Nutritional Therapy Programme

We are pleased to introduce our Healthy Eating Advisor (HEA) for Central Camden Primary Care Network (PCN),Kaz Mandikate.

Kaz is a Nutritional Therapist registered with BANT (British Associate for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and the CNHC (Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council). He also holds a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science.

The aim of Kaz’s sessions is 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.

Some of the benefits of having a healthy diet and an and active lifestyle include:

• Preventing type 2 diabetes
