A TIMELESS AND MAGICAL ADDRESS
A PORTRAIT OF NICOLAS MAYAUD NUTRITION EXPERT
Clinic Lemanic Magazine
Clinic Lémanic is where patients can find nutritionist and detoxicologist Nicolas Mayaud, whose avant-garde methods are proving so popular. His expertise lies in carrying out biological analyses of each patient so he can determine what change in diet would best suit them and bring them back to health and well-being. Let us explain. JOINING THE DOTS BETWEEN FOOD AND WELL-BEING
NUTRITION: A HOLISTIC AND MADE-TO-MEASURE METHOD
During the course of his career as a nutritionist, Nicolas Mayaud has explored the relationship between dietary habits and the quality of well-being. From 2012, he began devoting himself entirely to well-being and health by placing diet at the heart of his thinking. Trained at the Stelior Scientific College in Lyon, he has a nutri-detoxicologist certificate recognised by ASCA, the Swiss foundation for complementary medicine. After obtaining it, he began working as a coach in healthy eating and a nutritionist-detoxicologist while also giving conferences on healthy lifestyles and the benefits of massage, postures and gests etc. His vocation is to “give each patient the chance to take their health into their own hands again”. To do this, Nicolas Mayaud trained himself in motivational interviewing, a technique involving “questions, answers and reformulations” which requires “active listening, helping the patient face up to their reticence and motivating them” he says.
Nicolas Mayaud promotes an adapted diet, stripped of environmental toxins such as heavy metals and pesticides which have a negative impact on our health. His diagnosis favours a change in eating habits, based on the results of an OligoScan test which provides individual nutritional analysis. The OligoScan shows up “the presence of heavy metals in the blood” and can complete an analysis in just 10 minutes. The results of this heavy metal intoxication profile are different for each of us. “This excludes the possibility of a generic diet for every patient,” explains Nicolas Mayaud. So before detox sessions involving gluten-free menus, each patient undergoes blood tests to determine the strategy to follow and the goals to aim for. This is a deliberately holistic and progressive approach in the field of nutrition and it’s available at Clinic Lémanic.
REGENERATION THROUGH AN AVANT-GARDE APPROACH Since 2016, Nicolas Mayaud has been working at Clinic Lémanic in Lausanne, a reference in preventative and regenerative medicine. There the nutritionist continues to pursue - 36 -
his special method of establishing the dietary regime most suited to each patient so that they can rediscover lasting health and daily fulfilment and reconnect with that long-lost sense of well-being. Nicolas Mayaud is involved with prevention, with caring for and supporting people suffering from illness and in businesses with the “aim of raising public awareness” the brilliant nutrition expert tells us. This links in with his work as a coach, combining increased well-being through diet, the virtues of massage and professional performance.
A FOCUS ON COLONIC IRRIGATION
C
olonic dysfunction causes a great number of digestive problems as well as bloating, feeling heavy, skin problems and even chronic fatigue. Colonic hydrotherapy or irrigation is a procedure the goal of which is to effect a detoxification of the organism to improve digestion. This method consists of gently and deeply cleansing the large intestine through irrigation with tepid, filtered water in order to eliminate toxins and rebalance the metabolism. Colonic irrigation leads to great results in terms of renewed vitality, the decongestion of nearby organs, intestinal re-education, a better absorption of nutrients, a feeling of lightness, an improved quality of sleep and relief from congestion and inflammation. Fully supervised by a certified expert, this method is painless, reliable and safe. The procedure is done very discreetly in a private space with constant, medical supervision.
