What Is a Registered Nutritional Therapist?
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.
Personalised nutrition is tailored specifically for you, taking into account your health journey, your health goals and dietary preferences. The practitioner may use functional tests to inform the recommendations that are based on your unique biological individuality.
Personalised nutrition consultations are relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis; anyone with persistent digestive issues or those wishing to support an autoimmune condition, as well as those looking to enhance their health and wellbeing. Recommendations are not a replacement for medical advice; practitioners frequently work alongside medical professionals to support individuals’ wellbeing.
BANT practitioners do not diagnose or treat disease, and recommendations are not a replacement for medical advice; practitioners frequently work alongside medical professionals to support individual’s wellbeing.
I am a full member of The British Association of Applied Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT), which is the UK's professional body for Registered Nutritional Therapy. Only degree qualified BANT members can use the title "Registered Nutritional Therapist".
BANT represents the seal of excellence for nutritional health professionals by demanding the highest standards of education, training and qualifications within the Nutritional Medicine field. You can therefore rest assured that when you seek the advice of a BANT Registered Nutritional Therapist, you are receiving guidance from an expert professional.
I am also a full member of The Complementary and Natural Health Council (CNHC). The CNHC was set up with government support to protect the public by providing a UK voluntary register of complementary therapists. CNHC's register has been approved as an Accredited Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.
