Nutritional Therapy

Digestive problems, food intolerances, sleep issues - they’re all signs your body is trying to tell you something is out of balance. Ignoring those symptoms for too long, may lead to chronic, long term disease.
Nutritional therapy can help address these symptoms by finding the root cause of the problem.

Implementing specific nutrition and lifestyle changes can have the most
profound and positive life changing effects on your health.

As a registered, qualified and experienced nutritional therapist, you can be assured that you're in capable hands.

How your programme works

Nutritional therapy programmes are 12 weeks long. This gives you and your body enough time to really start feeling the beneficial effects from the changes you're making.

What to expect:
  1. We'll have an initial meeting of around 60-90 minutes where we'll discuss your health concerns and review your health questionnaire and food diary.
  2. You be given small and easily manageable changes to make on a weekly, step-by-step basis so you don't need to worry about being overwhelmed by a long list of instructions! This will also make it easier for you to incorporate new habits into your daily life and ultimately reach your health goals.
  3. You'll be filling out a food diary - not every week, but periodically so we can follow up what's working and what's not.
  4. We'll have a weekly catch up via phone call or Zoom, whichever you prefer. 
  5. Under certain circumstances, tests may be advised, for example - vitamin D or iron levels, blood sugar, cholesterol or thyroid. These are just examples and there are many more that may be useful for further investigating any underlying symptoms.
  6. A final hour long meeting to review everything you've achieved over the 12 weeks and discuss any next steps.​

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and on this basis, recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional.

​They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in your care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.

Please note Nutritional Therapy is not a replacement for medical advice, medication or investigations recommended by a health care professional. If you have any concerns relating to your health, it is always recommended you speak with your health care advisor first before undertaking a nutritional therapy consultation. While Nutritional Therapy is a recognised complementary therapy, it cannot by law claim to treat or cure any named condition.

How is Nutritional Therapy Regulated?

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science for the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. 

​It is a progressive approach to health optimisation. 

Registered Nutritional Therapists are recognised by the Professional Standards Authority to be as competent as other traditional healthcare providers.  It has been recognised that they can make a difference by working together with healthcare providers as part of multidisciplinary teams under NHS commissioning.
​
Registered Nutritional Therapists use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health.
​
Nutritional Therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.
 
A fully qualified nutritional therapist should be registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) as well as having full membership of a CNHC approved  organisation such as the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT). Only those practitioners who have studied approved courses (either a degree or 3-4 year diploma), are able to gain BANT membership.

​BANT is the professional body for Registered Nutritional Therapists whose primary function is to assist its members in attaining the highest standards of integrity, knowledge, competence and professional practice. This serves to protect the client’s interests, nutritional therapy as a practice, and the nutritional therapist.

The CNHC is the UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners. Sponsored by the Department of Health, the CNHC's key role is to enhance public protection by setting standards for registration and ensuring that all registered practitioners meet the relevant National Occupational Standards.

In November 2009 the Department of Health stated:

“CNHC is the only voluntary regulatory body for complementary healthcare which has official government backing. No other organisation has the same exacting criteria or focus on safety and quality.”

Nutritional Therapists must meet the CNHC’s standards and maintain their professional skills through an ongoing programme of Continuing Professional Development in order to display the CNHC quality mark.

Caroline is a member of both the CNHC and BANT.
