What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapy can help you achieve optimum wellness and support your recovery from ill-health. A few simple changes to your diet could help alleviate a wide range of conditions, such as digestive problems, allergies, skin conditions, female health concerns, fertility problems, fatigue and low energy, as well as maximising your health potential.

Nutritional Therapists apply what is known as the Functional Medicine approach, which takes into account the biochemical individuality of each person. This approach recognises that everybody is unique from a genetic, lifestyle and environmental perspective and that all these factors need to be taken into account in order to develop an effective, safe and personalised treatment plan.

In the UK, Nutritional Therapy is regulated by a voluntary Register managed by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). The CNHC is a government-sponsored body dedicated to safeguarding the public by ensuring that all registered practitioners meet the National Occupational Standards for healthcare disciplines. A Nutritional Therapist can only display the CNHC quality mark if they have the appropriate level of training and competence.

In order to retain the CNHC quality mark, Nutritional Therapists are required to update and develop their professional skills through an ongoing programme of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
