WHY ENERGY NUTRITION?
Energy is at the heart of nutrition.
Humans eat to harness the energy of the sun, because we can't perform photosynthesis, like plants do. So we eat plants, or animals who eat plants.
Improving energy levels is also the number one reason to seek the help of a nutritionist in the UK.
Weight loss is #2, almost head to head with managing existing health conditions (#3) such as functional disorders (like type 2 diabetes), some autoimmune conditions (like type 1 diabetes), transient hormonal changes (puberty, menopause) or specific make-ups such as hypermobility or neurodiversity (whether suspected or diagnosed) with nutritional and lifestyle changes, aka "bio-hacking".
Importantly, nutritional therapy provides personalised, tailor-made advice instead of recommendations designed for the general population.
It encompasses lifestyle recommendations, some unrelated to foods but affecting metabolism (such as exercise and sleep), and some related to food, such as meal timings, eating windows, or dietary supplements (enzymes, vitamins, minerals, etc).
PICK YOURSELF UP
'I'm tired of being tired. TIRAMI-SU!'
Tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian. Every nutritionist’s client, in three words.
How?
Learn how to identify what causes your energy to be less than it could be, and what to do to increase your horsepower.
Coffee?
Maybe this espresso will save your day. Or maybe it will kill your night.
Maybe you are genetically predisposed to tolerate caffeine (there are tests for that). Or maybe not, and then 2 cups a day should be your limit.
Or maybe you don't drink coffee at all, and nobody told you that chocolate and matcha contained caffeine.
You may be wondering why you're waking up at dawn, or crawling out of bed in the morning, or tossing and turning at night, or falling asleep after lunch.
With a better picture of your lifestyle and biochemistry, I can help you reset your habits towards higher, steadier energy levels. No magic pill, but practical solutions with measurable results.
SUPERMOBILE?
Naturally hyperflexible? Velvety skin? Unexplained pseudo-allergies? Irritable Bowel, aka bloating?
Do you suffer from recurrent injuries, fatigue or joint pain, as if trapped in a medieval armour?
Do the acronyms EDS, POTS and MCAS ring a bell?
Whether diagnosed or not, if you suspect hypermobility, a range of nutritional guidance exists that may improve your wellbeing.
Because structure impacts function, connective tissue disorders affect the entire body, not only the joints but also the vasculature, muscles, fascia, pelvic floor, gums, posture... as well as the digestive track and the brain.
From mast cells to food sensitivities, discover how to improve hypermobility symptoms with a tailored nutrition and lifestyle approach.
NEUROSPICY?
Neurodiversity encompasses conditions like sensory processing disorders, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, and autism, highlighting the rich tapestry of human neurological variations.
Common point? These descriptive labels identify neurodevelopmental differences that are affected by nutrition and, conversely, influence nutritional choices.
