Qualified nutritional therapists consider an individual's health through diet, lifestyle and genetic factors. They are trained to identify and address imbalances in the body that might be contributing to a person’s experience of health.
Unlike the general dietary advice we are all bombarded with online and on our social media feeds, nutritional therapy focusses on evidence-based, personalised recommendations – 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁. It considers the unique needs of individuals, and tailors interventions in a way that works for the person.
BANT (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) is the leading professional body for nutritional therapy, regulating the training, CPD and activities of its members. Working with a BANT-registered nutritional therapist ensures that our clients receive evidence-based, ethical and safe care. We adhere to strict codes of practice, and have to commit to ongoing education each year to keep up with latest research.
You want to make sure that what you are eating is the right thing for you, for your life stage, for your health condition. Whether it is perimenopause and future-proofing health, wanting to manage cholesterol levels or prediabetes with diet, support your gut health or IBS symptoms, what we eat can have a significant impact.
You can spend time trying to work it all out by looking online, with opinions from influencers and celebrities. Or you could work with a BANT-registered nutritional therapist to get bespoke, personalised advice with practical tips that work for you.
