Nutritional Therapy is the use of food and nutrition to maintain health and well-being through the understanding of the principles and practice of nutritional therapy. The course teaches how to work with individuals through therapy using diet and nutrition. An assessment is carried out, and then together with the client, a holistic diet plan is developed so that specific changes are made to enhance the benefits from what is eaten, such as curbing ill health, maintaining good condition of e.g. hair and skin. Nutritional therapy is a complementary therapy often used with conventional therapy so that a more holistic approach is used, so they cannot diagnose serious illness but are able to address ill health with conventional medicine, e.g. fatigue to Arthritis. Advice is given to clients so that full enjoyment of life can be had with regard to nutrition and the quality of one’s diet, such as eating in restaurants, through the use of better choices of what is ingested.
Course Key Topics
the Nutritional Therapy (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: The Inflammation Syndrome
Most people consider inflammation to cause tenderness and muscle ache e.g. back ache and stiff joints, but inflammation causes and is related to a whole host of ill health such as allergy, heart problems, bronchitis, Arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease. This first module concentrates on exploring what is meant by “The Inflammation Syndrome”, in relation to diet and nutrition, health and well-being. The causes of inflammation within our bodies and what triggers it are investigated. The value of anti-inflammatory drugs in combating inflammation, or whether we need to look more closely at what we eat and drink and the supplements we take, in order to prevent disease and illness in the long-term is discussed. How food, diet and nutrition can be used to combat the various ailments arising from the inflammation syndrome is considered.
Module 2: Profiles of Different Foods and Drinks
The key to healthy living in the long term is the management and balance of the amount, type and quality of food and drink we consume. Excuses are made such as metabolic rate to blame unhealthy eating, but teaching people to be honest about recording what they eat is also important. The foods we eat are divided into 6 groups, namely, vegetables, fruit, grains and cereals, dairy products, meat and fish, and with the addition of certain “superfoods” for example yoghurt, broccoli and turkey. Certain foods are also thought to have healing properties and the key nutrients they contain are investigated. What we eat has to be balanced with what we drink. Finally, facts about alcohol and how bodies metabolise it, as well as the effects of alcohol on health is explored. How to collect information, such as recipes, especially for special diets, is advised so that a therapist has a range of useful sources to hand.
Module 3: Health and Nutrition During Different Life Stages
Healthy living, diet and exercise are important throughout all the stages of our life, and nutritional needs throughout the differing stages of life can be identified. So as people get older, for example, their lives become more sedentary and less food is needed. On the other hand, babies have special nutritional needs and a special diet. Similarly, as children are growing up, they have different nutritional requirements e.g. children need full-fat dairy products, rather than low-fat versions, and teenagers need high energy foods for growth and development. This pattern of growth slows down in adulthood, but, as people grow older, problems can arise, if the diet is not healthy and lacks activity. What constitutes a balanced diet for different people, how is food used by our body and how can diet plans be healthy and fun is discussed.
Module 4: Food Safety
In the UK, it is possible to obtain any food at any time of the year, made into several recipes and available in different forms, e.g. we can get papaya and pineapple dried, fresh, in tins or as part of dessert. The way food is available fresh or processed, and how it is prepared has to be healthy and safe for consumption. This module discusses different food preparation processes and raises questions about food safety, including the careful handling, cooking and storage of foods. The substances and chemicals added to foods to help preserve, flavour and make it palatable or appear or taste a certain way is explored. What is meant by genetically modified foods is explored. The ways of avoiding food poisoning, how to stay safe when storing, cooking food and the key things needed to be known about food when travelling is discussed.
Module 5: The Organic Question
At one time all food was organic, but this changed when pesticides were added to prevent attack by insects or fertilizers were added to increase yield of the crops. People choose to buy and consume organic products, because they want a safer and healthier alternative to foods that may contain toxic pesticides and chemicals. Organic food is now easier to find, not only in health food stores and supermarkets, but also in restaurants and some schools and colleges. This module looks at what organic food is and how it is produced, as well as why it is healthier than conventional choices. It also considers the disadvantages of conventional foods, such as the cost, not only to our health and well – being, but also to the environment. Detoxification and its health benefits are considered in detail. As food is so cheap and readily available, the ease of gaining weight and the need to exercise is discussed briefly.
