The Stress Exchange

Nutritional Therapy:

As busy professionals in the centre of a major city we sometimes get caught up in the stresses and strains of everyday life; at The Stress Exchange we offer a full range of services to help you look and feel good. We now offer nutritional therapy as part of our services from our resident Nutritional Therapist Svetlana Ilina, BSc (Hons) MBANT.

What is Nutritional Therapy?
Our health is strongly linked to what we eat and how we process it. Our bodies malfunction if they are poorly nourished.

Nutritional Therapy is about understanding how our dietary habits affect our health. Nutritional Therapists apply nutrition science to promote optimum health & performance. They assess nutrient intake and identify biochemical imbalances which underline manifesting signs and symptoms. The imbalances could be nutrient deficiencies, hormonal insufficiency or excess, impaired detoxification functions, inappropriate inflammatory response, lack of digestive factors, to name a few.

Taking into account each person’s individual circumstances and unique nutritional needs, Nutritional Therapists develop therapeutic programmes to alleviate or prevent specific health issues and to support the efficiency of bodily functions. The programmes may involve dietary and lifestyle modification, as well as the use of nutritional supplements if appropriate. Diagnostic laboratory tests are sometimes suggested to assess body’s functions and treatment progress and to support recommended protocols.



Nutritional Therapy Procedure Consultations are confidential and one to one. Prior to your initial consultation you will be asked to complete a questionnaire and a three-day food consumption diary and return it before your consultation; this will enable more time for analysis and discussion. We may discuss your current health problems, medical history, lifestyle factors and aspects that affect your dietary habits (such as cooking abilities, personal, religious or medical issues). This is usually followed by Nutritional Therapist’s explanations of findings and diagnostic considerations. The last stage of the consultation is creating an achievable action plan. Within a few days post-consultation you will receive a personalised report. The report summarises the discussed diagnostic considerations, the action plan and a schedule of supplementation if agreed. In some cases clients may be asked to consult with their doctor to investigate medical problems. Follow-up consultations assess progress, address new issues, and adjust treatment plan accordingly. Clients are requested to respect appointment times and fees, we have a 24 hour rebooking and cancellation policy (see Stress Exchange terms and conditions).
