PERSONALISED NUTRITION AND LIFESTYLE SUPPORT
Tired of feeling constantly drained, having poor quality sleep, suffering from niggling digestive issues, low mood or just generally never feeling 100%? Trust me, I have been there myself so can relate. Together we will identify areas of your diet and lifestyle that may be contributing to your health concerns and develop simple yet effective strategies so that can take back control of your life and flourish.
WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL THERAPY?
Nutritional therapy is the application of nutritional science to promote optimal health, peak performance and self-care. As a registered Nutritional Therapist, I offer bespoke nutritional and lifestyle advice using evidence-based research. During our initial consultation, I will look to identify the root cause of your ongoing health concern and develop a personalised health plan, that is achievable but specific to your particular circumstances, to support you in achieving your health goals.
WHAT IS NUTRIGENOMIC TESTING?
Nutrigenomics is the study of interactions between genes, nutrients and health. A nutrigenomics test examines DNA from a simple mouth swab to identify genetic variants that may impact your health, but, that most importantly can be supported by nutritional and lifestyle changes. Nutrigenomic testing enables a preventative, personalised, and proactive approach to health. The results can inform everyday decisions such as adding specific foods or, in certain circumstances, eliminating some rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
I use a UK-based Nutrigenomics company that offers a range of DNA panels which help my clients understand their genetics in relation to metabolic health, methylation and detoxification, histamine intolerance and neurotransmitter, sex hormone and thyroid hormone balance.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before our first consultation, you'll be sent a health questionnaire so that I have an understanding of your health concerns in advance of meeting you. We'll discuss this in more detail during our first consultation where I'll develop a bespoke health optimisation plan targeting your key symptoms and desired health goals. This is a collaborative process to ensure the plan is realistic and achievable for you based on your current health. We'll continue to build on this in subsequent sessions so that healthy eating gradually becomes a sustainable part of your daily life. All consultations are carried out online so you can speak to me from the comfort of your own home.
I passionately believe that food should be a pleasure and focus on adding to your current diet rather than stripping things out. I don't support restrictive eating patterns and believe that the more diversity we can incorporate into our diet, especially plant-based foods, the better for our overall well-being. As my approach is food-first I only recommend supplements where it isn't possible to achieve an optimal intake from your diet alone.
There may also be occasions where I recommend specific tests to support you in achieving your health goals such as nutrigenomic testing. As a member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, I will work alongside your GP to support your well-being but I do not diagnose disease. Any recommendations are never intended as a replacement for medical advice but instead to complement your current medical care.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Each week Gemma gave me some really interesting information and not always what I would have been expecting. We covered areas that were not always food-related but gut/body/mind connection and how everything works in conjunction and impacts one other. Once I had this information it was so much easier to see how my lifestyle and day-to-day stress had such a negative impact. Gemma also advised what my body was lacking and required to help alleviate the issues I was experiencing, some of which I had been experiencing for quite some time. She was very knowledgeable and able to translate this knowledge into simple terms so that I could easily understand and bring it into my day-to-day life. I followed everything she advised and can honestly say that I feel so much better, with the symptoms I wanted to address now a thing of the past! Thanks so much Gemma, you really have made a huge difference to my life.
