Nutritional Therapy

Jane Frank BA(hons), PGCE, DipION, MBANT

Are you eating the right foods to maintain or achieve optimum health?  Do you need help and support with losing weight?  Do you suspect you have food intolerances?  Does your digestion perform as well as it should?  Are you trying to get pregnant or going through the menopause?  Do you have diabetes, arthritis, heart disease or other chronic health complaints?  Nutritional therapy can help with all these situations.  Jane Frank studied nutritional therapy at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and qualified ini 2003.  Since then she has published two books, about the menopause and diabetes, and her third book is due out in September 2008.  She also writes courses for a nutritional therapy training institution, and is the nutrition expert for Brand New You magazine. 

In her practice Jane sees clients with all sorts of conditions, such as sports people wishing to raise their game, women wishing to lose a few pounds, mental health clients and people with serious illnesses.  There is no health condition that good nutrition cannot improve.  We are what we eat, but more importantly we are what we absorb, so improving digestion is usually the basis of nutritional therapy.
