Understanding the foods that agree with your gut and the ones that don't is essential for your digestive health, as well as knowing other factors in your life that are impacting it. Using a Functional medicine approach, we identify and improve areas of your nutrition and lifestyle to support your digestive health
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Friendly foods for you
I assess the origins of your symptoms by analysing your food diary to see what nutrients are lacking in your diet, as well as the foods that contributing to your gut issues.​ We then design a specific nutrition and lifestyle plan for you to restore optimal gut health and digestive function. This may include a supplement plan to replenish missing essential nutrients.

LIFESTYLE COACHING
Your health. Your choice.
It is possible that your lifestyle is affecting your gut, after all 70% of our immune system resides in it!
The brain-gut axis is a communication system linking the gut and the brain that influences intestinal activities such as immune function cognitive activities such as mood and mental health.
Anxiety, depression, emotional stress, sleep problems and autism all have well-established links to disruptions of the gut microbiome.
