What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is a holistic and personalised approach to nutrition and lifestyle. Rather than starting with a standard set of food rules, we start with you: your health history, the concerns you’ve brought, how you eat and live, and what you’d like to change.
I look at the whole picture, exploring how factors such as digestion, hormones, nutrient levels, sleep and stress may be connected, and whether an underlying imbalance could be contributing to how you feel. We’ll use what we learn to choose targeted, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle changes that fit your life. Your plan may also include carefully selected supplements.
Where appropriate, functional testing can offer additional insights into your individual biology and help us tailor your plan more closely. It’s something we would decide on together, rather than a requirement for working with me.
If you’re already receiving care from a GP, dietitian or another healthcare professional, nutritional therapy can work alongside it. Our time together gives us space to turn nutrition and lifestyle advice into a practical plan built around you.
Why might this be relevant to me?
There’s no single reason to seek nutritional therapy. You might have a specific concern, be navigating a life change, or simply want help working out which advice is right for you. Here are a few reasons women come to me.
Feeling out of sorts
You’re dealing with digestive symptoms, low energy, skin concerns, unexpected weight changes or changes in your cycle, and would like someone to look at the whole picture with you.
You’ve tried cutting out foods or following advice online, but would welcome a plan that feels less confusing and more manageable.
Pregnancy
You’d like help making sense of nutrition advice as your needs change.
You’re looking for practical ways to nourish yourself while managing pregnancy symptoms or a concern such as gestational diabetes, alongside your maternity team.
Nutrition support alongside medical care
You’re managing a condition such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or high cholesterol, and would like personalised nutrition and lifestyle guidance alongside your medical treatment.
You’re taking GLP-1 medication and would like help nourishing yourself well as your appetite changes, while your prescribing clinician continues to manage the medication.
Postpartum and family life
You’re preparing for the fourth trimester or would like support with your own nutrition and recovery after birth.
You’re breastfeeding, finding little time to look after yourself, or looking for nutrition guidance for your child or family.
Preconception and fertility
You’re thinking about pregnancy and want personalised guidance on nutrition and lifestyle as you prepare.
You’re navigating fertility treatment or living with a condition such as PCOS or endometriosis, and would like support alongside your medical care.
Perimenopause and menopause
Changes in your cycle, sleep, energy, or mood have left you wondering what’s going on.
You’d like to review your nutrition and lifestyle in a way that reflects your symptoms, priorities and daily life.
