Your Thoughts and 'Lightbulb' Moments

Yael Segal, BSc NS + NTPD, on Eran Segal's Ted Talk best diet for humans:
I think this was a very interesting presentation but I am not sure I totally agree with his points. I totally agree that we, as nutritional therapists or any other nutrition professionals, should focus on the person in front of us when advising them what to eat. I also agree with the fact that every human being has a different genetic makeup, lifestyle, microbiome etc. and therefore requires a personalised diet.
But what I found interesting is that he mentions that based on the makeup of the microbiome, people have different glucose responses to different foods. So one might eat ice cream and not have any glucose spikes while the other might have a huge spike and it all depends on the makeup of the microbiome.
First of all, as far as I understood he only focuses on obesity and diabetes. But health is more than just that. I can't imagine that "junk food" would be healthy to eat, even if it is on the "good diet" list suggested by the algorithm. It might not have a negative effect on the glucose response but it might deplete the person of important vitamins and minerals and effect the persons health in another way.
In addition, according to him the microbiome predicts our glucose response to certain foods but we know that the foods we eat (plus other factors) also affect the makeup of our microbiome. That would mean that our glucose response to certain foods would constantly change as our microbiome changes.
Lastly, there are other factors, other than food, that have an effect on our glucose response. These include food intolerances and stress. I missed those in this presentation.
Claire Miles BSc NS:
I'm due to graduate in July, I have been a South African student and we formed a really great study group locally which helped see us through our final assignments.
I started studying nutrition with the intention to help others with their diets. I underestimated the work load and expectations demanded by higher education of this manner. I also underestimated my own ability. During my studies I changed the niche I would focus on almost 10 times as and when I learnt something new, more interesting than the last. I battled through the science with a weak academic background.
SAANT (local governing body) lost an application to allow us to register as NT's locally and for a few weeks time stood still, what now? Where to from here? Was it all in vain. I once read an insert from W H Murray who wrote that boldness has magic and genius to it. That once you commit to a decision to do something, fully commit and everything will start falling into place. A stream of events, incidents and material will begin to come your way. This has proved so true in my nutritional studies. I am in the process of setting up an informative website directed at children and I'm adding to it a children's picture book on nutrition and will provide factual, evidence based talks at local schools. I find myself going back to my work that I had done during my studies – my notes, lectures and emails. All this has been valuable and I know that nothing has been lost. I have never felt so motivated and excited about a project as I am with this, even more so because I am confident with my content which is thanks to the education I received through CNELM.
Anita Tejani MSc Personalised Nutrition, graduated 2015:
My "lightbulb" moment happened following a trip to Bali, Indonesia. I had been suffering from sudden onset chronic digestive and other symptoms so extreme that I could barely walk and would even sometimes faint in public. All standard medical testing said I was fine but, of course, there was something horrible going on. I went to Bali in hopes of finding my answer as it was world renowned as a healing destination.
There, in Bali, it seemed like many other people had nearly identical stories which were not showing up on normal medical testing. These people refused to give up, and instead had transformed themselves using nutrition and lifestyle. And it wasn't one person - it was dozens that I had met! I had just enrolled in CNELM and couldn't have been more sure of my choice at that time. I began applying everything I learned to help transform my health as well, and here I am 2.5 years later - a healthy, active young girl once again! It wasn't an easy journey, but it was all worth it, and I owe my livelihood to nutrition and my education at CNELM. |

CNELM Online Work Experience
|
|
|
|
By Satu Jackson
Module Leader for Nutrition in Practice and Nutrition Enterprise and Research Supervisor.
For the past two years CNELM has included up to 50 hours of Online Work Experience (OWE) in level 5 Nutrition in Practice module, to expand the students’ horizons about the variety of opportunities available to Nutrition Science graduates.
The OWE includes up to 15 different companies and organisations varying from supplement companies and laboratories to independent organisations such as Nutrition iMag and FED Nutrition and commercial enterprises such as Genius Gluten Free. All opportunities are research-based, emphasising the need for evidence-based nutritional research and data to support product development and client/customer communications. The opportunities are provided online to ensure all students around the world have an equal opportunity to participate in OWE.
All of the OWE opportunities have their own challenges, but overall the students have provided very good feedback and found the opportunity informative and in many cases invaluable in informing the student’s approach to their studies and their future career choices. In some cases, the student has found increased enthusiasm in a particular field of nutrition or career option and in some cases the student has found out that they do not enjoy a particular job, which is as valuable for future planning as is a positive experience.
Work has started to include OWE again for the third time in the Nutrition in Practice module, where it forms an integral part of the learning experience, due for the start of the module in September.

