Meet Josie, your dietitian
I’m Josie, a registered dietitian helping you feel better in your body, without the overwhelm, the restriction, or the constant cycle of starting over.
​
I specialise in weight management, binge eating, gut health, and women’s health, but at the core of everything I do is a simple idea: most people don’t need more rules, they need a better understanding of food. My approach is food-first, grounded in evidence, and designed to actually fit your life.
​
Alongside my clinical work, I’m the author of How Not to Take Supplements — a book that cuts through the noise of the wellness industry and shows you how to meet your nutritional needs through real food, while understanding when supplements are (and aren’t) worth it.
​
I’ve worked across leading UK hospitals and clinics including University College London Hospitals, Guy’s and St Thomas’, and The Gut Health Clinic. But more importantly, I know how to translate that science into something practical, realistic, and sustainable.
​
There are no rigid rules here, and no judgement. Just clear, personalised guidance and a collaborative approach that helps you build habits that last, whether that’s improving your gut, feeling more in control around food, or reaching your goals in a way that actually feels good.
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
People often think that dietitians and nutritionists are the same thing. But the truth is, they are very different.
This is why it is really important to ensure you know which professional has the skillset, experience and training to meet your needs.
Generally, a dietitian can fulfill the role of a nutritionist, however, a nutritionist cannot fulfill the full role of a dietitian. This is due to the differences in training and experience.
​
A dietitian has a protected title by law, and receives relevant education, training and experience to help treat, and prevent diseases and other medical conditions. Whilst a nutritionist typically does not.
D I E T I T I A N S
Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals to be regulated by law, and are governed by an ethical code to ensure that they always work to the highest standard. They have to complete a dietetics university degree, and are trained in a medical setting, with mandatory hospital placements. They are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public health level. They work with both healthy and sick people.
​
If you have a medical condition that you would like support with or simply want general nutrition advice, you should seek support with a dietitian.
N U T R I T I O N I S T S
Nutritionists with university degrees can help people with general nutritional advice and support, but they can't specifically treat or manage medical conditions unless they're working closely with a supervising dietitian or in some cases a doctor. Some people may call themselves "nutritionists" but they may not have a university degree. Always check for credentials.
​
If you have a medical condition that you would like support with, a dietitian is who you should turn to for safe and effective advice. A nutritionist can support you with general nutrition advice.
