One-on-one consultations are at the heart of the services Peterborough based NUTRITION FOR HEALTH provides. We focus on the individual and how to mitigate disease and enhance health by improving nutritional status, and correcting metabolic imbalances. We aim to improve the function of the body that often underlies and gives rise to symptoms and disease. Our nutritional therapy complements the NHS medical services, and we work alongside other health professionals to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

Specific ailments or conditions can be alleviated through nutritional therapy – after all, what you eat and how you 'fuel' the cells in your body is bound to impact how well your organs and body systems function. Whether you want to use Optimum Nutrition therapeutically to help your symptoms, ("Let food be thy medicine" as Hippocrates once said), or you want to lose weight and keep it off without yo-yo dieting, NUTRITION FOR HEALTH concentrates on you as an individual.

Each individual has different nutrient requirements and they are handled by the body in diverse ways according to your state of health. By analysing the nutrients in your diet and how well you are able to utilise them, we put together a special diet plan for you which will help improve your condition and reduce further risk of disease.
