Angie J.

Angie has over 15 years of experience as a UK-based dietitian working within the health service, commercial sector, and charity arenas. She offers advice on all aspects of nutrition, from meeting clinical needs, education, and lecturing to new product development and launch.

Angie is one of the leading nutritionists in the United Kingdom. After 8 years gaining experience and skills within the NHS community health setting, she now works on a freelance basis, providing advice and support to a variety of clients throughout the UK.

Good nutrition is the basis of healthy living throughout the whole of life. Many people are confused by the huge numbers of contradictory food and health messages provided every day by advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television. She strives to promote nutritional well-being, prevent nutrition-related health problems, and treat disease by promoting positive, practical messages about food and health.

Angie is a "State Registered Dietitian" (SRD) - a qualification gained following completion of a 4-year degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. State Registration is a protected title in the UK and provides your guarantee of a competent, qualified nutrition advisor. A State Registered Dietitian's unique skill is the translation of the science of nutrition into everyday information about food, health, and disease. State Registered Dietitians work within a strict ethical code of conduct to provide accurate, independent, and up-to-date information about nutrition and food.
