Dietary advice for health problems

Katiehound

Didn't know what to put in the title but I came across an article in Good Housekeeping about Jane Clarke (a well respected nutritionist.)
She has set up a website / forum/ blog to help people with specific health problems eg cancer, dementia, heart disease and their carers with advice how to improve their diet.
Tips for lose of appetite, difficulties swallowing etc

You can sign up for monthly e-mail

I'm certainly going to book mark the page

The specialist sites for health problems usually have their own diet/recipe sections.


Be aware that a nutritionist is not a dietician, the latter having a professional qualification (usually a degree). Anyone can set up as a nutritionist.

If you read the 'about me' link you will see :
Jane Clarke, BSc (Honours) SRD, is Britain’s most trusted Nutritionist and a trained Cordon Bleu Chef, whose belief is grounded in the simple statement that “food nourishes your life, not just your body”.

She has worked with/for David Beckham & Jamie Oliver.
Jane runs a specialist cancer and dementia nutrition practice

Might be worth a look (or not) and might help someone

But - she has written this herself!

Who can forget Dr Gillian McKeith?

Or, to give her her proper title - Gillian McKeith!

I have to be honest unless her articles were backed up by other independent websites, I'd take everything she said with a pinch of salt regardless of who she has worked with

She says that she is a qualified dietician - BSc (Honours) SRD

Strange you would then call yourself a title associated with the quackier end of the spectrum.

Maybe not registered with professional body for some reason?

This is her explanation -

"If you haven't guessed already, I am a dietitian. I only call myself a nutritionist because people find the concept easier (a dietitian sounds like someone on a weightloss mission)"

No idea why she isn't registered with a professional body.

She might be - I've not checked. It was just a theory as to why she didn't call herself one.

Have just checked on the Health & Care Professions Council website, and a Jane Clarke is registered as a dietician.

I read something a couple of days ago that Dieticians are required to model current health recommendations and not follow restrictive regimes themselves - maybe making an income from 'cancer' and 'dementia' diets mean she would be at risk of breaking professional regulations if she called herself a dietician? Or there's another Jane Clarke whose hard work and qualification has got her on that body's register? It's not exactly an unusual name, after all.
