Dietitian and Nutrition Service

What is Dietetics and Nutritional Support?

According to the British Dietetic Association (BDA) ‘dietetics is the science of how nutrition affects our health. Scientific studies have shown how a change to ourdiet can help prevent or control a variety of health problems. Dietitians are the only qualified and regulated health professionals within the UK that assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems’.

Our dietitian, Jenny, has been working as an experienced HCPC registered dietitian within the NHS for over 15 years. She has extensive experience of working with a range of concerns and issues including: eating disorders/disordered eating; developing healthy and balanced eating plans; emotional eating; vegetarian and vegan diets; polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); pregnancy and mental health; bone health and nutrition; healthy eating; lactose intolerance; and milk free diets.

Jenny also works within our dietetic and nutrition service here at GADS and at our other service, Talking EDs.  Jenny can also provide general dietetic advice and support and can provide online appointments to anyone in the UK.
