London Nutritionist - Angelique Panagos, DipION FdSc mBANT CNHC

Nutritionist

I'm Angelique, a nutritionist based in London. My goal is to help you live a healthier life, filled with energy and free from painful symptoms. I work alongside your medical team and I use scientific research to give you the tools to improve your overall wellbeing, using nothing but nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplementation. My nutrition journey started in my early twenties when I began suffering from eating disorders. I was anorexic, then bulimic, and then extremely overweight. I developed autoimmune hypothyroidism; was diagnosed with PCOS, adenomyosis, and had many debilitating symptoms. I had 2 miscarriages before having our beautiful daughter, as you can see I am no stranger to hormonal havoc. Looking back, I'm glad I went through it all. My health issues are the reason I got my nutrition qualification and why I can relate to the people I work with. I love what I do. This is why I want to share my journey with you and I hope you share yours with me :-)

Nutritionist vs Dietitian vs Nutritional Therapist

I get asked this all the time. Here's my take on it. The word 'nutritionist' is not a protected title and therefore anybody who claims to be an expert in the field of nutrition can call themselves a nutritionist. This is a broad description because some nutritionists have not studied, meaning they are not appropriately qualified and do not belong to a governing body. Registered Nutritionists have however spent many years studying and provide evidence-based information and guidance about the impacts of food and nutrition on the health and wellbeing. They normally work in research, education and in policy development. When taking advice from a nutritionist always check they have studied, are registered and belong to a governing body.

A dietitian is somebody who has a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council. Dietitians generally work with the NHS, although some will work directly with the public. I am not a dietitian.

A nutritional therapist is somebody who is appropriately qualified, is registered and has a recognised qualification in Nutritional Therapy. Nutritional therapists usually work in private practice offering bespoke health plans, using nutrition and lifestyle interventions to help support the body towards maintaining health. I am a qualified and registered nutritional therapist. When taking advice from a nutritional therapist always check they have appropriately qualified, are registered and belong to a regulated governing body as it is not a protected title. As a registered nutritional therapist, in my clinic I specialise in weight management, hormonal health, stress and digestion. Outside of my clinic setting I work as a BANT Registered Nutritionist providing comment for the media and TV, giving talks, running corporate workshops and a wide range of other activities.

BANT, my governing body has more to say about nutrition titles.
