we don’t believe in pharma as the answer to wellbeing.
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. I strongly believe that life is for pleasure, belonging and fulfilment, and that can only be achieved when true health & wellness is pursued, when imbalances corrected at the core.
What sparked the interest in digestion & inflammation?
The interest in nutrition began over 35 years ago, giving me a broad and practical understanding of the evolving impact of food and diets across the decades. This places me in a unique position to advise both clients and less experienced nutritionists with insight and confidence.
Having helped hundreds of women transform their lives over the last two decades, I made a discovery that was to transform how I work. I uncovered most inflammation is driven by an imbalance in gut and metabolism, and this inflammation is behind both chronic pain and brain dysfunction - as well as degeneration and other serious diseases. Insulin resistance, isn’t just a pre-diabetic condition, it starts far earlier than that, with symptoms like weight gain, cravings for the wrong food, often followed by high cholesterol, reoccurring back or joint issues, brain-fog, fatigue and much more.
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 raining & 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 divides her 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.

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.
