Specialist Registered Dietitian

Gastroenterology | Sports Nutrition | Behaviour Change

April Valenzuela is a Specialist Registered Dietitian with clinical experience in the NHS and expertise spanning gastroenterology, sports nutrition, mental health and behaviour change. She combines rigorous scientific knowledge with a highly personalised approach, helping clients use nutrition strategically to support long-term health, vitality and performance.

April believes exceptional nutrition care begins with understanding the individual, not simply the symptoms or numbers. She takes the time to understand each client’s health, lifestyle, preferences and goals before translating complex nutrition science into a clear, practical and sustainable plan. Her approach is evidence-based yet highly individualised, with a focus on meaningful changes that can be integrated into everyday life.

With a background as an NHS Specialist Gastroenterology Dietitian and experience working with Team GB athletes, April brings a breadth of clinical and performance nutrition expertise. She holds a First Class Master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Nottingham, a Postgraduate Certificate in Sport and Exercise Nutrition and is a graduate registrant with the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR). She is HCPC-registered and a member of the British Dietetic Association, has contributed to university teaching as a guest lecturer, and holds UK Anti-Doping Clean Sport certification.

April’s philosophy is simple: nutrition should not be about short-term fixes or unnecessary restriction, but about making evidence-based choices that enable you to feel, perform and age at your best.
