Wendy Smith is a qualified nutritional therapist practising in London, SE3 and London W1. She trained initially at the Institute of Optimum Nutrition in Putney and thereafter gained an honours degree in nutritional therapy from the University of Westminster. She is a fully insured member of the British Association of Nutritional Therapists (BANT) and an associate member of the British Society for Allergy and Environmental Medicine.

Wendy's interest in health and nutrition developed over 20 years ago. She has a passion for food - growing it, cooking it, eating it or helping others to achieve optimal health through diet. Wendy believes that our own wellbeing is greatly dependent on the health of the environment and that the environment we have created for ourselves is making us ill. We are faced with mineral-depleted soils, pesticide accumulation, polluted land and waters, antibiotic resistance, and highly processed foods full of chemicals and devoid of nutrients. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, infertility, ADHD and hormonal cancers are all on the increase.

Wendy believes that many of today's chronic illnesses are preventable with good nutrition and practises nutritional therapy because she believes in addressing the underlying cause of disease and preventing ill-health wherever possible.
