Power Clinic

In the ever-evolving landscape of health and wellness, the importance of seeking legit professional guidance for optimal nutrition cannot be overstated. Registered Nutritional Therapists play a pivotal role in promoting well-being by providing personalized and evidence-based nutritional advice. I wanted to explore the significance of consulting a Registered Nutritional Therapist, shedding light on their qualifications (a degree) and the importance of being registered with professional bodies like BANT (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council).

What is the difference between Nutritional Therapists, Nutrition Coaches and Nutritionists?

1. Nutritional Therapists:
   • Focus: Holistic, addressing underlying health issues.
   • Qualifications: Hold a degree in nutritional therapy or a related field.
   • Registration: Registered with professional bodies like BANT and CNHC.
   • Approach: Personalized, evidence-based recommendations.
   • Scope: Work one to one with individuals dealing with specific health concerns.
2. Nutrition Coaches:
   • Focus: Goal-oriented, often centered on fitness and weight management.
   • Qualifications: Vary; it is not a regulated profession and only some may have certifications in coaching or attended courses in
   • Registration: Not typically required, but some may hold certifications from coaching organizations.
   • Approach: Goal-focused, motivational, and lifestyle-oriented.
   • Scope: Assist clients in achieving specific health and fitness goals.
3. Nutritionists:
   • Focus: General nutrition advice, public health, and community settings.
   • Qualifications: Hold a degree in nutrition or a related field.
   • Registration: Registered with professional bodies such as the AfN, but not always required.
   • Approach: Broad nutrition education and advice, which is not personalised to a 1:1 approach.
   • Scope: Work in diverse settings such as public health, research, or education.

In the pursuit of optimal health and receiving personalised and tailored 1:1 advice, consulting a Registered Nutritional Therapist stands out as a wise choice. Their holistic approach, personalised guidance, and commitment to professional standards set them apart. Ensuring that a nutritional therapist is registered with BANT and CNHC adds an extra layer of assurance, highlighting their dedication to excellence, knowledge and high standard of practice.

Food Power Nutrition plan are highly personalised, created around around your needs and your goal in order to obtain the best results possible. Saying that it is important to note that results vary from person to person as we are all unique and our body responds differently. Expectations and goals will be discussed during our discovery call.

For complex conditions such as IBS, but also any other diagnosed condition I advice a 1:1 service (initial+follow up, 4 week plan, 9 week plan) or the Gut Health testing package.

One hour appointment won’t be sufficient to understand the root cause of the problem and provide a plan which can help, and follow ups are essential to monitor the progress and work on further action points in order to restore health.

The main source of nutrients is wholefoods, and the plans are aimed to provide adequate nutrient levels for each client. Supplementation may be recommended only for a short period of time in case of significant nutrient deficiencies or to kick start your body systems. Food Power Nutrition does not have any affiliation with any supplement company and specific supplements are suggested because of their unique therapeutic properties.

Food Power provides online consultations via a dedicated platform. Online consultations will be held via telehealth/zoom and can be easily accessed via the client’s “Practice Better” portal. In person consultations will be held on Thursday evenings at Elpis Therapy Rooms, 14 Hanover Square, Mayfair, London W1S 1HN

Understanding we all lead busy lives, I can reschedule or cancel appointments without any charge if communicated with more than 48 hours notice. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled within 48 hours of the consultation time will be charged at 50%. Appointments cancelled or reschedule within 24 hours of your appointment time will be charged at 100%. A delay of more than 15 minutes for your consultation will lead to the appointment being cancelled and charged at 100%.

Please contact me at least 72 hours before our appointment date asking for it to be rescheduled if you realised you won’t have time to fill in the questionnaire and read the T&C.

The information provided in the questionnaire are key to start building your plan and provide you with the best service possible, and I won’t go ahead with the initial appointment without those as I aiming to deliver a high standard service and consultation to all my clients.

As a Nutritional Therapist, I am registered with CNHC and BANT. CNHC nutritional therapy registration is recognised by some private health cash plans, such as Westfield Health and Health Shield.

Please check with your provider for your cover details.
