Nutrition

At Skin Solutions we believe nutrition is the cornerstone of ageless ageing and radiant skin health. Therefore, all clients who come for a full skincare consultation with Tamara Double will be asked about their diet and will receive nutritional advice where appropriate. To support our clients’ nutritional needs we offer the Patrick Holford Advanced Nutrition Programme, with the Online Health Report and the Yorktest Food Intolerance Test, as well as the CosMedix range of nutritional supplements.

Advanced Nutrition Programme

The availability of nutrients in food today requires that we supplement even healthy diets with reliable nutreceuticals. The range of nutritional supplements in the Advanced Nutrition Programme is designed to provide the optimum daily amounts of a range of vitamins, minerals and other vital elements required for vibrant health.

Trusted for quality and quantity of dosage and using the finest ingredients, the Advanced Nutrition Programme range has been formulated by Patrick Holford who has more than 30 years experience in nutrition and research into the effects of nutrients on our health.

To take the guesswork and potential confusion out of creating your own personal daily programme, Patrick Holford has created the Advanced Nutrition Programme AM and PM packs. These supplements act as the ideal daily platform to which, if necessary, you can add further nutrients from the range to address any specific concerns you may have such as painful joints, poor digestion or low energy.

The creators of the Advanced Nutrition Programme are committed to including ingredients that offer the best absorption and bioavailability. Further quality assurance is conducted by the Department of Chemistry, University of Surrey.

As an example, the Omega 3 Fish Oil is scrupulously screened for PCBs and other pollutants to ensure maximum purity – you will not find a purer fish oil. This approach is extended to all products in the range to ensure supplements of the highest quality and purity.

Choosing the right supplement

This is the first time Patrick Holford has created a range that is available only through professionals in salons and clinics. This means that you can receive information and advice on the Advanced Nutrition Programme from staff who have been trained by Institute of Optimum Nutrition (ION) tutors, such as Tamara Double, who is a qualified Nutrition Technician, and regularly attends courses and conferences organised by the International Institute for Anti-Ageing (iiaa), of which Patrick Holford is a founder.

Good nutrition goes beyond mere supplements, and as a further source of information ION trained Professional Nutritionists can be available to you through Skin Solutions to give in-depth clinic-based consultations. These would include even more detailed, individual advice about nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes that can improve your general health. Where necessary, various tests can be carried out including those for homocysteine levels, food intolerances and allergies. 

Also through Skin Solutions you can receive exclusive on-line nutrition consulting, which has been refined by research involving 100,000 individual profiles, in the privacy of your own home. These on-line consultations start with a comprehensive questionnaire and include a full interpretation of all aspects of your individual lifestyle and dietary habits. The printable report contains vital information about how to improve your health and vitality and can be brought back to Tamara Double for further help and advice on implementing its recommended changes, free of charge with your On-Line Health Report purchase (£29.95 for 2 separate reports).
