestion and energy levels, among other things.
Why see a pharmacist who is also a nutritional therapist
Marie graduated in pharmacy from Trinity College Dublin and has worked at Murphy's for 21 years. Because she is also a pharmacist, she can take your medicines into account, including how foods and supplements interact with them.
