Nutrition as Science

Nutritional therapy utilises the latest nutrition science. It is a complementary healthcare practice and works alongside any current conventional medical support you may be receiving. 

Holistic Approach

My approach is holistic, considering your unique nutritional needs, lifestyle and history, environment, movement, sleep and stress management. I help you to feel better by getting to the root cause of your symptoms and offer tailored food and behavioural strategies, alongside, where necessary, lab testing and therapeutic supplementation. 

Food First

As a chef and recipe developer, I believe food should be a source of joy, not just nourishment. I take a food first approach, at a pace that is personalised and manageable for you. An avid wild swimmer, I also know the power of health-giving activities in everyday life. 

With fun, flexible cooking and lifestyle tips, product recommendations and any meal plans and recipes you need, I support you to look after yourself in a natural, enjoyable, and truly fulfilling way.

Supplements

Therapeutic supplementation is different to just taking a shop-bought supplement. For some conditions and health goals, it is not necessary, but for others, there is scientific evidence to show that targeted, usually short-term use of specific supplements may support an improvement in symptoms and wellbeing. They can contribute to shifting imbalances in the body to assist your aim of feeling better, whilst adjusting to new food habits. Throughout my training (current and always ongoing), I only recommend supplementation where this evidence can be shown. I use specific, lab tested brands that I know and trust, tailored to your budget and needs.

Lab testing

The way I work, using functional medical methods to create a whole body view of your symptoms, potential imbalances and root causes may be supported in some cases by undertaking lab testing to help identify key markers in your body. This may involve simple blood tests (some of these can be done by your GP - I can work with them and support you in which ones may be most useful and how to request these), or wider ranging digestive health, hormonal or nutrient tests. My choice of tests will always be chosen relative to your specific needs. I guide you through any test ordering and practicalities and evaluate and report on any results, incorporating them into your personalised nutritional protocol in ways that are easy to understand and implement.
