How Healthy Are Nutritional Therapists?

Liz Ince BSc (Hons) Nutritional Therapy 

This question formed the basis of a preliminary study carried out in 2004. The main purpose of the study was to ascertain if nutritional therapists “practise what they preach”. If nutritional therapy was found to have been beneficial with this group, this could help enhance the credibility of our profession. The original motivation for the research hinged on the knowledge that doctors, in particular, often neglect their own health in their efforts to help others and it was not known whether or not the same was true of nutritional therapists.
