Meet Linda Albinsson, founder of Advanced Nutrition

Why I founded Advanced Nutrition.

About Linda, Founder of Advanced Nutrition.

I’ve always felt the passion to work in healthcare, but the conventional model—focused primarily on treating symptoms —never sat well with my values.

Why our healthcare method is unique

Chronic disease falls through the gaps in traditional medicine - currently unable to keep up with all the lifestyle wellness discoveries of this age that we all see around us. We all know it’s a noisy & confusing space, but by being extremely clear on what your much deeper underlying imbalances are, we can get you the right test and diet - from the start. I’ve personally trained and researched how to understand how to do this for two decades, and now lecture the next generation Nutritionist students my method at university level.

Our Method

Our method is based on ‘systems-biology’ - the principles of Functional Medicine. It is the science of understanding body weakness and gaps, and the direct impact on body systems (e.g digesting food, manage your nervous system brain feedback, and its interaction with immune system dysfunction).

We consider the whole of you. The impact of stress or even early life trauma, your rounds of antibiotics, or unique genetics - which all combine to create the version of health that you are today. We could ignore all that and suppress your symptoms with uppers, downers or by switching things off (like say statins or omeprazole) - but it rarely brings the person a sense of wellness or resilience. It doesn’t suppress the underlying fire of inflammation - and It won’t work forever. When it next re-surfaces, you may see a new problem.

Nutrition is as much about understanding where the gaps are. The particular interest in inflammation arose from my decades helping professionals overcome digestive issues and sluggish metabolism. I found how connected these two imbalances were with inflammation, and how this impacted our brain, pain and so on. Almost all disease starts with fatigue, pain and depression.

Why ‘Advanced’? 

It has always been paramount to me to learn the facts, not fads. Our Team shares a passion for both professionalism and people, and we only hire people with highly professional backgrounds. 

My training & Professional  Experience

With over 20 years experience in private practice, I have demonstrated experience working with high-end & professional clients. Pre-pandemic, my clinic was situated on Harley Street, where I trained with the renowned GP Dr. Mouton. Today, I divide my time between leading a team of innovative industry leading practitioners, private clients, collaborating with GPs & lecturing & mentoring the next generation of nutritionists at UWL.

I previously served on BANT’s Professional Practice Committee and hold a BSc degree in Nutritional Science from CNELM, Europe’s leading training provider in Personalised Nutrition & Functional Medicine. In addition, I hold Advanced Gastrointestinal Practitioner training from the founding Institute for Functional Medicine in the US.

discover how we're different

  • This depends how ‘deeply’ you want us to work with you. One session will review your diet, identify any gaps or mistakes, and give you list of things to change, helpful tips & supplements.

    If you want to work on more complex health issues and want long term resolve however, we might work together for 3-5months. You can choose how much handholding support you need, with either weekly or monthly sessions.

  • This depends on your goals and preferences: We’ll work through a program step by step, which will include diet & supplements, talking through challenges, diet reviews, testing and at home sugar/metabolism measurement. We’ll also include accountability tasks, if this is what you want.

  • We see most of our clients either biweekly or monthly, depending on how much handholding and help with implementation they need.

  • We’re highly professional individuals & degree qualified Nutritionist, and our Functional Medicine expertise speaks for itself. We’re outcome focussed, particularly helping you with the element of implementation, in the real life scenario.

    Where we really differ however, is our unrivalled understanding in being able to translate your health case & test results into understanding what it is that’s causing your health issues.

    You don’t have to buy into templated long-term packages, instead will make bespoke recommendations of what you need in your particular case.

  • It’s a method Practitioners use to understand what, and how, bodywide ‘weaknesses or imbalances’ in function can trigger uncomfortable symptoms. When body-systems or organs work optimally, we simply feel better. Once we have an understanding around what’s going on, we can correct the diet, lifestyle and apply natural remedies to re-balance.
