General Naturopathic Council

General Naturopathic Council The aim of the General Naturopathic Council is to regulate and support naturopathic practitioners in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the public.

As more and more people choose natural healthcare practitioners alongside conventional medical treatments, the public and medical professions are becoming more interested in the safe practice and efficacy of complementary therapies. In conjunction with Skills for Health, the GNC has recently developed National Occupational Standards for Naturopaths. The GNC is currently discussing voluntary self-regulation; this is an ongoing process and the site will be updated with the latest developments and achievements.

An online course designed to help educate nutrition professionals and final year nutrition students on the intricacies of working with neurodivergent adults and children.
The information will empower the listener to help support the plethora of comorbidities which can go alongside dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and autism.

These include highly selective eating, emotional dysregulation and burnout, difficulty sleeping, gut issues such as reflux and constipation, hypermobility and chronic pain; as well as the interplay with a diet high in ultra-processed foods and chronic inflammation, infections and allergies.

Neurodivergent folk often bring with them complexity over and above most other conditions in terms of their test results – you will frequently be challenged with a combination of gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, a high histamine state with high oxalates and high glutamate, alongside multiple nutrient deficiencies.
So, where do you start first?

Practical complexities may also be prominent due to highly restrictive eating, a very strong view on what they will or will not be able to change, and they can sometimes be disorganised and unable to stick to a health plan.

Cytoplan’s new Head of Nutrition, Chris Newbold, is taking to the road to deliver three CPD-approved, FREE in-person seminars for health practitioners.

He’s travelling throughout the UK during autumn to take apart our modern stress response, looking at its evolutionary origins, the neurotransmitters that orchestrate it and the complex genetic, environmental and biological system interactions that impact its function.

In this comprehensive overview of ‘how to cope’, and even embrace all that life throws at us, Chris will run through nutritional and lifestyle strategies to increase natural resilience and help people to manage — a great way to enhance your knowledge, and grow your network.

We’re really looking forward to meeting you in person for a great day of in-depth but practical education, conversation, with refreshments supplied, and an exclusive practitioner offer!

Debbie Grayson (Qualified pharmacist for over 30 years and 10 years as a registered nutritional therapist with expertise in how medications affect the body and nutrient status and strategies to support patients safely with nutrition) will be looking at the two main products currently used in the UK: Semaglutide (Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), and how they affect the body in the short and long terms:

✅ How the gut microbiome influences GLP-1 & GIP production
✅ Common side effects of weight loss injections, including the digestive system
✅ Long-term serious risks of the medication

Menopause may mark the end of reproductive years, but it opens a new chapter of adaptation, resilience, and opportunity. Beyond hot flushes and night sweats, more profound hormonal shifts ripple through the body, reshaping cardiovascular risk, bone density, joint health and nervous system function.

Modern life, with its unique pressures, stressors and environmental influences, may be altering how these patterns unfold for our clients, creating new challenges and considerations.

Following significant hormonal fluctuations during peri-menopause, how does the body adapt to the new hormonal lows, and what is the role of HRT during post-menopausal years?

Nutritional Therapist, Jules Cattell, will focus on key body systems under pressure, including nervous system function, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health, sharing clinical observations and practical nutritional and lifestyle interventions to support long-term health and confidence - guiding women towards a thriving life beyond the pause.
