They are Nutritional Therapists registered with BANT (British Associate for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and the CNHC (Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council).

The aim of the Nutritionists sessions are to make patients feel more confident in knowing which foods are good for them, and he will help them to see the benefits of a healthy and balanced diet. By encouraging healthy eating amongst children and adults we can tackle obesity and the many health conditions that it could land people with.
