Claudia Williamson, Nutritional Therapist 
Claudia is a qualified Nutritional Therapist from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London.  She is registered both with BANT, the British Association for Applied Nutrition & Nutritional Therapy, and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council. 

Claudia's interest in supporting people who have gastric bands began a number of years ago when she realised there was a lack of information available regarding nutrition specifically for gastric band wearers.  She undertook extensive research and created a support website specifically aimed at this group.  Claudia appreciates that nutritional support for people who are overweight is vital, particularly as they may also be under-nourished.

Claudia's other areas of special interest include cancer, digestive disorders and generally helping people through the vast amount of varied and often conflicting advice on healthy eating.
