Web Terms & Conditions and the Nutritional Therapy Descriptor

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Nutritional therapy practitioners use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutrition balance and help support the body towards maintaining health.

Nutritional therapy is recognized as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing. Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalized nutrition and life style programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flags’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.

The Nutritional Therapist (NT) requests that the Client notes the following –

The degree of benefit obtainable from Nutritional Therapy may vary between clients with similar health problems and following similar health problems and following a similar Nutritional therapy programme.
Nutritional advice will be tailored to support health conditions and/or health concerns identified and agreed between both parties.

Nutritional therapists are not permitted to diagnose or claim to treat medical conditions.
Nutritional advice is not a substitute for professional medical advice and/or treatment
Standards of professional practice in Nutritional Therapy are governed by the BANT Code of Professional Practice.
This document only covers the practice of Nutritional Therapy within this consultation and your practitioner will make it clear if she intends to step outside this boundary.The Client understands and agrees to the following:
You are responsible for contacting your GP about any health concerns
The Nutritional Therapist may ask for permission to contact your GP regarding any agreed aspects of your case. You may give or not give permission to do that.
If you are receiving treatment from your GP or any other medical provider, you should tell him/her about any nutritional strategy provided by a nutritional therapist. This is necessary because of any possible reactions between medication and the nutritional programme.
It is important that you tell your nutritional therapist about any medical diagnosis, medication, herbal medicine or food supplements you are taking as this may affect the nutritional programme.
If you are unclear about the agreed nutritional therapy programme/food supplement doses/time period, you should contact your nutritional therapist promptly for clarification.
You must contact your nutritional therapist should you wish to continue any specified supplement programme for longer than the original agreed period, to avoid any potential adverse reactions.
You are advised to report any concerns about Nutritional Therapy promptly to your nutritional therapist for discussion and action.
Your nutritional therapist has the right to discharge you from her care if you repetedly do not follow her nutritional advice, as that may make the therapy ineffective.
Recording consultations using any form of electronic media is not allowed without the written consent of both the Nutritional Therapist and the Client.
Once you make an appointment, for which you must pay the fee in advance, you have the right to cancel your appointment within 48 hours prior to its start. If you fail to do this or do not turn up to an appointment the full fee will be charged (£90 for the initial consultation or any follow-up consultation)
You have the right to have your notes released to you upon written request (by e-mail: info@rossellahealth.com). Once we receive the request it may take up to 30 days to release the notes to you. There is a fee chargeable of £40 for releasing notes to clients.

We understand the above and agree that our professional relationship will be based on the content of these terms and conditions.

Irresistible n. 1 Chicory Latte

Why not recharging your midmorning with an anti-inflammatory drink full of tasty ingredients,

which will help you stay on top of your energy without you getting bloated?

Enjoy this recipe for an anti-inflammatory latte! No caffeine, no dairy,

great taste, detoxing and environment friendly. Easy to make and shake.

Often we do not know that some of the most staple ingredients are not our friends. We have eaten or drunk them for so many years with no adverse effects, and then suddenly one morning a simple Latte bloats us and we have no clue what it was: was it the caffeine? was it the milk? was it the sugar? Or the caramel syrup we like so much?

Our immune defence system simply can no longer tolerate some ingredients because we have saturated our system with them.

This chicory latte contains anti-inflammatory ingredients and it just tastes delicious. Try for yourself and see the results.

You can buy the agave syrup (preferably wholemeal – i.e. dark) and the vegetable milk in any supermarket (oats, almond, rice, coconut, according to the foods your digestive system can tolerate). Buy the chicory coffee in any good Healthy Food shop.

Buy a good hot drink shaker (Knoops sell a really good one with an expanding lid). And you’re ready to go!

Chicory Latte

Ingredients (serves 2):

400 ml oats, almond or wholemeal rice milk

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pinch of ground clove

1 teaspoon chicory soluble coffee

maple syrup or agave syrup to sweeten (optional)

Method:

– Warm up the milk in a small pan and take it off the fire before boiling point.

– Wisk the milk in a jug until frothy.

– add the spices and the coffee and whisk more.

– sweeten the latte with a small amount of maple or agave syrup (coconut milk and rice milk are already naturally sweet).

You can sprinkle the top of the milk with ground cinnamon or cloves, or bitter cocoa, to taste.

Enjoy!

29 September — World Heart Day

A LOWER CARBOHYDRATE DIET is recommended to balance blood sugar and therefore reduce insulin and blood glucose levels. Elevated insulin is a major risk factor for heart disease and promotes inflammation. You’re also likely will lose weight on a blood sugar balancing diet, and that in itself will reduce the risk for many chronic diseases, including heart disease and high blood pressure.

To help your hear health make sure you enrich your diet with plenty of: fibre, healthy fats, fruit and vegetables. Avoid at all costs processed foods and vegetable oils (except of course for Extra virgin olive oil, rapseed oil, linseed oil and coconut oil).

Want to bulletproof your immunity? How to endure Lock Down and Still Thrive!

Increase your antioxidants

You need to stockpile those natural antioxidants (and not just the packets and tins of pulses!). When you supercharge this “antioxidant potential” you give your immune system a real boost. And, if you’re wondering ‘where have I heard about antioxidants before?’ they’re the things skincare companies tell you their anti-ageing moisturisers are full of so double win.

Why are antioxidants important?

Viruses and bacteria produce oxidants, which are reactive forms of oxygen that damage cells and age you faster. Simply, they are bad news. We’re also getting our fill of oxidants from eating chargrilled/ blackened foods or breathing polluted air, and maybe you’ve had a less than great diet over the years. Where you can end up is a situation in which you have too many oxidants and not enough antioxidants.

Revving up your antioxidant status at times like these is a really good idea. While vitamin C seems to get all the praise when it comes to immunity, there’s another molecule that is the under-recognised supporting actor who deserves the starring role – glutathione.

…more about glutathione tomorrow!
