Carol's interest in nutrition originated from when she was diagnosed with MS and diet was suggested as a management technique. Further interest came from seeing how nutrition can have a profound effect on health issues such as cardiovascular health, obesity, type II diabetes as well as many others.
Carol studied for three years to gain her diploma in Nutritional Therapy at the world renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition in Richmond. A Nutritional Therapy Council registered Practitioner, she is also registered with the British Association for Applied Nutrition & Nutritional Therapy (BANT), a professional body for Nutritional Therapy in the UK whose members are bound by its strict codes of practice & ethics.
Nutritional Therapy uses a scientific approach to understanding why an individual's health has gone awry and, using nutrition, attempts to address the underlying cause or factors, not just the symptoms of the disease. The Nutritional Therapist will take a detailed history from the client and may also use diagnostic tests to identify imbalances before suggesting a comprehensive programme to address these issues and help the client to better health
