Nutritional Therapy is the professional practice of using diet to treat and prevent illness, enabling individuals to achieve optimal health.   It adopts an holistic approach, respecting the body's inherent ability to heal itself given the right conditions.  One of the principles of Nutritional Therapy is that every individual is different and therefore has unique nutritional needs.  A consultation with a Nutritional Therapist can have a huge impact on a person's life by helping them make sensible dietary and lifestyle choices.

A Nutritional Therapist professionally applies the principles of Nutritional Therapy - only practitioners who meet the National Occupational Standards for Nutritional Therapy should refer to themselves as Nutritional Therapists.