Module 6: Treating Ailments and Illnesses Through Nutrition – Part 1
The following three modules provide advice on how to treat ailments and illnesses, with particular reference to a key body organ through good nutrition and the use of particular foods and liquids, alongside conventional medicine. The first discussion focuses on skin disorders, digestive illnesses, respiratory illnesses, urinary diseases and ailments of the ears, nose, throat, mouth and eyes. An in-depth study of the body part or organ helps form an understanding of the possible causes of disorders and illnesses that affect it. How good quality foods and diet affect and prevent or deter common ailments and limit e.g. stress is investigated. Food, through over-eating or consumption of bad or unsafe food can be problematic, e.g. chocolate can cause acne and spots.
Module 7: Treating Ailments and Illnesses Through Nutrition – Part 2
This module concentrates on the organs and body parts affected by heart and circulatory disorders e.g. high blood pressure and cholesterol, disorders of the immune and nervous systems, brain disorders and cancer. The common illnesses and diseases discussed also include strokes, Diabetes, anxiety and stress, and minor issues such as varicose veins.
Module 8: Treating Ailments Specific to Women
Women are affected from disorders or issues specific to their gender including, premenstrual tension and the menopause. Diet and nutrition can help alleviate many of the symptoms of these disorders, as well as more serious illnesses, for example, breast and ovarian cancer. Pregnancy is also considered, in relation to healthy living and good nutrition. There is evidence to suggest that many foods may slow down the ageing process and these are identified. Regular consumption of foods to improve the strength of our skin and slow down the age-related damage, which affects our eyes, e.g. nuts like almonds and foods containing antioxidants is explored. The misuse of food or eating disorders, e.g. Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia, as well as the importance of vitamins and mineral salts and the need for a balanced diet containing superfoods is discussed.
Module 9: Treating Ailments Specific to Men
In this module, we concentrate on the issues, which mainly concern men, that is, hair and muscle loss, impotence and prostate and testicular cancer. Appearance, weight, anxiety and stress also feature. Weight is linked to lifestyle. Stress can make a person fat. With a man’s metabolic rate being at its highest when he is 27 years old, with it dropping by 12% each year until he reaches the age of 47, it follows that if he continues to consume the same amount of calories, he will put on weight. We look at how a man can increase and maintain muscle mass and, consequently, help to lessen this fall in his metabolic rate. The role of food and exercise in men’s wellbeing is essential, a diet rich in protein, vegetables, superfoods, and limit alcohol and cigarettes, for example, is clearly important.
Module 10: Setting up in Business as a Nutritional Therapist
The internet has opened the door for great support and free resources e.g. templates of essential paperwork such as a business plans or invoices, and support groups for people wanting to or running their own business. In this final module, we deal with all the issues and bureaucracy involved concerned with setting up in business as a nutritional therapist, e.g. marketing to clients, finances, legal issues, building and maintaining a successful nutritional therapy business. The advantages and disadvantages of being self-employed or working for others is compared.

Career Profile - Nutritional Therapist
Career Profile
Nutritional therapists provide personalised nutrition, dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help enhance an individual’s health and wellbeing
As a nutritional therapist, you’ll work with the understanding that there are nutritional and biochemical imbalances in the body that lead to ill health. Taking a holistic approach to your clients’ nutritional therapy, you’ll devise a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to help maintain their wellbeing.
This will include recommendations to restore nutritional balance, which may include guidance on avoiding certain toxins and allergens, detoxification and the use of supplementary nutrients such as high-dose vitamins.
Nutritional therapy is classed as a complementary medicine and is intended for people who want to improve their general health and lifestyle through diet and nutrition, as well as those with chronic health conditions who may wish to see a nutritional therapist alongside other healthcare professionals.
