Nutrition
Self London understands that skin issues are only one part of the story. We listen, we understand and we get the full picture of someone’s life and how various factors might impact someone’s skin and someone’s confidence.
Even with the best intentions, our relationship with food can become complex, having far-reaching impacts such as affecting our hormonal health, which in turn may result in negative consequences to our physical and mental health, performance, and skin.
How does Self London approach nutrition?
We want to support you from the word go and ensure that we provide you with the appropriate support with diet and nutrition.
Our dietitian, Lucy, takes a holistic, data-driven approach to help create recommendations for managing your general diet in a healthy way, as well as a more tailored approach if you have a skin or other condition which may be sensitive to, or otherwise influenced by, your diet.
We will do our best to guide you on this journey but we will not tell you what to do. We listen and we support – empowering you to be self-motivated, confident and energised about the changes you can make and the impact it can have on your life.
What will our sessions be like?
To ensure she has all the relevant information from the outset, Lucy will gather a thorough history during the initial consultation, as well as carry out a detailed analysis of diet and any symptoms. Various lab tests may also be recommended to provide more detailed data. Together these will inform her dietary recommendations, as well as advice on self-care in general.
Follow-ups will monitor progress, informing any tweaks required to the management plan and ensuring it suits your general lifestyle.
Nutrition and female Hormonal Health
Hormones are key players in physical and mental health. The female hormone network is the most complex and changes over lifespan. Understanding their individualised hormonal health empowers women with knowledge to make informed decisions to support quality of life and long-term health.
While there is a plethora of information available on nutrition, a healthy balanced diet is going to be an approach that is appropriate and relevant to you. We take into consideration your lifestyle, potential stressors and other behaviours in order to create unique and bespoke nutritional advice for you.
