How can optimum nutrition help me?
Once you’ve made the connection between optimum nutrition and good health, Alison can help to show you the way forward. Her commitment to you involves helping you improve your well-being by determining how your current diet & lifestyle are contributing to your health, or telling you what other approaches may help. In return, your commitment to improving your health requires you being prepared to make changes to your diet, undergo any necessary biochemical tests, and take the recommended supplement programme.

What qualifications does Alison Peacham have?
Alison qualified in Nutritional Therapy at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London and is registered with the British Association of Nutritional Therapists. Qualification takes 3 years and is the gold standard in nutritional therapy, involving the most up-to-date training in preventative and holistic healthcare.

What will I actually get out of a consultation?
During your consultation we will explore your own personal needs and health goals. You will be advised on which foods are likely to be beneficial, those that may be better avoided, lifestyle factors to consider and which food supplements could help you get back on track, because restoring or improving your health takes more nutrients than maintaining it. All these recommendations will be tailor made for you personally, are designed to fit into your lifestyle and are given in digestible stages so you can make changes at your own pace.

How does nutrition fit in with other treatments?
Nutritional therapy complements other conventional and alternative treatments very well. Whether you’re working under the guidance of a medical doctor, counsellor, or alternative practitioner such as a hypnotherapist, acupuncturist, NLP practitioner, etc… good nutritional advice can help you gain most benefit from your other treatments. Many other kinds of practitioners refer their clients to a nutritionist and for good reason – it’s the foundation of good health.
