Taking responsibility

Taking Responsibility

I am a Nutritional Therapist, but I am not your Nutritional Therapist.

We are all different, so while the broadest principles of healthy eating might be common between us (we all have a need for essential nutrients, for example), the details of this are as varied as we are.

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet. A healthy diet can take many different forms, according to the individual needs of your body. Only YOU know what the right way is for YOU to eat.

Take responsibility for yourself as you move through this course. Discussing food can evoke some strong emotions. Step back or stop at any time if you need to. Don't hesitate to seek professional support. It is never a sign of weakness to ask for help, but rather, a sign of immense insight and strength.

It may be worth speaking with your GP or family doctor first, as in some circumstances there may be local nutrition support services that are available via referral.
