How can I support you ?
Stronger for longerMany of the changes we associate with ageing, such as loss of strength, reduced energy and slower recovery, are not simply an inevitable part of getting older. The foods you eat play a key role in maintaining muscle, supporting bone health and helping you stay active and independent for longer.A personalised dietary analysis can help you understand whether your current diet is providing the nutrients needed for healthy ageing. I prepare clear, evidence-based recommendations tailored to you, helping you make informed choices that support your health, wellbeing and quality of life for years to come.
Find out what your diet may be missing, and how to put it right.
You keep a 3-day food diary, and I analyse it in detail. We talk it through at a video or phone appointment. I then send you a personal report on what’s working, what’s missing and simple ways to add it in.
Gut health
Answers for the everyday gut niggles.
Constipation, bloating, reflux, feeling full too quickly or struggling to keep weight on? The right food can make a real difference. I’ll look at what you eat and give you simple, practical changes to try, including the low FODMAP diet for IBS.
Choose Gut health on the booking page and tell me on your form what’s bothering you.Please see your GP first if you have blood in your poo, weight loss you can’t explain, a change in bowel habits lasting more than three weeks, difficulty swallowing, frequent sickness, or new symptoms that are getting worse.
Weight management
If you’ve been prescribed weight-loss medication, eating well can be harder than expected: a smaller appetite, feeling sick, and not knowing what to cook. I’ll build you a 4-week meal plan around the foods you like, with recipes and a weekly shopping list, and make sure you get enough protein to protect your muscle strength. Your plan is ready before your video appointment, where we go through it together.Choose a single 4-week plan, or an 8 or 12-week programme with a short review before each new plan. As your dose changes, your appetite and needs change too, so a programme keeps your plan in step with you.I don’t prescribe or supply any medication. Your prescription stays with your GP or prescriber, and this service works alongside their care.

Privacy Notice
Blue Sky Dietitian – Privacy notice
Last updated: November 2026This notice explains what information I collect about you, why I need it, how I keep it safe and what your rights are.
Who I am
I am Nicole Madden, a registered dietitian, trading as Blue Sky Dietitian. I am responsible for the personal information you give me.
• Email: [email protected]
What information I collect
• Your name, date of birth, contact details and GP details
• Your sex, height and weight
• Health information: medical conditions, medicines (including weight-loss medication and dose), symptoms, allergies and intolerances
• What you eat and drink, your food likes and dislikes, cooking, budget and household
• Notes from our appointments, and the plans and reports I write for you
• Booking and payment details
Health information is "special category" data, and I take extra care with it.
Why I use it
I use your information to provide the service you have booked: your personalised meal plan or diet report, your appointments and any follow-up. I also use your contact details to arrange appointments and send you your plan.
My legal basis
• Providing the service you have booked with me (contract).
• For health information: providing health care by a health professional who owes you a duty of confidentiality.
I will not use your information for marketing unless you have asked me to.
How I use an AI tool
I use an AI tool (Claude, made by Anthropic) to help me draft your meal plan or diet report. I enter only a code in place of your name, never your name, address, date of birth or contact details. I enter an age band (not your exact age), your sex, your weight and the health and food details needed for your plan. I have switched off the setting that lets the provider use conversations to train its models, and I delete each conversation once your plan is finished. I check and amend every plan myself before it is sent to you. No decisions about you are made by a computer.
If you would prefer me not to use an AI tool for your plan, please tell me when you book and I will prepare it without one.
Who else sees your information
• WriteUpp: my client records, booking, payments and video appointment system. Your records are stored in the UK.
• Anthropic (Claude): coded information only, as described above.
• Google (Gmail): if we email each other.
I do not sell or share your information with anyone else. I would share it with your GP or another professional only with your agreement, unless I am required by law or there is a serious risk to your safety or someone else's.
Information stored outside the UK
Anthropic and Google may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, the providers use legal safeguards approved under UK data protection law.
How long I keep it
Client records: kept for 8 years after our last contact, in line with guidance for adult health records, then securely deleted. If I close my practice before then, I will either keep your records securely until that time or securely delete them.
• AI conversations: deleted once your plan is finished.
Your rights
You have the right to:
• ask for a copy of the information I hold about you
• ask me to correct anything that is wrong
• ask me to delete your information (I may need to keep health records for the period above)
• ask me to limit how I use it, or object to how I use it
To make a request, email [email protected]. I will reply within one month. There is no charge.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how I have used your information, please contact me first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113. Blue Sky Dietitian is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Registration number: ZC290479.