On the 15th of May, the first programme in the 2nd series of Dr in the House was broadcast on BBC1 at 9pm.
This series features Dr Rangan Chatterjee, a GP from Manchester, who spends time living with patients in order to better understand where the root cause of their health issue stems from. Dr Chatterjee has become frustrated with standard medical practice, believing that Dr’s should take a more functional medicine approach to improve health care outcomes.
Dr Chatterjee has worked with Nutritional Therapist Michael Ash of Clinical Education on both series, with Michael Ash providing daily research and clinical support.
The case studies available from Clinical Education reflect Michael and Rangan’s key thoughts and discussions, as well as interventions used to help the patients featured better manage their conditions. This is such an important series, hopefully opening many peoples understanding to the power of a functional medicine approach to chronic health care problems. Below are some thoughts of my own from the first episode – bear in mind there is a huge amount of editing around the programme, which makes it hard to accurately critique. This is such an interesting series to open discussion around, so to all those of you with access to the series, please email me your thoughts on each episode for the next edition.
Series 2, episode 1:
Patient: Gemma H (GH) – 34yr Caucasian Female.
1.Primary complaint is of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania/cluster
headaches/migraine since age 21 (13yrs).
a. Each attack is usually short-lived, with most lasting between 5 and 40 minutes.
The pain is always one-sided, very severe, and seems to be concentrated around
the eye, temple, and forehead region.
b. GH. Experiences between 1-10 per day > at night & > menses.
c. However, during her pregnancies (2) the Symptoms disappeared completely.
2. Fatigue - woken at night by husband (with snoring) and head pains
Relationship and being overwhelmed (feelings of being stressed)
4. Managing lifestyle
5. Hip and shoulder pain
Dr Chatterjee put various post-it notes on his wall with functional areas on, such as digestion, musculoskeletal, histamine and seemed to focus largely on histamine triggers. As far as I could tell, the patient wasn’t showing any other signs of histamine intolerance, but it might be that editing made it impossible to pick up. Likewise with the gut; Dr Chatterjee did mention stress, but there was no specific mention of increased intestinal permeability – again, this could have been due to editing.
In spite of the protocol, the patient seemed to get a lot worse until a specialist chiropractor found evidence of injury to her neck. After treating the neck injury, the patient’s symptoms improved dramatically. Interesting that pregnancy might have provided a pain-relieving effect; let me know why you think that might be?
It crossed my mind that the coaching techniques that we use at CNELM would be a good addition to Dr Chatterjee’s tool box particularly as he is investigating and treating some very complex cases within a family context and being televised.
Did anyone else think the patient showed any other symptoms of histamine intolerance? Was there anything else you thought could have been included? I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.
The deadline for the next Newsletter will be June 23rd, so do let me have your thoughts by then. |

Food For The Brain Initiative
|
|
|
|
By Alice Benskin BSc NLP Practitioner
CNELM Technical & Administrative Assistant
May 8th – 14th was Mental Health Week. Joanne Hart, CNELM graduate, Nutritional Therapist and Clinic Supervisor for CNELM and I decided to take part in Food for the Brain’s initiative to raise money for their work, and awareness to the importance of nutrition and mental health.
As we talked about in the last issue of the Nutritional Supplement, 1 in 4 people are affected by a mental health issue in the UK alone. I myself experienced Post Natal Depression after the birth of my daughter, and have known first-hand how key nutrition is for promoting good mental health.
Joanne graciously agreed to host us in her beautiful home in Wokingham, and on Saturday night half a dozen of us met together to enjoy some very delicious and healthy recipes. Each attendee had been set the challenge of making a delicious recipe that was gluten and dairy free. There was a rainbow salad, some nutritious hors d'oeuvres, vegan cheese, homemade beetroot hummus and two desserts to choose from. Drinks included herbal teas of every flavour and combination you can imagine (I loved sipping on my Pukka cinnamon one!). Everyone seemed delighted with the food, and the feedback was really encouraging, proving you can have party food that is both healthy and fun.
Below is the recipe for my contribution. This was inspired by one of the recipes recommended in the leaflet that Food for the Brain provided for the event, but I gave it my own personal twist.
Banana and Turmeric Cake
Ingredients
2 cups of gluten free flour
1 cup of homemade chai tea (1 tbsp turmeric powder + cinnamon bark steeped in hot water)
2 bananas mashed
2 tbsps of tahini
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1 tbsp of coconut oil
Method
1. Brew the chai tea.
2. Mash banana, tahini, coconut oil and chia seeds together.
3. Add to mixing bowl and add the flour.
4. Gently add the tea and mix together.
5. Put mixture into tin and bake in oven for 20 mins at 200 degrees C

