Get in touchWhat is nutritionists insurance?
Nutritionists insurance is a specialist policy that protects nutrition professionals from the risks of providing dietary advice, creating meal plans and recommending supplements to clients. It typically includes professional indemnity and public liability.
If a client claims your dietary advice caused them a health problem, triggered an allergic reaction, or was inappropriate for their medical condition, professional indemnity covers the resulting claim.
