How I Work

My goal is always to identify and address the root causes of illness (not just treat the symptoms), and that’s why I use Functional Medicine – a model which has been shown to produce better outcomes for patients (1).

I use my knowledge of biochemistry and physiology in conjunction with an understanding of human evolution to recommend a personalised diet and lifestyle plan for each client.

I specialise in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and skin health, and work with those who’s typical symptoms include:

• Unrelenting or general fatigue

• Acne or other skin problems such as rashes, redness, eczema, psoriasis or rosacea

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep

• Unexplained weight gain or loss

• Headaches and migraines

• Constipation

• Diarrhoea

• Bloating

• Indigestion

• Acid reflux

• Nausea

• Bad breath (halitosis)

• Stomach pain

• Food sensitivities/ intolerances

• Mild cognitive impairment (“Brain fog”) - problems thinking, remembering or concentrating

• Anxiety

• Depression

My clients have often been diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”), however, it’s possible to identify (using the appropriate functional testing) several distinct clinical conditions that can then be treated, and this is my approach.

I also work with those who want to maximise their healthspan by making general improvements to their diet and lifestyle, and these clients often experience improved skin or a reduction in body fat as a by-product.

I combine the functional medicine model with the techniques I have used in my coaching career to provide the on-going support clients need to make lasting changes that support optimum long-term health and wellbeing.

My goal is to help people who are going through a similar struggle to the one I went through, and try to prevent years of unnecessary suffering, and I believe that with the right understanding and the right support, people can transform their lives.
