Understanding How to Nourish the Body and Boost the Immune System

Jen McDiarmid | Nutritional Therapist

Jennifer is a Nutritional Therapist with over 7 years’ experience working in the field of Nutrition and Wellbeing. Jennifer runs a private practice seeing clients on a 1:1 basis as well as working with various Charities and Businesses throughout the South of England. Jennifer’s approach to nutrition is to really help people understand their body, what their needs are and practical ways to help them achieve their true health potential. This helps the people she works with feeling educated, positive and motivated about the changes that they will make. Nutritional Therapy is a recognized complimentary medicine and is therefore suitable for people who simply want to make some positive lifestyle changes, or those who have a chronic health condition.

This talk is aimed at helping people understand in simple steps, what healthy eating looks like. Using the ‘ideal’ eating plate, we will discuss the role of fats, protein and carbohydrates as well as vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids in the body. We will discuss why we need them, how they contribute to health and what quantities we need.
This talk will look why certain ‘diets’ have claimed to be the approach to take and look at the science behind intermittent fasting, the metabolic diet, the Cambridge diet and the low carb diet, and how instead of following a strict regime, making simple subtle changes can make huge changes to nourish the body – leading to improved energy, mood, sleep and boosted immunity.

Jennifer will spend time explaining how to practically apply any changes to everyday life – what to eat when you are in a rush and time is limited, best foods to snack on, and ideas for breakfasts and evening meals. This talk will help people feel motivated and positive about how to look after themselves and how to ensure their immune systems are boosted.

Electronic notes and recipes will be provided for the participants at the talk.
