Why see a nutritional therapist?

What is the difference between a nutritional therapist and dietician?

Dieticians tend to work in an NHS setting, such as a hospital, providing support for a specific health issue such as type 2 diabetes or cancer.

A nutritional therapist works privately with an individual to assess their diet and lifestyle in detail, identifying how these may be contributing to their health concerns and developing a fully personalised plan to help address these.

Both are highly trained and use scientific evidence to inform their recommendations.

Who nutritional therapists help

Anyone who wants to feel better!

Most often it is people who have had many medical investigations undertaken but no real cause has been found.

As a Nutritional Therapist, I take time to thoroughly review each client's diet, lifestyle and medical history.  This allows me to identify what might be triggering symptoms and work out how diet and lifestyle changes might help manage them.

Working in this way means I can help clients make small, realistic and sustainable food and lifestyle changes that help them feel their best. I might also suggest functional tests or recommend supplements to support them on their journey.

I have helped clients manage a variety of health conditions, including pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight management, menopause, menstrual issues, anxiety, allergies and intolerances, IBS, reflux amongst many others.
