How can Registered Dietitian & Testing Services Help You?
A dietitian is a healthcare professional who specializes in nutrition and dietetics, which involves the science of managing food and nutrition to promote health. Registered dietitians (RD) assess, diagnose, and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level. They work with both healthy and sick people, using the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health, and disease, which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
Dietitians are trained to provide tailored nutritional advice based on a person’s medical history and personal circumstances. They are qualified to treat a range of medical conditions with dietary therapy, specially tailored to each individual. Furthermore, dietitians play a critical role in public health, sports nutrition, research, and providing advice for healthy eating.

Metabolic Rate Assessment: Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body needs to maintain essential functions like heart rate, breathing, digestion, and blood circulation. An RMR assessment—a 10-minute breath test that measures oxygen consumption—provides a precise measure of your metabolism.
Body Composition Testing: Understanding your body composition is helpful for gauging progress accurately – Whether you’ve lost weight, gained muscle, or experienced weight changes. We provide detailed information about your muscle mass and body fat. This test helps you understand your body’s unique makeup and track changes over time, making your progress measurable and clear.
How Can A Nutrition Therapist Help You?
A nutrition therapist, often referred to as a nutritional therapist, practices a form of complementary medicine and takes a holistic approach to health that considers an individual’s diet and lifestyle to prevent and alleviate disease.
Nutrition therapists assess a client’s nutritional intake, overall health, and lifestyle to develop personalised diet and lifestyle plans that aim to improve their health and wellbeing. They might provide guidance on detoxification, immune function, energy levels, skin health, weight management, and digestion, among other health concerns.
Introducing Melissa Cronshaw, BSc (Hons), NNCP, ANutr, Nutrition Therapist
Our Nutritional Therapist, Melissa Cronshaw, helps patients to optimise their nutrition for health and guides patients through sustainable weight loss and the various stages of life, particularly for challenging periods like menopause. Mel is an internationally educated Nutrition Therapist, registered with CANNP in Canada, as well as a Registered Associate Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition in the UK.
She completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Nutritional Science, specialising in clinical and sport nutrition at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. After graduating, she set up a private practice in the UK where she provided 1-1 personalised nutrition programs.

Our childhood habits, lifestyle, jobs, family dynamic, as well as many other factors, contribute to the development of our eating habits which may be detrimental to our long-term health. We all eat so differently, which is why personalization through evidence-based nutrition is the only effective way of achieving sustainable weight loss and making meaningful food choices. Mel will guide you through the research to discover and understand the most impactful nutritional habits for your needs.
