Nutrition Consultancy

Nutrition consultancy is a service for those who want to assess their lifestyle and diet and take positive steps towards improving their health. The aims of the consultations are to support every individual in reaching their health goals by providing the information, techniques and guidance needed to do this. In order to offer nutritional therapy consultations it is essential that a person is a certificated and registered practitioner in nutrition, nutritional therapy or nutritional medicine. As a qualified nutritional medicine practitioner, I am certificated in all of the above. As a long-standing member of BANT (the British Association of Nutritional Therapists) I am obliged to abide by their code of ethics and practice, and to demonstrate continuing professional development. I also meet the standards of, and have attained my accreditation with the Nutritional Therapy Council; the regulatory body for nutritional therapy whose mission is to establish, uphold and advance the standards of qualifications, competence, and conduct of those who practise nutritional therapy as a profession, in order to protect the public and provide guidance to employers.

Specialising in Nutritional Medicine

Nutritional medicine is a complimentary therapy medicine, that focuses on the medicinal and health enhancing properties that occur when an individual follows a dietary and lifestyle programme that is optimum for them. Treatment plans consist of diet, supplementary nutrient, and detoxification programmes (when needed), to improve a persons vitality and health levels. These programmes are suitable for people of all levels of health, from those interested in nutrition and well-being, to those with more specific health problems.

As well as improving general health and well-being, a practitioner of nutritional medicine is able to offer help with a wide variety of health issues including; digestive problems, hormonal disorders, weight management, low energy levels, depression, anxiety, eczema, high cholesterol, candida and blood sugar imbalances. Whilst anyone can make changes to their diet, the ability to apply nutrition to health, effectively calls for well developed professional skills. These are based upon the knowledge of how to improve a persons vitality. They are also based upon the knowledge of what goes wrong in an individual when ill health occurs, and the methods available to facilitate an improvement in health. The health plans devised in a nutrition consultation are based on medical, family and dietary histories, as well as a current physical assessment. The treatments offered are drug free in nature, and aim to support the bodies natural biological processes.

Why Nutrition Consultancy is Needed?

There are a growing number of supplements and diets being offered on the marketplace. Most of these are undertaken through self-prescription and guess work, often as a result of the latest article in the press. The results can be haphazard, as none of these methods work on the basis of understanding an individuals unique requirements. A consultation in nutritional medicine provides effective treatment for the individual, recognising that every persons nutritional needs differ. The need for practitioners today is emphasized by the increasing number of people who want to improve their health and well-being, acknowledging the significance of nutrition in achieving this.
