I thought I’d try and give a quick explanation about what a nutritional therapist actually does.
In this world of information overload, we all need a little help to make the right decisions and ensure we are on the right path to maintain our health and operate at our optimum level.
Registered Nutritional Therapists apply a science-based approach to promote individual health. They are fully qualified practitioners, minimum degree level or equivalent, who work with individuals on a one-to-one basis to support health and wellbeing. Their advice is always personalised rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and they take into account your health journey to date, future health goals and dietary preferences.
It is a whole-body approach to nutrition and lifestyle medicine that addresses the potential underlying causes of ill-health, rather than focusing on symptoms.
Nutritional therapy can support individuals with many health concerns, including but not only:
•Hormone issues
•Weight loss
•Migraines
•Sleep issues
•Digestive issues
•Stress
•Skin conditions
•Fatigue
•Diabetes
•Autoimmune diseases
*Healthy Aging
A registered nutritional therapists will work with you to ensure your health goals are achievable and ensure that all decisions and lifestyle changes are attainable and agreed by you. We are used to translating complicated science into simple personalised recommendations that fit into your lifestyle.
Unfortunately, unlike the title ‘Dietitian’, ‘Nutritionist’ isn’t protected by law so anyone can claim to be a Nutritionist - however always look for one who is registered with the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council) and/or BANT (British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) who only accept practitioners with an accredited qualification.
Nutrition science is a fascinating subject and is ever evolving and a registered nutritional therapist will always keep up to date with the most recent research and studies to ensure the best approach for our clients, this ranges from simply listening to our clients to scientific and medical testing to ensure the best possible personalised health plan.
