Nutrition

Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care.

Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns.

Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've tried all sorts of diets, why will this be different?

Fads, celebrity diets, and "magic" recipe books may work for some people but many indivuals do not see progress or change. Nutritional Therapy is tailored to individuals and it is working together that brings about long term results.

How does it work?

A wide range of tools are used to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows the therapist to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body maintain health.

Will Nutritional Therapy help me?

The right nutritional programme can be for a range of issues and conditions. Dietary factors, imbalances and/or deficiencies may be contributing to any existing health issues. If you have any questions, then just get in touch and ask Louisa.

Why see a Registered Nutritional Therapist, not a Nutritionist?

Registered Nutritional Therapists in the UK undergo extensive training on diet, lifestyle and the impact of food and nutritional supplements on a wide variety of illnesses and on clinical practice.

Nutritionists are typicall not trained for clients on an individual basis, wheras Nutritional therapy looks at an individual’s overall health to identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how they may contribute to symptoms and health concerns.

Why might testing be needed?

Sometimes further laboratory testing helps identify the underlying cause of illness. It prevents guesswork and provides facts. Private testing tends to be more detailed; however, where possible, tests will be recommended to be done for free through your GP.
