Nutrigenomic Specialist

Rachel Clarkson, the DNA Dietitian, is one of the UK’s leading and best Nutrigenomic Specialists who will help you tailor your diet to meet your nutritional requirements.

Nutrigenomics is the study of the relationship between your genetics, nutrition and health, it is a discipline that is helping to make the work of dietitians even more valuable than before.

All dietitians are already highly qualified and used to working with patients and clients who have a wide range of needs, these including managing serious medical conditions.

However, using a dietitian who is a nutrigenomics specialist ensures that the bespoke plan for your health takes into account every aspect of your genetic make-up rather than being somewhat more generalised.

This form of Nutrigenomix testing can only be provided by board-certified experts. In the UK Rachel Clarkson is one of a small band off such experts.

About Rachel Clarkson – Nutrigenomic Specialist Dietitian

As with all dietitians, Rachel’s CV is impressive – it is worth noting the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist. 

Dietitian is a protected term, only qualified health professionals who use nutrition to treat medical conditions can use the term. Dietitians work in tandem with other healthcare experts to ensure a joined-up approach that is in the patient’s best interests. 

Nutritionist is not a protected term and so anybody can call themselves by this title. There is no guarantee of experience or medical knowledge.

Rachel’s experience includes working at leading London hospitals before setting up her own private practice on Harley Street. She holds a Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science from King’s College and has studied nutrition and molecular and biochemical level. 

Her expertise in the field of nutrigenomics and the relationship between genetic make-up and nutritional health is shown by her published work on epigenetics in How Diet Affects DNA Expression.

Further qualifications have followed, including research into food and our genes. You can learn more about Rachel on the dedicated About Her page. 

An Example of What A Nutrigenomics Specialist Can Provide

Given you have searched for a nutrigenomics specialist you may already be aware of precisely the service this level of dietitian provides. Equally, you may be seeking further information.

One of the best ways to see the benefits is to see an example report. Please follow the link below to see an example report, available in PDF format.

• Example Nutrigenomics Report

The level of detail, all bespoke to that patient, is remarkable. 

There is a summary, this showing dietary fitness components and whether they are typical, elevated or diminished – with further details provided. What this status means is also explained – in the example report the patient has a high risk associated to gluten and so is at high risk of gluten intolerance.

The patient also has a heightened pain tolerance and a genetic advantage to excel in endurance sports, however they also have heightened risk of Achilles tendon injury.

Dietary advice is included, this patient should consume 20 to 30% of energy from protein and at least half their fat intake as monounsaturated fat.

And this is only the summary, there is far more depth and detail further down the report.

The report, and consultation with Rachel, will give you an insight that is otherwise impossible, enabling you to change your diet and also learn how to manage your body to stay in peak health.

The report then enables Rachel to work with you to find as dirt that works. It will fit your eating habits, your preferred foods and those things you simply can’t stand. There is no point imposing a diet, however healthy, if the patient simply won’t stick to it, that is why Rachel always works with any client to come to a realistic, sustainable plan with true long term benefit.

Insight That Delivers

All dietitians offer a superb service, their level of qualification ensures they give tailored advice. 

However, even within the high standards of the profession, Rachel’s feedback sees her stand out.

On Google, her reviews from past patients are universally the full five stars and the testimonials glowing.

“Would highly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking to improve their health! I found my genetic analysis to be an empowering and motivating tool to make healthy changes using Rachel’s techniques.”

“A very informative and extremely beneficial consultation. Rachel was able to address my concerns and make suitable recommendations. Just speaking with her helped to put my mind at rest. She is an expert within her field.”

“Having tried many different diets over the years without much success, I had a consultation with Rachel. 

I decided to take the option of a DNA test and WOW I am so pleased I did. 

An extremely comprehensive analysis of my body’s ability to absorb specific nutrients, vitamins and even caffeine and its effect on me. 

Rachel then worked with me to develop a bespoke diet plan which, because I was involved in it, I find much easier to stick to than the diets I have previously tried.”
