Nutrition, Functional Medicine & DNA Testing

Nutrition is the foundation of health, so why were we not taught this at school or by our doctors? The foods we eat provide not only energy but also information to every cell in the body. Through nutrition we can prevent illness, restore vitality, and support emotional and mental wellbeing.

I integrate nutrition with the principles of functional medicine, which looks at the body as a whole, interconnected system. Instead of suppressing symptoms, we explore the root causes - whether that’s imbalances in digestion, inflammation, detoxification, or nutrient deficiencies. This process helps uncover why health concerns arise and how to restore balance naturally.

A unique aspect of my work is the use of DNA testing. Genetic reports highlight where an individual may have inherited strengths or vulnerabilities, particularly in areas such as detoxification, methylation, metabolism, mood, and stress resilience. When we combine genetic insights with functional tests and nutritional strategies, we can create highly personalised plans to optimise wellbeing.

This approach is especially powerful in preventing and addressing chronic disease, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalance, and mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. By understanding both our biochemistry and our genetics, we are better able to work with the body rather than against it.

Every person I work with is different - there is no “one size fits all.” Together we develop a strategy that is practical, evidence-based, and sustainable, aiming not only to treat illness but to promote long-term vitality, clarity, and resilience.

My areas of focus span the entire spectrum of health from fertility to preventing cognitive decline. You will be surprised how much choice and power we actually do have. I also have a great deal of experience supporting families with a member who is struggling with difficulties with their neurodiversity. I am right there.
