Helen Ritchie
Clinical Nutritional Therapist
I offer a range of services from one-off sessions to multi-week programmes, depending on what your objectives are in seeking support.
60-Minute Nutrition Review [£95]
Are you confused about what's healthy and what's not when it comes to good nutrition?
Would you like an expert review of what you're eating?
Let me review your current diet and provide some simple advice on how to make healthier choices.
This is for you if you don't have any specific symptoms or health concerns that need addressing, and would like to become the healthiest version of yourself.
Based on a 3-day food diary completed in advance of our session, we will discuss my recommendations, agree what changes you can
Supplement and Medication Check/Review [£150]
Are you confused about dietary supplements and unsure whether they're making a difference?
Or are you taking prescription medication and want to ensure that your supplements are safe to take and not going to cause any interactions with your medication?
Supplements are big business and many of us take them hoping they will magically fix our symptoms.
Whilst there is no substitute for good nutrition and lifestyle practices, this one-off, 60-minute review will take the guesswork out of your supplements and ensure what you're taking is effective and safe.
Test Interpretation [£150]
I am registered with several private functional testing laboratories and offer a range of testing options including blood, stool, saliva and urine as appropriate to your needs.
I can also interpret your NHS blood test results.
Health and Wellbeing Check [£550 excluding cost of taking blood]
Are you concerned about your risk of developing future health conditions?
A health and wellbeing check provides you with a detailed assessment of your current state of health, based on a comprehensive blood test via a private laboratory that includes 100+ markers, including many not routinely tested by the NHS.
We discuss the results of the test in a one-off 60-minute session and together we create a personalised action plan of agreed nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Tests with more, less or specific biomarkers are available.
One-off 90-minute Intensive Session [From £250]
If there is one major symptom or health concern that is bothering you [menopause or other] and you would like to come up with a strategy for dealing with it naturally through nutrition and lifestyle changes, then this one-off 90-minute intensive session is an alternative to working with me in a series of session as part of a 12-week programme.
