Medical Nutrition

A Medical Approach to Nutrition

Nutrition is most effective when it is considered in the context of your overall health.

Providing nutrition services within a private GP clinic allows for:

• Medical oversight where appropriate

• Easy Access to blood tests and diagnostic investigations

• Integration where needed with GP care

• Safer prescribing decisions

• Clear escalation if concerns are identified

Ultra-Personal Service

Every patient is different and it’s key we understand:

• Your medical history

• Your current health

• Your lifestyle and training demands

• Your goals

There are no templates or standardised plans, we take time to understand the full picture.

Dietary Assessment and Analysis

We use Nutritics LIBRO, a clinically recognised dietary analysis platform, to assess:

• Energy intake

• Macronutrient balance

• Micronutrient adequacy

• Dietary patterns over time

This provides objective insight and supports clear, practical recommendations.

Supported by Clinical Testing

Where appropriate, nutrition advice is supported by medical assessment and testing, including:

• DEXA body composition scanning
  To assess fat, muscle, visceral fat and bone density

• Blood tests
  To assess metabolic health, nutritional markers, and relevant risk factors

• Blood pressure measurement

• Cholesterol assessment

This allows nutrition advice to be targeted, safe, and measurable.

Areas Commonly Addressed

Preventative Health

Nutrition plays an important role in reducing long-term health risk.

This may include support for:

• Cardiovascular health

• Metabolic health

• Type 2 diabetes risk

• Cancer risk reduction

This is about informed prevention, not guarantees.

Fatigue and Low Energy

Gut Health and Bloating

Strength Training and Body Composition

Nutrition is central to training outcomes.

Support may include:

• Muscle gain and preservation

• Recovery optimisation

• Protein and energy planning

• Body composition management

Weight Loss Medication and Nutrition

Weight loss medication can be appropriate for some patients.

Prescribing follows clinical criteria, including:

• BMI ≥ 30

• Or BMI ≥ 27 with a co-existing medical condition

Medication is prescribed within the clinic where appropriate.

Benefits and Considerations

Weight loss medication may:

• Reduce appetite

• Support early weight loss

• Improve metabolic markers

However, it also carries risks. Including:

• Loss of lean muscle mass

• Nutritional inadequacy

• Weight regain if lifestyle changes are not maintained

Medication is never used in isolation.

Clear. Practical. Realistic.

No false promises or unproven approaches.

Just evidence-based nutrition, delivered within a GP clinic, and tailored to you.
