Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is a science-led, personalised approach to health and wellbeing that uses
nutrition and lifestyle interventions to support the body’s natural systems and
promote optimal functioning. It involves assessing a person’s individual
needs—based on their diet, lifestyle, medical history, symptoms, and, where
appropriate, clinical testing—and tailoring recommendations accordingly.
Core elements include:
– Dietary analysis to
identify nutritional imbalances or deficiencies
– Personalised nutrition advice to support specific health goals or
address underlying issues (e.g. digestive concerns, hormonal imbalances,
fatigue, immune health)
– Use of food, supplements, and lifestyle changes as therapeutic tools
– Evidence-based practice grounded in nutritional science and
functional medicine principles
In the UK, nutritional therapy is a complementary discipline
and is often practised alongside conventional medicine. Practitioners typically
adhere to professional standards set by bodies such as BANT (British
Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) and are registered with the CNHC (Complementary and Natural
Healthcare Council). Nutritional therapists do not diagnose or treat medical
conditions unless they are also medically qualified.

About Samuel..
“My name is Samuel and I am compassionate about assisting people optimise their health and move away from chronic disease states.
Originally from North Devon, I now live in Wolverhampton with my wife, Rebecca.
My clinic is based solely online, where we will meet via video consultation. This allows the flexibility for you to have a consultation from your office or the comfort of your own home.
It also allows me to meet with clients outside of the West Midlands.
My aim as a practitioner is to investigate your case. Using functional tests, my comprehensive questionnaire and up-to-date research, I will look to find the root cause of your symptoms and health issues, where we will then work together to help your body heal.
Bespoke consultations are offered; including diet & lifestyle protocols, recommendations for supplements and functional laboratory testing (if applicable). These are designed to help to guide you in the right direction to make beneficial changes to your health.
I work with clients with multiple health concerns; including autoimmunity, gastrointestinal issues and cardiovascular health.
With research-backed protocols, I will work with you to better understand one of the most important areas of your body, the gut. The gut is seen as the foundation area for the body and includes multiple organs involved in processes ranging from digestion to detoxification and mental health.
You will receive guidance and education to allow you to take control of your basic health.
Online consultations are offered on a private consultation platform.
Bookings can be made through the clinic website.
I look forward to speaking with you soon!”
