Support for nerve pain, tingling and numbness
Pins and needles that don’t go away. Burning feet at night. Numbness that makes you unsteady, or nerve pain that wears you down.
Neuropathy has many possible drivers, and some of them are very responsive to nutrition: low B12, blood sugar problems, alcohol, thyroid issues, inflammation and certain medications. Too often, nobody looks for them.
I investigate what’s affecting your nerves and build a plan to protect them and support repair.
Does this sound familiar?
- Tingling, pins and needles or numbness in your hands or feet
- Burning, stabbing or electric-shock pain
- Pain that’s worse at night
- Sensitivity to touch, or not feeling hot and cold properly
- Weakness, cramps or poor balance
- Symptoms that started after illness, medication changes or a period of heavy drinking
What's often behind neuropathy
- B12 and folate deficiency, including from long-term metformin or acid-blocking medication
- High blood sugar and insulin resistance, the most common cause worldwide
- Other nutrient gaps such as B1, B6 (too little or too much), vitamin D and magnesium
- Alcohol and its effect on B vitamins
- Thyroid function
- Inflammation and autoimmunity
- Post-viral and post-vaccine nerve symptoms
- Methylation, which affects B12 and folate use
How I work with you
Nerves heal slowly, so we start by finding and removing what’s damaging them.
- Investigate. Your symptoms, timeline, medications, diet and alcohol intake.
- Test where it helps. Functional blood analysis for B12, folate, blood sugar, thyroid and inflammation, and DNA methylation testing.
- Plan. Blood sugar balance, targeted nutrients, anti-inflammatory food and lifestyle support.
- Support. Regular reviews as your symptoms change.

Neuropathy FAQs
Can nerve damage improve?
Often, yes, especially when the cause is caught and addressed early. Nerves repair slowly, so improvements usually take months rather than weeks.
My B12 is in range. Could it still be a factor?
Yes. Serum B12 doesn’t always reflect what reaches your cells. Markers like active B12, homocysteine and MMA give a clearer picture.
When should I see a doctor?
Please see your GP for new numbness, weakness or nerve pain, and seek urgent help for sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or symptoms that spread quickly.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes. All consultations are online and I work with clients around the world. Most of the tests I use can be shipped internationally.
Will I need functional testing?
Not always. Testing is optional, and I only recommend tests that will change what we do. We decide together on your strategy call.
