Patricia Niland Dip.ION, MBANT
Patricia trained as a Clinical Nutritionist, at the acclaimed Institute For Optimum Nutrition in London, founded by Patrick Holford. Her passion for nutrition was sparked by her recovery from a severe illness in childhood, where she was treated only with foods and natural therapies.
After establishing thriving practices, in both London and Surrey, Patricia moved to Southport, Merseyside where she now runs her main nutrition clinic, where she consults with individuals regarding their health and wellbeing. Other nutrition clinics across the North West of England are situated in Liverpool, Merseyside and Blackburn, Lancashire.
She works alongside companies dealing with employee health and regularly gives talks to organisations about health and nutrition. “I believe optimum nutrition is about YOU! We are all individual. Optimum nutrition acknowledges this and works with your strengths and weaknesses to create a programme that really works for you. It is an acknowledgement of your uniqueness and an extremely powerful tool, which can enable you to truly ‘Live Your Life.’

What is Nutritional Therapy?
To rebalance your body and promote wellness, the science of nutrition is presented to you as a practical programme, comprising diet, lifestyle and vitamin/mineral recommendations. This is a system designed to strengthen the individual, ultimately enabling you to thrive. Optimum nutrition promotes balance and equilibrium, by providing the body with the nutrients it requires for life. This encourages disease prevention, maximum health and vitality. Optimise your diet, Optimise your life!
Are you ill or just imbalanced?
The body is continually breaking down and regenerating itself, a process that requires specific nutrients and a diet and lifestyle that ‘works with’ the body to enhance energy levels rather than deplete them.
Nutritional therapy is a health promoting system that views symptoms of ill health or low energy as an indication that imbalance exists within the body. Your personal programme works to minimise the effect of any factors which may be detrimental to your health. The human body strives for life and wellness, with your programme aiming to enhance these instincts, allowing your body to work towards it’s own recovery.
I.B.S. (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) for example, is an ‘umbrella term’ used to define gut problems. With nutritional therapy, rather than just treating the symptoms, the aim is to establish why the symptoms are occurring. Diet alone may be the cause of the problem and if this is the case, minimal dietary changes can bring total improvement. However testing is sometimes required to provide more in depth information for diagnosis, or a supplementation programme may be used to heal the gut if appropriate. Whichever route of treatment is chosen, it is constructed in order to balance the body and to enable it to regain optimal health.
