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 each client’s nutritional needs, lifestyle and history, environment, movement, sleep and stress management. I help people to feel better by getting to the root cause of 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 with my clients, at a pace that is personalised and manageable. An avid wild swimmer, I also know the power of health-giving activities in everyday life.
With fun, flexible cooking and lifestyle tips, 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 by undertaking lab testing to help identify key markers in your body. This may involve simple blood tests, or wider ranging digestive health, hormonal or nutrient tests. Invivo, Regenerus and Medichecks are some of the companies I work with; my choice of tests will always be chosen relative to your specific needs. I guide you through the test ordering and practicalities and will evaluate and report on results, incorporating them into your personalised nutritional protocol in ways that are easy to understand and implement.
