BANT members combine a network approach to complex systems, incorporating the latest science from genetic, epigenetic, diet and nutrition research to inform individualised recommendations. BANT oversees the activities, training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of its members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registered Nutritional Therapists are regulated by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) that holds an Accredited Voluntary Register (AVR) for the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA). A report by the Royal Society for Public Health and the Professional Standards Agency made a key recommendation that AVR practitioners have the authority to make direct NHS referrals, in appropriate cases, to ease the administrative burden on GP surgeries. BANT nutrition practitioners are the key workforce asset to harness 21st-century lifestyle medicine to tackle the rising tide of stress-related fatigue, obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, dementia and other chronic diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find a BANT nutrition practitioner, please click\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/practitioner-search.bant.org.uk\/\"><b>here<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>BANT WELLBEING GUIDELINES:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-21082 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BANT_-WELLNESS-SOLUTION-IMAGE_2022-Resized-Web-Homepage-1-596x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"\/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BANT_-WELLNESS-SOLUTION-IMAGE_2022-Resized-Web-Homepage-1-596x400.jpg 596w, \/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BANT_-WELLNESS-SOLUTION-IMAGE_2022-Resized-Web-Homepage-1-1170x785.jpg 1170w, \/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BANT_-WELLNESS-SOLUTION-IMAGE_2022-Resized-Web-Homepage-1-768x515.jpg 768w, \/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BANT_-WELLNESS-SOLUTION-IMAGE_2022-Resized-Web-Homepage-1-700x470.jpg 700w, \/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/BANT_-WELLNESS-SOLUTION-IMAGE_2022-Resized-Web-Homepage-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/>The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bant.org.uk\/bant-wellbeing-guidelines\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BANT Wellbeing Guidelines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are specifically designed to provide clear, easy-to-understand general information for healthy diet and lifestyle when personalised advice is not available.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/WELLNESS-SOLUTION.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THE WELLNESS SOLUTION<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bant.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FIGHT-THE-FAT.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FIGHT THE FAT \/ BEAT THE BLOAT (WEIGHT LOSS)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside these guidelines, the BANT \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bant.org.uk\/food-for-your-health\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food for your Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d free open-access resources are available to educate and guide the public towards healthier food choices in the prevention of diet-induced disease.
