NUTRITIONAL THERAPY 

ELENA YATES, BA (Hons), BSc NM, BANTm, CNHC Registered 
Nutritional Therapist 
 
Born in Moscow and growing up in the former Soviet Union in the 1980’s, Elena has had a life-long interest in complementary medicine where homeopathy, acupuncture and herbalism were a part of conventional medicine. As a result, Elena has always appreciated the wider benefits of a more holistic approach to health and well being and considers drugs to be the last choice for many health conditions. 
 
Moving to the UK in 1999 she first became interested in the science of nutrition when her youngest child was diagnosed with severe reflux and was unable to feed properly. Building upon the knowledge gained in researching this area, Elena began a degree course in Nutritional Medicine at Plaskett College with the acclaimed Dr Lawrence Plaskett. She completed her BSc in 2009. 
 
Today, Elena is a qualified lecturer and a professionally registered nutritional therapist. Alongside her clinical practice, Elena teaches all aspects of nutrition and healthy eating to a wide range of students and complementary practitioners as well as providing consultancy workshops and talks for public and local support groups. 
 
Underlining her commitment and devotion to new research and development in the field of health and nutrition Elena is also a member of the CPD (Continuous Professional Development) Committee for BANT (British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy). She also works as a core Nutritional Therapist for Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formerly Bristol Cancer Help Centre) in Pill, the UK's leading charity in complementary cancer care. 
 
 
What to expect from your Nutritional Therapy consultation 
Elena will assess your individual health, family history, dietary habits and digestive function. With your agreement she will then devise a dietary and lifestyle plan suitable for your particular needs and circumstances and, should the need arise, she may also include recommendations on nutritional supplements* or further functional tests. 
Elena successfully works alongside conventional medicine and is happy to liaise with your GP or Consultant if you wish, to help you gain maximum benefits. 
* Please note that Elena does not benefit financially from recommending nutritional supplements, as all practitioner discounts are passed directly to the patient.
