What is functional nutrition?
Functional nutrition asks a different question. Instead of what can we give you for this symptom, it asks: why is this happening in the first place?
I work like a health detective. I map every detail of your health onto an investigation board: symptoms, history, stress, sleep, diet, environment, genes and test results. Then I connect the dots, because the cause of your bloating might be your stress levels, and the cause of your skin might be your gut.
Once we know why, we can build a plan that fixes it, rather than one that just keeps things manageable.
Is this you?
- Your tests come back normal, but you don’t feel normal
- You’ve tried the diets, the supplements and the apps, and nothing has stuck
- You have several symptoms that nobody has connected
- You want to understand your body, not just manage it
- You want an approach that works alongside your doctor, not against them
If you nodded along, functional nutrition was made for you.
Conditions I help with
These are the areas I work with most. Open each one to see how I can help, or book a strategy call if you don’t see yours listed.
IBS and digestive issues
Bloating, IBS, constipation, reflux or food reactions that never fully settle. I find out why your gut is struggling, from stress and digestion to the microbiome.
Hormonal imbalances
PMS, heavy or painful periods, perimenopause, hormonal acne or low libido. I look at how you make, use and clear your hormones.
PCOS
Irregular cycles, acne, hair changes or stubborn weight. We find the drivers behind your PCOS, from blood sugar to inflammation.
Fertility
Preparing to conceive naturally. Egg quality, progesterone, metabolic health, stress and sperm quality, because fertility is a 50/50 effort.
Diabetes and insulin resistance
Prediabetes, type 2 diabetes or rising blood sugar. A realistic plan to rebalance blood sugar and energy, alongside your doctor.
Eczema, psoriasis and skin conditions
Chronic eczema, psoriasis, acne or rosacea. I look beneath the skin at gut health, inflammation, histamine and stress.
Chronic fatigue
Exhausted no matter how much you sleep. I investigate nutrients, thyroid, stress hormones, gut health and cellular energy.
Mental health
Anxiety, low mood or burnout. Supporting the physical side of mental health through the gut-brain connection, blood sugar and nutrients.
Insomnia
Can’t switch off, or waking at 3am. We look at blood sugar, cortisol, hormones, histamine and your nervous system.
Migraines
Frequent migraines or headaches. We find what lowers your threshold, from hormones and histamine to blood sugar and nutrients.
Neuropathy
Tingling, numbness or burning nerve pain. I look for drivers like low B12, blood sugar, inflammation and medication effects.
Raynaud's syndrome
Cold, white or numb fingers and toes. Support for circulation, nutrient status, stress and inflammation.
COVID vaccine injury support
Lingering fatigue, brain fog or palpitations after a COVID vaccine. Gentle, root-cause support alongside your medical care.
How functional medicine works
Instead of treating each symptom or organ on its own, I look at the whole system. Your genes, history and triggers sit at the roots; your lifestyle and environment shape what grows; your symptoms are what you see at the top.
- Investigate. A deep dive into your story, from the first symptom to today.
- Test where it helps. Functional blood analysis, stool, hormone and DNA testing, only when it will change what we do.
- Plan and support. Nutrition, targeted supplements and lifestyle changes, adjusted as your body responds.
