You’re anxious for no clear reason, low when life seems fine, or running on empty after years of pushing through. Talking therapies may help, but something still feels off physically.

Your brain is an organ, and it depends on what your body gives it. Blood sugar, nutrients, gut bacteria, inflammation, hormones and sleep all shape how you feel, think and cope.

I work alongside your doctor, therapist or counsellor, supporting the physical side of mental health so you have more resilience to draw on.

• Anxiety, overthinking or feeling constantly on edge
• Low mood or lack of motivation
• Burnout and feeling wired but tired
• Mood that shifts with your cycle, including PMDD
• Brain fog and poor concentration
• Mood changes alongside gut symptoms
• Wanting support alongside medication or therapy

• The gut-brain connection. Most serotonin is made in the gut, and gut bacteria influence mood and anxiety.
• Blood sugar. Dips trigger adrenaline, which can feel exactly like anxiety.
• Nutrients. Omega-3, B vitamins, iron, zinc, magnesium and vitamin D are essential for brain chemistry.
• Inflammation, which can lower mood and motivation.
• Hormones, including thyroid, sex hormones and cortisol.
• Sleep, which affects everything else.
• Your genes, which influence how you make and clear serotonin, dopamine and GABA.

We look at the physical factors that affect how you feel, at a pace that suits you.

1. Investigate. Your symptoms, history, gut health, diet, sleep and stress.
2. Test where it helps. Functional blood analysis, a Nervous System DNA test, DUTCH hormone testing or a stool test.
3. Plan. Brain-supportive nutrition, blood sugar balance, targeted supplements and gentle lifestyle changes.
4. Support. Regular check-ins, working alongside your other care.
