About New Hopes Nutrition

I trained for 4 years in nutrition with the Intitute for Optimum Nutrition as a result I gained qualification in nutritional therapy. I work with cients that experience health problems and in particular those that have not got relief from the medical route. I specialise in Autism and related conditions, developmental delays, Sports related nutrition, stress, weight loss and digesive health.

Do you want to get healthy by natural means, learn to eat and cook health giving nutritious foods and discover what foods are potentially contiributing to bad health? Do you want your own personilised health and supplement plan catered for your individual needs? If your answer is yes then Nutritional Therapy is right for you. Please find below BANT description of nutritional therapy:

THE BASIS OF NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Nutritional therapy practitioners use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health. Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ’one size fits all’ approach. Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ’red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.

WHY USE NUTRITIONAL THERAPY?
Some people simply want to check that they are on the right track with regard to healthy eating. Others may want to lose weight or get help with their symptoms.

Nutritional Therapists recognise that each person is an individual with unique requirements and take time to define personalised nutrition plan rather than a ’one size fits all’ approach.

Nutrition and lifestyle approaches to healthcare have been shown to support the health of all the major systems of the body (skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, endocrine, immune, reproductive and integumentary [skin, hair, nails]). Typical priorities in nutritional therapy consultations are support to achieve optimum energy levels, healthy blood sugar balance, emotional and pyschological wellbeing, optimum gastrointestinal health and tolerance to a broad range of food groups.

My training, work experience and any achievement

I set up New Hopes Nutrition in 2009 shortly after qualifying from ION in Fordingbrige at the edge of the New Forest.