Responsibilities
As a Nutritional Therapist, you’ll need to:
* carry out initial consultations on a one-to-one basis with patients to assess their health and get a detailed case history from them
* recommend and analyse laboratory tests to check for nutritional imbalances, the functioning of the liver and the digestive system
* explain the physiological impact of complex biochemical imbalances and nutritional deficiencies to clients and answer any questions they may have
* agree on a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, which will include dietary recommendations, and may also include a nutritional-supplement plan and changes to lifestyle
* conduct follow-up review meetings to monitor and evaluate patient progress
* help clients to understand the link between their diet and their health
* refer clients to other health practitioners, as appropriate
* keep confidential and comprehensive notes and records for each client
* provide advice and promote nutritional therapy to community groups and charities
* carry out administrative tasks related to running a business if you’re self-employed.
Salary
* Most nutritional therapists are self-employed so your income will depend on factors such as the price you charge per hour, the number of hours you work, the number of patients you attract and your running costs and overheads.
* You’re likely to charge between £120 and £200 for first consultations and then £40 to £180 per follow-up consultation. You may offer a range of consultation packages or programmes with varying prices.
* Fees charged will vary depending on a range of factors, including the length of the consultation (with initial consultations typically lasting longer) and your location. If you’re based in London, for example, your earnings will be higher than nutritional therapists elsewhere.
Your income on starting out may be very low due to the initial costs of setting up a business and the limited number of patients readily available. Not all therapists manage to make a living solely from client consultations. It may take several years to build up a client base and you may experience peaks and troughs in demand.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Being self-employed means you can set your own working hours to a certain extent, although you may have to be flexible to suit your clients’ needs. For example, you may choose to work some evenings or weekends.
Initial consultations will usually take 60 to 90 minutes, to properly assess the client’s current health problems, medical and family history, diet and lifestyle. Follow-up consultations typically last between 30 and 60 minutes. Appointments are typically four to six weeks apart, depending on the case.
What to expect
* You may need an additional job in the early stages of setting up a practice until your client base becomes large enough to sustain a regular income. The time taken to build up a practice varies as you’ll need to assess the local market and raise awareness of your services.
* You’ll work primarily with clients in a private practice. You could either work within a team of health practitioners in a practice or work on your own, renting a room.
* Opportunities are available in most areas of the UK. It’s possible to set up a practice virtually anywhere.
* You’re not likely to spend much time travelling or staying away overnight, although you may travel locally, for example if you’re working from several locations. You may set up a practice to complement another service such as a health food outlet, or alongside other holistic therapists in a healing centre.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* the ability to communicate with a range of clients and build rapport
* listening skills and the ability to empathise without becoming emotionally involved
* a confident and professional approach to work
* time management skills
* problem-solving and analytical skills
* a logical approach to work
* report-writing skills
* self-motivation and the ability to work on your own and develop new skills
* business skills such as administration, marketing and finance.
Many therapists enter nutritional therapy as a second or third career. Life experience and interpersonal skills can be helpful as the ability to empathise and gain a client’s confidence is crucial to a therapist’s success.
Career prospects
Opportunities for progression vary depending on your own interests, expertise and willingness to undertake different activities.
In the first five years after qualification, you’re likely to concentrate on building up a solid client base and will develop your experience of dealing with different people. Geographical mobility can be important for career development, especially in more rural areas.
As you gain expertise you may specialise in an area of nutritional therapy, such as:
* arthritis
* asthma
* chronic fatigue
* dementia
* eating disorders
* gynaecological disorders
* hyperactivity
* pre-conception care
* thyroid rebalancing.
You may also network with GP practices and midwifery services to take referrals for complementary therapy.
With experience, you may want to consider lecturing in training colleges and universities and possibly on the international conference circuit.
In areas where local authorities actively support innovative approaches to public health, opportunities may exist in partnership with sports development workers or health promotion officers.
There may be the chance to work on a consultancy basis for healthcare charities or commercial organisations. Media-related activities may be available, such as specialist journalism (food writing or radio/television appearances), public relations or marketing.
A few successful therapists will become directors of thriving enterprises, employing other qualified therapists and administration staff.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