Programme Leader Nutrition Coach Diploma, Module Leader, Coach Trainer
Do you have chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, IBS or MCS?
Functional illnesses are considered by many to be triggered by a range of challenges to the body, such as a viral infection or other physical, chemical or emotional challenges, which may, overtime, lead to a range of dysfunctional body processes. Research evidence increasingly suggests the use of interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Neuro linguistic Programming and Breath Retraining may assist people to change their body-state, mindset and enhance their self-awareness to support the body and mind back into a 'healthy' balance.
CNELM, based in Wokingham, are partnering with Reclaim Health, a team of NHS doctors and expert ex-patients who have developed, through experience and with NHS research funding, a powerful approach to help support Functional Somatic Syndromes.
This course aims to support:
• An understanding of how your symptoms may have occurred and that they are real and might potentially be reversed
• The development of a BODY/MIND toolkit to positively influence your body-mind symptoms
• The value of your experiences and how you can harness them to create a stronger and more resilient life for yourself
• The re-discovery of your own power to create the life you want in the future
There is appropriate support before, during and after the course from the Reclaim Health Team that will be teaching the course.
The next Reclaim Health 3-day course is taking place at CNELM in Wokingham 14-16 Sept 2017. It will be facilitated by two leading practitioners, both recovered from long-term illnesses. Total cost is £500 payable as £250 deposit, and £250 a week before the start date.
Reclaim Health operates as a ‘not for profit’ Community Interest Company. The course is being evaluated independently through the University of Westminster and the Centre for Nutrition Education and Lifestyle Management (CNELM).
If you, or someone you know has a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome or other Functional Somatic Syndrome this course may be of benefit. We are committed to supporting people to reclaim their health, and look forward to hearing from you
To find out more or to request an application form, contact the Reclaim Health team by emailing
reclaimhealth@cnelm.co.uk.

Sian Jefferey
Programme Leader for BSc (Hons) Nutritional Science and Institution Link Tutor:
I would encourage students to take opportunities to access learning whenever possible. I have attended a few of the RSM lectures, the most recent being the Christmas lecture 2016 “Sarah Winckless MBE – maximise your performance”. A recording of this lecture is available on the RSM website.
I went to the lecture in person and whilst I was a bit nervous going on my own and I felt a little bit intimidated by attending a lecture with people I perceived to be better qualified than me, once I was sitting down I chatted to the people sitting near me and realised that we were all from different backgrounds and none of them conventional medicine. I always make lots of notes as mind maps, this often prompts conversation with people near me and at the end of the lecture I had brief chat with the people near me; we had all learned something different from the same lecture
I really believe that ideas and creativity need to be fed and that even learning opportunities that at first glance don’t seem necessarily relevant can add new dimensions to learning and applying learning.
When I have taken part in an activity that I feel has been a learning experience I write a short review so that I can remember the key points and how they might be relevant to other things.
Samantha Lewis
Freelance lecturer and tutor for L7 PNR and clinic supervisor:
As someone who has been studying nutrition since 2003 and working in clinical practice for 9 years, it never ceases to amaze me how much I continue to learn in this field. It is a BANT requirement that practitioners complete a minimum of 30 CPD hours every year. I personally feel that this is warranted as research in nutrition is constantly evolving.
This weekend I attended the Nutri advanced Functional Medicine Case series seminar in London. I came away with some clinical pearls and some ‘aha’ moments both around my own dietary challenges and for some complex cases that I have. Three different FM registered practitioners presented their case studies throughout the day and clearly demonstrated how we need to personalise our approach.
Jo Gamble presented a Crohn’s disease case study of a male who was struggling to eat at all and who subsequently had a very low body weight. Jo introduced some protein powders and smoothies initially then moved to a Paleo type diet with lots of functional testing and tailored supplementation. The result, over 18 months, was a down regulation of inflammation and a remission of the disease confirmed by the client’s specialist.
Robyn Puglia presented a case study of a female aged 41 with a history of ME for 25 years. This client was highly sensitive and with a limited budget being as she was unemployed. Key take home points here were the need to make changes very slowly and with limited supplementation due to multiple chemical sensitivities and poor detoxification capacity. Further with respect to outcomes and timeframes, this case was still ongoing 18 months from the first consultation. The client had also been following a ketogenic diet and due to poor liver function (thus making fats difficult to digest) was advised to add back some easily digested carbs and reduce fats. This was a good example of the public following dietary trends without full understanding, as her diet was low in carbs, excluded any fruits and had limited vegetables thus her fibre and phytonutrient levels were non-existent.
In the afternoon, Pete Williams emphasised how important the bottom of the functional matrix is in terms of overall health. He very clearly illustrated the importance of environment; where we live, pollution exposure, green spaces, social interaction and the right kind of exercise to our health outcomes with 3 case studies. He provided an excellent example of a 45-year-old female executive aiming to lose weight with HIIT and a low carb diet. His intervention? He stopped the HIIT, replaced with yoga and walking and reintroduced complex carbs to the diet. The take home message here was that we must remain open minded and flexible and that one size doesn’t fit all in terms of dietary trends. They ended the day with an expert panel of Functional medicine trained practitioners with an open Q&A with the audience.
The important point to make regarding CPD is that it isn’t just an admin requirement to fulfil your BANT renewal every year. It is critical that practitioners seeing clients remain up to date and keep on top of changing research and knowledge.

