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.

Plugging the gaps of traditional medicine with lifestyle healthcare. 

As wellness science has advanced over the past decade, traditional healthcare has struggled to keep pace with Nutrition Science for chronic conditions — leaving many patients feeling unheard, frustrated, or stuck.

For us, lifestyle healthcare begins with investigation. Progress comes from understanding the underlying drivers of symptoms, which is why our approach centres around understanding the whole what makes you you, including diet, lifestyle, sleep, gut health and systemic inflammation. We listen to your story, the latest science, connecting the dots with what we know about how the body should work.

We all want our lives to be fulfilling and easy, and in our view, plugging the gap with pharmaceuticals are rarely an adequate answer to true wellness.

During my decade of helping professionals recover from digestive symptoms, I uncovered and began to map out the incredible relationship between the Gut and the Brain and Nervous system - and how this interacts with our immune system and inflammation. This sparked a passion, and area of focus for most of my research today.

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.

Our Method

  • 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.
