Brenda has 13 years of clinical experience as a Registered Dietitian. Brenda's experience of working for NHS services as lead weight management dietitian and specialist gastro dietitian led her to develop skills in allergy, eating disorders and mental health. Patients frequently query whether their symptoms are disease, allergy or intolerance; and question eating for health, understandably these concerns may affect mental health, whether it was due to the burden of the condition or contributing to the condition. She currently works mostly privately and also works part-time as a specialist allergy adult dietitian for an NHS Trust.
