Ai Britton RD

 

  • My name is Ai Britton and I am a UK Registered Diabetes Specialist Dietitian based in London.  My career has always been in the specialist field of diabetes, weight management and cardiovascular disease since 2013 in the NHS as well as the private sector and charities across central and Greater London. My passion is to help treat people with type 2 diabetes, whether newly diagnosed or long-standing, as well as prevent diabetes (those with prediabetes) and help people achieve diabetes remission.  I have helped very many clients achieve what they set out to achieve.  

    Recently I am involved in delivering global webinars on various health topics such as heart health, cancer, weight management and cardiovascular disease to corporate employees of big companies such as Glaxosmith Kline and TELUS Health worldwide.

    In 2022 I was selected to help tweak recipes and use food photography for Birmingham Council in the ‘Cook the Commonwealth’ project in line with the Commonwealth Games.

    I also have experience with menu reconstruction for care homes and charitable organisations and treating many other conditions such as cardiovascular disease (and in cardiac rehabilitation), liver conditions, different aspect of women’s health and more.

    I believe there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to achieving balance in diet and lifestyle. As a Dietitian trained in clinical and sports nutrition, as well as a Reformer Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer, I strongly value an individualised approach, tailoring support to suit each person’s unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. 

  • Dietitians are the only qualified and regulated health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level.  The title ‘dietitian’ is the only food and nutrition title that is protected by law.  All dietitians are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the role of the HCPC is to protect the public.  We use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which we translate into practical guidance to help people make appropriate lifestyle and dietary choices.
