Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health. Nutritional therapy can benefit you if you wish to find a healthier way of living and can help you reach your potential at each stage of life from pregnancy to aging and can support symptoms of chronic disease.
It's crucial that you take care of yourself and good nutrition has a key part to play in maintaining and ensuring your health for the future. In fact, food is at the heart of the lifestyle medicine movement being advocated by the NHS and practiced by a new generation of British GP's, including the best selling author Dr Rangan Chatterjee.
To ensure you achieve the optimal diet for your stage of life it is advisable to meet with a nutritional therapist every few years. Think of your consultation as an MOT, a necessity, not a luxury.
Looking after your gut is one of the key aspects to looking after your general health and wellbeing. From your mood to your joints, poor gut health can have a huge impact on your life.
Gastrointestinal issues are notoriously difficult to tackle and can interfere with your everyday routine.
Nutritional therapists are trained to support clients with a range of digestive difficulties, and can work with you to improve your digestion, to support a range of symptoms including:
We can also advise on gut health and microbiome tests to help you get to the root of your digestive difficulties and can analyse test results and incorporate them into a workable nutritional therapy plan for you.
Our nutritional therapist has the education and experience to deal with gastrointestinal issues and knows first-hand how frustrating it can be to try to find a solution to digestive symptoms. We understand and are here to support you in your journey to better health.
We provide nutritional therapy consultation packages which are tailored to the individual and involve an indepth look into your history and current nutrition to be able to give you the most specific attention to your requirements.
We also offer a Nutrition advice service which is a 30 minute session, where you can request and discuss information regarding your general nutritional needs - This is a food based discussion, suitable for someone who has minimal medication and health issues.

We were set up by the government to protect the public. We do this by providing an independent UK register of complementary healthcare practitioners. Protection of the public is our sole purpose.
The CNHC set the standards that practitioners need to meet to get onto and then stay on the register. All CNHC registrants have agreed to be bound by the highest standards of conduct and have registered voluntarily. All of them are professionally trained and fully insured to practise.
BANT is a professional organisation for practitioners of nutrition and lifestyle medicine. BANT practitioner members are required to be registered either with Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or be statutorily regulated.
It focuses on individuals who are trained to pursue a professional career in nutrition, described in most countries as dietitians or nutritionists (including nutrition scientists, nutritional epidemiologists and public health nutritionists).