This recent BMJ paper talks about low gluten diet as a precaution for lowering risk of CVD. The paper is suggesting that avoiding gluten for reasons other than coeliac is counterproductive, as wholegrains are considered cardioprotective and are largely eliminated in a gluten free diet.
Fruits and Vegetable Intake May Reduce Blocked Artery Risk
New research suggests that eating 3 or more portions of fruits and vegetables per day may reduce the risk of developing narrowed arteries in the legs in current or former smokers. Previous studies have shown that people who eat little fruit and vegetables are at higher risk of arterial disease, but this is one of few studies to look at association between increased consumption and reduced risk.
Mindful Eating Linked to Weight Management
Mindful eating may help manage healthy weight. This 15 week study asked participants to practise mindfulness at mealtimes and showed that all participants lost more weight then controls to an average of 1.9 kilos.

Simple Carrot Cake Muffins
|
|
|
|
Please email me your favourite recipes to coriander@cnelm.co.uk and how you came to find them!
By Tracey Raye:
For the muffins:
1.5 cups gf flour mix (gram, oat, rice, buckwheat)*
1 cup almond flour
2.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pink salt
1 cup sweetener**
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp all-spice
½ cup grated carrot
½ cup grated apple
4 flax eggs (1/4 cup ground flax + ¾ cup water [mix & leave to sit for 5 mins])
¾ cup coconut oil (melted) or EVOO
(Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts/pecans/raisins/dates)
For the Date-Cashew Caramel:
1 cup dates (preferably medjool)
1 cup unsalted cashew butter
2 tbsp coconut cream (from the can!, +/- depending on consistency desired)
1 tbsp pink Himalayan salt
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
(Optional: 1 tbsp carob + 1 tbsp maca)
NOTE: You can switch up the grated fruits & veggies you use as long as they make up 1 cup total. Sometimes I like to add in grated Zucchini, pear or even butternut squash for a more Wintery feel.
*I like to make my own combination of gluten-free flour, you can mix things like buckwheat flour, gram (chickpea) flour, brown rice flour, oat flour, coconut flour etc. Be careful with buckwheat & gram as they have a strong earthy flavour. You can also buy pre-made gf flour mixes such as ‘Dove’s Farm’ or ‘General Mill’s’ gf flour blend.
**You can use any sweetener desired
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180C and prepare your muffin pan. I often like to use pre-lined, cardboard muffin cases as they are so quick & easy to use (aka, no muffin pan washing!).
Add your flax & water to a cup, stir well & put to the side.
In a large bowl, add flour, spices, salt, sugar, baking powder & mix with a whisk until well combined & lump-free. Add your grated carrot, apple, raisins & walnuts (if using) & again, stir until well combined.
Make a well in your dry ingredients & add your flax eggs & oil. Fold together until you have a nice smooth batter.
Fill your muffin cases about ¾ of the way (I like to use an ice-cream scoop to make them an even size) & place in your pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown & cooked through. This recipe will make about 10 large, 16-20 medium or 24 mini muffins.
For the icing:
De-stone your dates and soak them in boiling water for 1 hour.
After an hour, remove dates from the water without squeezing out the excess juice & add to your blender – you can also do this in a bowl with a hand blender, just make sure the bowl is deep as the dates love to spit!
Blend your dates, adding some of the date liquid as necessary until you have a thick, rich date puree. Add the cashew butter, salt, vanilla & coconut cream and continue to blend until smooth & creamy, but still thick! If you are using carob & maca, add now and blend. You can add more or less coconut cream/maca/carob depending on how thick or smooth you like.
Allow the icing to sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Once the muffins are cool, you can pipe your icing onto the muffins using a piping or zip-lock bag. You can also simply spread using a knife or spoon.
Enjoy!
