I Love Greens believe that good food leads to good health. We approach diet and lifestyle changes with a balanced approach focusing on retaining and improving your enjoyment of food whilst educating you about what your body needs each day. Food isn’t just for fuel – it also plays a huge part in our social, emotional and mental well-being. The balanced approach means that you can continue to live your life to the full without feeling hindered by your nutritional choices. And we won’t ask you to give up chocolate!
So what is Nutritional Therapy – well it’s all about exploring how the foods you do and don’t eat might be affecting your health, both in the short and long term. But rather than impose one size fits all dietary restrictions we look at each person and their symptoms as an individual and tailor advice accordingly. The advice that is given is practical, achievable and jointly agreed – meaning you’ll never have to do anything you’re not happy with. Everything is taken one small step at a time to ensure life-long changes in attitude and habit.
Although Nutritional Therapy is holistic in the way it deals with clients, it is also underpinned by science in that all recommendations and protocols are based on the most current scientific research in the field of nutrition and health. It is also based upon the principle of functional medicine which means we consider the underlying causes of any concern rather than focusing purely on the symptoms.

If you want to know just how important diet is to health then take a look at some recent research in British Journal of Cancer where it was found that changes to diet and lifestyle could prevent around 40% of cancer cases in the UK – that’s a big number.
Isn’t it time you took control of your own health?
Nutritional Therapy is not a replacement for medical advice and we will always recommend that you consult with your G.P. regarding any medical condition.
