About nutritionist services
For clinical conditions, a dietitian registered with the HCPC is the regulated profession and the right choice. A good nutritionist works on diet quality and habits, and refers on rather than diagnosing; anyone selling supplements or food intolerance testing as a first step is worth questioning.
