  • 01

    A regulated dietitian, not a "nutritionist"

    Every clinician in our network is HCPC-registered — the protected title that actually means something.

  • 02

    Personalised plans, not templates

    Advice built around your goals, medical history and culture — not a PDF everyone gets.

  • 03

    Joined-up with your medicine

    We coordinate with your GP, consultant or specialist so the plan fits your care, not against it.

The problem

Anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist”.

Plenty of coaches and influencers will sell you a plan. Very few are qualified clinicians. Dietitian is the regulated title — that is the difference between a proper assessment and a template.

  • Weight that will not shift?

    A dietitian builds a plan around your metabolism, medication and life — not a crash diet you cannot keep.

  • A diagnosis that needs nutrition?

    Diabetes, IBD, coeliac, CKD and liver disease all need condition-specific dietary care from a specialist RD.

  • Training seriously?

    Sports RDs cover fuelling, hydration, recovery and body composition — properly, not from a supplement seller.

The journey

From enquiry to a written plan — what happens, in order.

One dietitian from first message to follow-up — usually a plan in your hand within the week.

  1. 01

    Before

    You tell us your goals

    A short, confidential form. Weight, sport, a diagnosis, a child, a family history — whatever you want to understand.

  2. 02

    Before

    We match the right RD

    Within one working day: a dietitian with the right specialism, and a clear cost and plan.

  3. 03

    Before

    We book the appointment

    Clinic or video, often within a few days. We tell you about any fasting, bloods or forms to complete.

  4. 04

    On the day

    The assessment

    Sixty to ninety minutes: history, goals, food-frequency questionnaire, and body composition where useful.

  5. 05

    On the day

    Investigations if needed

    Bloods, micronutrient panel or a DEXA can be arranged the same visit at UKAS-accredited labs.

  6. 06

    After

    Your personalised plan

    A written plan you can actually follow — meals, portions, supplements only where indicated.

  7. 07

    After

    Follow-up and support

    Short reviews to adjust the plan, hold the line, and answer the questions that come up in real life.

Typical end-to-end: 5–7 days. Longer arcs of care available.

What it covers

The reasons people see a dietitian.

Nutritional assessment answers very different questions. These are the reasons patients come to us most.

  • Weight management

    Sustainable weight loss or gain built around your life — not a crash plan you cannot maintain.

  • Micronutrient deficiencies

    Iron, B12, vitamin D and more — tested and corrected properly, not guessed at with a multivitamin.

  • Athlete performance

    Fuelling, hydration, recovery and body composition tuned to your sport and training load.

  • Disease-specific (diabetes, CKD, liver)

    Evidence-based plans for type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and more.

  • GI conditions (IBS, IBD, coeliac)

    FODMAP, exclusion and gluten-free plans supervised by a specialist gastro dietitian.

  • Vegan/vegetarian planning

    A complete, adequate plant-based diet — protein, iron, B12, omega-3 and calcium properly covered.

  • Paediatric growth

    Feeding, growth and fussy eating assessed by a paediatric-specialist RD.

  • Red flag: eating disorder concerns

    If we spot signs of an eating disorder, we route you straight to a specialist ED pathway — not a diet plan.

Options

The options we arrange most.

What each option is actually for.

  • Initial dietitian consult

    A one-hour first appointment: history, goals, and a starter plan you leave with.

  • Full assessment + bloods

    Consultation plus a targeted blood panel to find the deficiencies and patterns behind symptoms.

  • Body composition (DEXA) + review

    Fat, lean mass and bone density measured properly, then interpreted in a nutrition review.

  • Sports nutrition

    Fuelling, hydration, supplementation and body-composition strategy for training and competition.

  • Disease-specific (diabetes, CKD, IBD)

    RDs with a clinical specialism in the condition you have — not a generalist guess.

  • Weight-management programme

    A longer arc of care — plan, follow-ups and support — including GLP-1 medication support where appropriate.

  • Paediatric nutrition

    Growth, feeding, fussy eating and allergy diets, led by a paediatric-specialist RD.

  • Post-bariatric follow-up

    Structured nutritional care after gastric surgery — protein, vitamins and long-term monitoring.

Our vetted London network

A small panel of dietitians and clinics, we picked them.

Registered dietitians across central and greater London, with clinic or video appointments. Not listed publicly — introductions are made privately, once we understand your case.

