Diana takes a practical and realistic approach to nutrition. Food is not just about nutrients and calories. We eat for pleasure, taste, social occasions and many of us have traditions around food. Diana will work with people on realistic and achievable personal health goals. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach and there are no quick fixes either. Advice is individually tailored and we will work towards long term improved health through small and gradual changes.
