General education

This website and its guides provide general information. They do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. Content has not been independently clinically reviewed. Do not use it to replace advice from a qualified clinician or registered dietitian.

A pattern, not a prescription

We describe a Nordic way of eating adapted for a UK kitchen. Traditional Nordic diets differ between countries and households, and research into a particular Nordic or “Baltic Sea” dietary pattern does not prove that every adaptation has the same effects. We do not guarantee weight loss, remission, a cure or a particular result.

Medicines and individual needs

Speak with your healthcare team before making substantial changes to how you eat, particularly if you take medication for diabetes or blood pressure. Do not stop or adjust prescribed treatment yourself. Seek individual advice for pregnancy, an eating disorder, kidney disease, coeliac disease, food allergies or other circumstances that affect your diet. Rye, barley and oats are not suitable for everyone; rye and barley contain gluten.

Meal ideas and food safety

Meal ideas are not nutritionally analysed prescriptions. Adjust portions to your needs, check allergen labels and follow current food safety advice. Illustrations on this site are drawings, not photographs of prepared meals, and are not proof of outcomes.

Urgent help

The website is not an urgent medical service. In a UK emergency call 999. For urgent medical advice, use NHS 111 or the appropriate local service.

Sources and corrections

We link evidence where relevant and distinguish it from practical suggestions. Please use the contact page to raise a correction.
