Jennifer, Edinburgh

"I am vegetarian and had issues of getting a good balance of nutrition in my diet. I had problems with my blood iron levels and sought advice and a nutritional plan through Your Nutrition Site.

And I have to say it was one of the best things I could have done, the advice given was thorough, but also explained well as to what changes I should make and what the benefits would be. Simple things like, drinking orange juice with an iron-rich meal can help your body absorb the iron!

The initial small steps I took in changing my diet have had a dramatic impact on my concentration levels and also my sleep, which had previously been affecting my day to day life.

I would recommend Your Nutrition Site as they gave such good advice, I no longer need to take supplements, i'm now eating nutritional and tasty foods and feeling all the better for it."
