Meet Christina Smith
I have a BSc (Hons) degree in Nutritional Therapy and am registered with the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). After finishing my diploma with the College of Naturopathic Medicine, I gained my degree with the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, both of which are highly accredited and leading training providers within the industry.
I have experience and extensive knowledge in working with a multitude of chronic health conditions and autoimmunity. Through my education, and personal experience of living with type 1 diabetes I have a wealth of knowledge about optimising blood sugar control and diabetes management.
I am passionate about working with individuals who have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. I provide guidance with implementing realistic interventions to aid blood sugar control, and it is my priority to ensure every client feels positively towards their heath journey. I also work closely with weight management, and other metabolic risk factors such as high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Digestive health is prioritised with every client, as it is directly linked to all systems of the body, and plays an imperative role in overall health and wellbeing.
My practice prioritises mental health support, and education regarding nutrition and the body to boost understanding and confidence. Furthermore, the structure of my practice focuses on working together to pin-point triggers and nutrient imbalances which could be mediating symptoms and chronic health conditions. A thorough client history and extensive questionnaire is included with every consultation, allowing me to identify imbalances in the body and the root cause.
My nutrition and lifestyle plans are personalised to support each individual to maintain their specific health and wellness targets. I also provide personalised supplement plans, GP referrals and functional testing advice when appropriate.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding my practice, and I will gladly be there to support you with your journey.