Selection criteria

How we choose every RD and clinic in our network.

Safety and practicalities

A clinical assessment, not a diet product.

Nutritional assessment is low-risk — but the wrong plan, especially in pregnancy, childhood or eating disorders, can cause real harm. The details matter.

  • Dietitian is a regulated protected title (RD)

    Only HCPC-registered dietitians can legally use the title. Every clinician in our network is registered.

  • "Nutritionist" is not always regulated

    Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. We only work with RDs and, where relevant, ANutr/RNutr-registered nutritionists.

  • Fasting for some bloods

    Cholesterol and glucose panels usually prefer an 8–12 hour fast. We tell you exactly what applies.

  • Food-frequency questionnaire

    A validated FFQ is commonly used so the RD can see what you actually eat over weeks, not one recall.

  • Culturally-appropriate advice available

    Plans built around your kitchen, culture and family meals — not a generic template.

  • Pregnancy needs specialist RD

    Nutritional needs shift in pregnancy. We route you to an RD with maternal specialism.

  • Paediatric needs specialist RD

    Children are not small adults. Growth, feeding and allergy work needs a paediatric-specialist RD.

  • Eating disorder red flags require specialist ED pathway

    If we identify concerns, we route to a specialist ED service — dietary advice alone can be harmful.

  • Never over-supplement without RD input

    Some vitamins and minerals are harmful in excess. Correct deficiencies with a clinician, not a bundle.

Reading your report

A nutrition report can look intimidating. It isn’t.

However detailed the assessment, the write-up follows the same four parts.

A quiet reminder

Read the Impression first — the plan is the point, not the numbers.

If you would like us to talk you through it before your follow-up, just ask.

  1. 01 Header

    Goals and medical history

    What you came in for, your medical history, medications and any prior nutrition work.

  2. 02 Technique

    Which assessment tools were used

    Food-frequency questionnaire, 24-hour recall, body composition and any bloods that were run.

  3. 03 Findings

    BMI, body composition, deficiencies, patterns

    Objective measurements alongside dietary patterns, deficits and problem areas.

  4. 04 Impression

    The plan and follow-up: read this first

    The dietitian’s conclusion — the plan, the supplements only where indicated, and the follow-up schedule.

Frequently asked

Everything we get asked about nutritional assessment.

Quick answers on cost, referrals, body composition, sports nutrition and when to see a GP first.

  • What does a dietitian actually do?

    A dietitian assesses your diet, medical history, bloods and body composition, and builds a personalised plan for a specific goal — weight, sport, a diagnosis, or family health. It is a clinical assessment, not a generic diet.

  • Dietitian vs nutritionist — what is the difference?

    Dietitian is a legally protected title, regulated by the HCPC, and only qualified clinicians can use it. "Nutritionist" is not always regulated — anyone can use the title. Registered Nutritionists (ANutr/RNutr) with the AfN are the well-regulated exception. We only work with RDs and appropriately registered nutritionists.

  • How much does a private nutritional assessment cost in London?

    An initial dietitian consultation is typically £120–£280. A full assessment with bloods runs £250–£500, and a body-composition DEXA with review £350–£700. We confirm a firm figure within one working day.

  • Do I need a referral?

    No. Most private dietitian appointments accept self-referral. For medically complex cases we may loop in your GP or consultant so the plan fits your care.

  • What is body composition and do I need it?

    Body composition measures fat mass, lean mass and bone density — usually with DEXA. It is more useful than BMI for athletes, weight management and post-bariatric follow-up, but not everyone needs it.

  • Can you help with sports nutrition?

    Yes. We work with sports-specialist RDs who cover fuelling, hydration, recovery, body composition and supplementation for amateur and elite athletes.

  • Do you support GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy)?

    Yes. GLP-1 medications work best alongside a proper nutritional plan — protein, micronutrients and long-term habits. Our RDs support patients on these medications and after coming off them.

  • What if you think I have an eating disorder?

    If we identify red flags for an eating disorder, we route you to a specialist ED service rather than a diet plan. Dietary advice on its own can be harmful in eating disorders.

  • How long until I get results and a plan?

    You leave the initial consultation with a starter plan. A full assessment with bloods is typically written up within 5–7 days.

  • When should I see a GP urgently instead?

    Unintentional weight loss, persistent vomiting, blood in stool, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an eating-disorder crisis need a GP or A&E first — not a dietitian appointment.
