Dietitian Northern Ireland
Embarking on a journey towards better health and nutrition can often feel daunting, especially when navigating the sea of conflicting information and fad diets. This is where the expertise of a qualified dietician becomes invaluable. In Northern Ireland, one name stands out in the field of dietetics – Gillian Killiner, the founder of 121 Dietitian.
Established in 2008, 121 Dietitian has been a beacon of reliable, tailored nutritional advice, not just in Belfast but globally. Gillian Killiner, with her extensive experience in the NHS as a specialist dietician, realised the gap in offering bespoke personalised dietary advice to patients and businesses, aiming to improve their health and well-being.
The ethos of 121 Dietitian is grounded in providing bespoke, tailored advice. In a world where fad diets and inaccurate information are rampant, Gillian Killiner and her team stand out for their commitment to evidence-based, individualized care. They acknowledge how various factors, including dietary, health, economic, and well-being concerns, affect each individual. Their services are not just confined to Belfast; they extend worldwide, recognised for their innovative approach as early as 2010.
The range of services at 121 Dietitian is comprehensive, covering areas such as hormonal imbalances, female health, disordered eating, resistant weight loss, sports nutrition, gut health, diabetes and more. They also specialize in nutrigenomics, which combines nutrition and genetics, to tailor diet plans that fit an individual’s unique needs.
But why choose 121 Dietitian? Their approach is not just about deciphering good nutrition from bad; it’s about understanding and addressing health issues from a cellular level. Gillian Killiner herself has overcome chronic illness using a blend of medical and nutritional knowledge, underscoring the effectiveness of their methods.
Beyond just health advice, 121 Dietitian also focuses on practical aspects like cost-effective healthy shopping, offering lunch ideas, and convenient recipes. This holistic approach ensures that clients are not just healthier but also economically better off.
Gillian Killiner’s background is extensive. She grew up and studied in London, securing a prestigious research post in Nutrition and Heart Disease with the World Health Organisation (WHO). She also held a research post at Ulster University during the Covid pandemic. Her career, which spans across various hospitals in Northern Ireland, specialising in respiratory, cancer, and haematology, adds to her depth of experience.
After starting a family in Northern Ireland, Gillian set up her Dietetic Consultancy Service in Belfast, blending her extensive knowledge with her personal life. This service offers both local face-to-face consultations and worldwide services, demonstrating its versatility and reach.
Gillian’s personal experiences also contribute to her empathetic approach. Having a mother diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and battling and overcoming Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune thyroid condition, herself, she understands the challenges people face in their lives. This personal journey of putting her condition into remission, both medically and nutritionally, has enabled her to guide others effectively.
Moreover, 121 Dietitian is environmentally conscious. By using a paperless system and offering online consultations, they not only make their services more accessible but also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint, benefiting the environment alongside their clients.
