HOW DOES IT WORK?
Initial nutrition consultation
30 mins, online (£50)
All patients book into an initial consultation with Ali first, where she will go through some questioning to understand your current situation and needs. If you are referred by one of our physiotherapists or other clinicians, she will also have access to your history and episode of care. Ali will then provide you with tailored specialist advice and take-aways to apply straight away in this session, so this can be booked as a standalone session too.
Follow up & specialist services
After your initial session, your dietitian may decide to see you for more treatment. This may involve:
Standard follow up session (30 mins)
Specialist-level sports nutritional consultation (60 mins): For athletes or weekend warriors, anyone looking to optimise their nutrition in order to get the most out of training and improve overall performance. This also can include specialist nutritional analysis for our RED-S patients. Whether it’s team sports, running, triathlons, weight lifting or others. Whatever your sport, this assessment will provide you with the tools and knowledge in order to reach your goals or get the most out of your sport. You learn the importance of food timing around your training, what the body requires for different sports and in what quantities. For women, this will give you the knowledge and power to work with your menstrual cycle in order to optimise performance.
Specialist-level weight loss and weight management consultation (60 mins): Whether your goal is weight loss, management or muscle building. This assessment will create you an individualised plan in order to reach your goals. Body composition goals don’t need to be incredibly complex. Understanding how the body utilises fuel and burns energy is the foundation of all weight orientated goals. Here you will go back to the foundations and work with your body in order to reach a healthy weight for that individual. You’ll learn invaluable practises you can use for life through these consultations.
CAN A NUTRITIONIST HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT?
Weight loss management is a key component of what we can do. We know there are many factors which can lead us to put on weight, and all of these are looked at carefully. With your food and drink, we can identify key areas of our meal prep, portions or macronutrient ratios that could be contributing to us getting more than we need. Combining this with lifestyle habits that may be affecting us negatively, a carefully guided approach is created in order for you to lose weight safely. There are no quick fixes or crash diets here. The approaches are designed to be sustainable, enjoyable and not a drastic change to your normal eating habits.
Good nutrition isn't always about weight loss. Here are other key areas where our nutrition consultant can help you:
In order to gain weight:
Some people may be classed as underweight and may find it difficult to increase their body weight. You could also have an intense exercise regime which is causing you to burn a lot more calories than you can eat. We can look at building up your intake in a controlled and sustainable manner and link it to any exercise regime you may currently have.
To help with healing and injury rehabilitation:
As Physiotherapists, we know that coming back from an injury requires a multifaceted approach. One of those is to optimise your nutrion as you need to ensure your body is getting all the right nutrients for a full recovery. As well as your macronutrients, we will look at how the food you eat is providing your body will the important vitamins and minerals it needs for a smooth recovery.
To aid in sports/exercise:
You may be a high level runner, or may have just started the couch to 5k programme. Either way, you'll know your energy levels, fatigue, recovery time and sleep can all be affected by the food you eat. Optimising your nutrition can aid in better performance, faster recovery and decrease your injury risk.
