Nutrition for Gut Health

A healthy gut is the cornerstone of overall health and well-being. Digestive issues can significantly impact your quality of life, from persistent discomfort to affecting energy levels, immunity, and even mental health. With extensive experience in supporting clients with a range of digestive concerns, I can help you identify and address the root causes of your symptoms for lasting relief.

​

I work with individuals experiencing both common digestive complaints, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, and bloating, as well as complex gastrointestinal disorders, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, my consultations are designed to provide personalised strategies tailored to your unique needs.

​

How I Can Support You​

​

My goal is to uncover and address the barriers to optimal digestion, helping you achieve better gut health and overall well-being. Here’s how I can help:

​

• Comprehensive Assessments: A thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and dietary habits to identify potential triggers and patterns contributing to your digestive concerns.

• Targeted Functional Testing: Where necessary, I may recommend functional tests, such as:

  • Breath Tests: To detect small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or lactose intolerance.

  • Stool Tests: To evaluate gut bacteria balance, inflammation, or infections.

  • Blood Tests: To uncover nutrient deficiencies or markers of inflammation.

  • Other specialised tests to explore underlying causes.

• Personalised Recommendations: Tailored dietary and lifestyle advice to reduce symptoms and improve digestive function, including guidance on meal timings, food combinations, and hydration.

• Elimination and Reintroduction Diets: Helping you identify potential food triggers through structured elimination diets and safely reintroducing foods to expand your diet while minimising symptoms.

• Gut-Friendly Meal Plans: Creating customised meal plans designed to support digestion and provide essential nutrients without aggravating symptoms.

• Supplement Advice: Recommending evidence-based supplements such as probiotics, prebiotics, or digestive enzymes (if needed).

Why Focus on Gut Health?

​

The gut plays a crucial role in many areas of health, from breaking down food and absorbing nutrients to supporting your immune system and regulating mood. Addressing gut health isn’t just about solving digestive symptoms—it can also improve energy, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.

​

By taking a personalised, evidence-based approach, I aim to help you restore balance to your gut and improve your quality of life.
