I am a registered dietitian and founder of J Nutrition. I thoroughly enjoy working with people and thrives on supporting them in achieving their goals.

I was born into a family where good nutrition was at centre stage in the household so naturally my love for good food began at an early age. My mother was a successful coach for a popular weight loss company and this really fuelled his interest in nutrition.

It was not until finishing university after studying a degree in Criminal Justice with Law that he decided to follow a career in addiction. Working as a therapist for over 6 years, I assisted individuals recovering from drug and alcohol issues. After seeing the power of nutrition within the body and its impact on his clients, I decided that this was his real passion and I went on to study Nutritional Therapy at the world-renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition.

I have received training in gastro-intestinal health problems, the nutritional management of energy imbalances, female hormone imbalances (including fertility, PMS, menopause), mood swings, dermatological (skin) health, immune health, and helping to address body composition and weight management needs.

Session description:

Before the first consultation, I’ll usually provide a health and nutrition questionnaire for the client to complete. An initial consultation typically lasts 60 minutes, and in this time you’ll be asked detailed questions about current health concerns, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, medical history, family history, lifestyle, levels of physical activity, use of medication and supplements and diet. I’ll then evaluate individual needs and use the extensive evidence base for nutritional science to develop a personalised, safe and effective nutrition and lifestyle programme.

Tests and supplements may be recommended and this will be discussed at your initial consultation. I believe in collaboration with health providers. If you have a medical need, I suggest that a visit to your GP is priority before booking an appointment with me. I also recommend that you inform your GP that you intend to work with a Nutritional Therapist.

Having had two children within the space of two years I found myself aged 30 feeling very tired and run down! I developed a bad case of adult acne for which my GP prescribed the antibiotic Tetracycline which made some but not much difference to my symptoms. I continued to take the Tetracycline but my general health and wellbeing declined dramatically, I felt like I was on a downward spiral and I was suffering from bouts of depression too.

It was one of the things which eventually lead me towards taking a degree in Nutritional Therapy and learning so much more about how diet can affect our health and wellbeing. As a Nutritional Therapist we look for the root causes of people’s health problems. If you can find the underlying cause of symptoms and treat the source it is a far more effective and safer way of looking after our health than using drugs, and diet often had a large part to play here. Drugs tend to treat symptoms but not the cause and they often come with nasty side effects which are then treated with more drugs. It can becomes a viscous circle which is difficult to break free from and an ever downward spiral from a health point of view.

Jo Travers

Jo Travers is a professional, evidenced-based nutritionist in London. She is a registered dietitian and provides confidential, individual nutrition advice to meet your personal situation and requirements, whether you are looking for weight loss programmes; help with how and what to feed your child; a specific diet plan to manage a medical condition; or a sports nutritionist.

The science of nutrition looks at the provision of necessary nutrients to the body to support life, health and growth. Many common health problems can be prevented, managed and improved with a healthy diet and lifestyle. However, eating and our relationships with food are individual, emotive and often far from scientific, therefore an approach tailored to each client achieves better results, more quickly.

Qualifications:

Human Nutrition & Dietetics BSc
Dietetics, First Class Honours

Years experience:

6 years

I have over 8 years of experience; which includes (NHS) clinical nutrition; working within specialist areas such as weight management, gastroenterology (the gut to you and I), oncology, hepatology and stroke rehabilitation to name just a few.

I was also the Lead Nutritionist with Bath Rugby Union during the 2008/9 and 2009/2010 seasons.

After four rewarding years within the NHS, I moved into a commercial career with Maxinutrition (aka Maximuscle owned by GlaxoSmithKline). Here, I had the chance to broaden my knowledge into the world of nutritional supplements; their use, their development and more importantly the science in which they are based upon. Responsible for supporting the marketing team by providing accurate sports nutrition messages, content and product usage recommendations. I also represented the company as the Nutrition Expert presenting to and writing for media publications such as Cosmopolitan, Mens Health, The Times, Daily Star, Perfect Wedding, The Metro and many more. I have been lucky enough to work with celebrities, elite athletes and budding weekend warriors alike, more recently so as Expert Sport Dietitian at the GSK Human Performance Lab.
