Working with private clients to re-evaluate, re-set and rediscover nutritional balance
“What we eat is fuel for energy. But more importantly, the balance of nutrients we consume is vital to the healthy functioning of our bodies and our minds. Our bodies will react to imbalance, causing possible disease, affecting our ability to reproduce, energy balance, our quality of sleep, or our mental health. Unfortunately, the demands of a westernised lifestyle are often at the expense of diet and restorative sleep. There are steps we can take to regain control of this. Warner Nutrition can help you to understand what these are, and the way that your own body works.”

Personal Nutrition Assessment
This is a thorough assessment of a patient's current nutritional status, highlighting areas where there may be deficiencies or over-supply in their diet, to a micro-nutrient level. Deborah will assess energy balance and determine body composition. Each patient will receive a full report with advice on how to manipulate their diet to achieve optimum nutritional balance. A patient will be required to complete and return a questionnaire prior to the appointment.
First appointment 75 minutes including report
Follow-up appointments 45 minutes
Personal Nutrition Programs
These are individualised programs designed for specific needs, for instance; these may be sports-related, health-related, nutrition for mental health, weight balance. This is not a menu plan, although Deborah may provide some meal ideas for guidance, it is more specific and designed to teach patients how to create their own nutrition intake around the parameters given and based on their own taste preferences. Patients will be required to use an app that enables the clinician to monitor and advise over a 3-week period. This also includes an initial Personal Nutrition Assessment.
