Nutrition FAQs

What will a nutritionist ask me?
There is no level of conditioning required to start benefiting from personal training. Marek has conditioned world champion athletes and members of the general public who have been sedentary for many years. In any case, a good personal trainer will always give due thought to the current capabilities of new clients and design a program accordingly; Marek will always treat each client as the individual they are, regardless of their aims, at both Basingstoke and London locations.

What sort of changes is a nutritionist likely to suggest?
Any good nutritionist should be looking beyond simply the food that a client consumes. Nutritional therapy rightfully puts diet at the forefront of any regime, but this should always be supported by lifestyle changes that effect conditions within each cell - such changes may be aimed at improving sleep or making more time for quality sleep, avoidance of homeostasis disruptors like alcohol and stimulants, and a change in cooking methods when appropriate. Exposure to traffic fumes, a potent issue for anyone living in London, is also another example of issues considered.

My schedule is very busy and I'm not sure I have time to make any changes to my routine. Is it worthwhile me seeing a nutritionist?
Definitely. Generally, those will busy schedules are most guilty of crimes against their health and waistline in the form of poor quality food and a nutrient blackout. Busy, stressed-out individuals could benefit more than most from seeing a nutritionist as balancing blood sugar levels and improved sleep will make a big difference to any individual's health and efficiency. In any case, if you are not prepared to make a little bit of time for healthy eating, you had best make a lot of time for illness!

Does seeing a nutritionist mean eating organic?
Organic food that has been grown on mineral-rich soil is the closest thing to the food that we have evolved on and no knowledgable nutritionist is likely to argue as to the benefit of eating this way. However, the artificial food chain in the UK is not currently set up to make eating organic an option for all and Marek has achieved very pleasing results time and time again with clients eating so-called conventional food.

Marek is an elite nutritionist London and offers the same level of service whether seeing clients from the London clinic in Kings Road, Chelsea (5 mins from South Kensington) or the Basingstoke clinic.
