About Nutritional Therapy

Food and its nutrients influence the state of our health, through their functions in all our body systems, to help growth, energy, repair and immunity. They can help protect us from disease, infections and chronic conditions that occur due to our actions, or the effect of our environment.

Intensive farming methods, modern agricultural practice, pollution, stress, processed foods and stimulants can all reduce your wellbeing.

Modern testing methods have now made it possible to analyse our genome (our genetic data), which guides our growth, development and health and determines our characteristics and tendency to suffer from certain conditions. The way our genes are expressed can be affected by several factors, including our nutritional status, environment, lifestyle and disease status. This area of wellbeing is called Epigenetics.

For example, maintaining a low sugar diet and keeping a healthy weight, including regular exercise may help reduce your likelihood of getting type 2 diabetes, despite it running in your family

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science for the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Registered Nutritional Therapists 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.

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 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.

What my clients say

I found Philippa to be a mine of useful information and a great source of encouragement in improving my health. She is kind, enthusiastic, perceptive and fully engages with you. I found the advice she gave me invaluable and would highly recommend her.

Fred, Office Manager
I sought a nutritional consultation with Philippa when I was achieving no results in weight loss despite exercising and eating “healthily” (or what I thought it was) Philippa talked me through how the body responds to exercise and educated me into understanding the right foods to eat and the right type of exercise to see the best results. After months of no change I immediately started seeing a change in my shape as well as a drop on the scales which felt fantastic. I now have a great understanding of the food that is right for me for my continued journey to stay healthy in mind and body

Neely, Therapist
Philippa has helped me to move forward significantly with my energy levels and mood. I have Postural Tachycardia Syndrome which means I have to manage my diet carefully to reduce my symptoms. Philippa’s scientific approach is credible and reassuring, and cuts through the fog of claims made by all the supplements – so mine are now much more targeted. She’s reassuring as well as positive, and I always leave feeling really encouraged and supported in trying new things, which include exercises as well as nutrition. I really appreciated that Philippa researched my unusual condition.

Deborah, Management Consultant
Philippa helped when endometriosis had made eating a painful chore. Because her advice covered the condition, my lifestyle and personal food preferences it was realistic. her positivity, encouragement and support was amazing. I’d recommend her to anyone with a diet related problem. My life is totally changed, eating is no longer a problem and while endometriosis sucks it is no longer ruling my life. Thank you !!!!!!

Liz, Marketing Manager
I have been motivated and supported by Philippa Parish to make major diet and lifestyle changes which have resulted in me losing over 7 stone in a way that was healthy, inspired and sustainable. Phillipa has an amazing knowledge, a warmth and kindness and also the skill to keep encouraging you and helping you overcome blocks. Her advice is routed in practical yet compassionate evidence and you will feel truly supported by this exceptional individual and her many skills.
