Do you feel like your hormones are all over the place, are you struggling with tiredness or brain fog, perhaps you are finding it difficult to get through the day. All women will go through the menopause, either naturally or medically induced, but this doesn’t mean that you have to suffer, a healthy menopause should be manageable with any symptoms not impacting your day to day life.
As a registered and certified Master Nutritionist, with additional training, education and clinical practice in women’s hormonal health, in particular the Perimenopause and Menopause, I work with women to balance their hormones through nutrition, lifestyle and education. This natural transition is one to be celebrated and is a wonderful part of a woman’s life, once we look in detail at your whole system we blend the science with a holistic approach to get you back on track to a healthy menopause.

From time to time, as part of a treatment plan, nutritional health supplements maybe recommended in certain cases. I am very particular about who I work with as many companies use fillers, binders and bulking or caking agents within their ranges. I have worked with Cytoplan for a number of years and I trust their products and ethos.
Cytoplan is British owned and independent and are wholly owned by a charitable foundation so are not constrained by the typical commercial pressures for profit. They provide a unique range of supplements comprising Food State™ and Wholefood vitamins and minerals which means they are supplied as nature intended.

In Clinic Testing
Food Intolerance Blood Test
£78.00 - results within 60 mins / £10.00 off when booked within a nutrition appt.
The Food Intolerance / Food Sensitivity test is an in-clinic test that measures IgG antibodies to 59 specific foods and provides results within 60 minutes. The test can identify potential "problem foods" for the individual, as elevated IgG antibodies may be linked to inflammatory conditions within the body, manifesting in a range of health issues. Foods tested include; gluten, yeast, milk, eggs, nuts and fish. I required a few drops of blood from a finger prick test, the results are ready with just 60 minutes)
Hair Mineral Analysis Testing
£74.00 - Results within 3 weeks
The Hair Mineral Analysis Test is an non-invasive and accurate way to look into how mineral imbalances can affect your stress and energy levels, and to help you find the balance that's right for you. Did you know that nutrient minerals, which we need for optimum health, are only obtained from food, drink and dietary supplements as we are unable to make our own, therefore a diet rich in these nutrients is vital for health longevity.
Why test hair and not blood?
* Hair is invaluable in the assessment of toxic metal levels. (Recommended by the EPA)
* Unlike blood, hair is less susceptible to reactive homeostatic mechanisms that affect trace element levels.
* Long-term deviations of mineral retention or losses are more easily detected in hair than blood.
* Concentrations of most elements in the hair are significantly higher than blood and other tissues.
* Hair provides a record of past as well as present trace element levels, i.e. biological activity.
*Hair provides information of substances entering from the blood serum and external sources.
The Test
To carry out the test a small amount of your hair (from your head or beard), is needed to send off to the laboratory in Texas, USA, where the hair is tested for its mineral and toxic metal storage levels. The laboratory uses the most advanced and sophisticated testing equipment available today and you will receive a full report following your results.
I am able to test most hair, including hair which is coloured and which has been shampooed, but I am unable to test hair which has been heavily bleached, hair which has used black hair dye (due to lead content) or washed with dandruff shampoo this is because the results may be impacted.
