Living Nutrition
βThe food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.β
ANN WIGMORE
My close connection to βfood as medicineβ began in childhood as my parents affirmed in me a strong foundation and passion for seasonal nutrition. Now, with over 20 years as an accredited nutritionist under my belt, my down to earth approach focuses on a seasonal and alkaline diet, supported by the natural medicine offered to us from mother earth (e.g tonic herbs, flower essences and tinctures). This unique perspective has successfully guided many people to feel more grounded and energised in their body, and take responsibility for their own health.
My journey has included working with Patrick Holford in Optimum Nutrition; studying 5 Element nutrition with chef and author Mary Lane; immersing myself in the world of raw foods with the Marketa Bola, and hosting Rhythm of Beauty Seasonal alignments alongside Food expert Mimi Kirkβs βYoung On Rawβ retreats in Mallorca.
As well as this, Iβm a member of FNTP which qualifies me to take extensive cases, carry out DNA Testing, PH testing and blood sugar testing. And am currently extending my knowledge with my third yearβs Advanced Diploma in Living Nutrition with the College of Living Nutrition.
The Way I Work
Food is simply our bodyβs fuel and the quantity and quality we consume has a dramatic effect on our energy, health and beauty.
Did you know that our skin cell turnover is approx. 28 days and our liver renews itself, becoming like new again, in around 6 weeks our lungs renew in just 2-3 weeks and our stomach just 5 days. The bodyβs innate natural cycle is amazingβ¦
This also shows us that we are what we eat, and that almost every cell in our body eventually dies and is replaced by new cells from the food that we consume.
I work by aligning to the seasons and cycles of nature which are reflected within the body. I ground this seasonal approach into my nutritional consultations which yield life changing, and in some cases, lifesaving results
Choosing A Nutritionist That Understands You Can Be Challenging:
My journey has never been about dieting or restriction in any way. My focus is about understanding the person and their lifestyle. Reviewing what they want to achieve and giving them the keys to unlock the health, vitality, and joy they desire in an easy and mindful way.
I donβt like to add labels to any nutritional programmer like βclean foodβ & donβt believe that simply being vegan, vegetarian, clean or gluten free will solve all ills. We are all different and one size cannot fit all. Finding the best nutrition for you must include your sex, age, lifestyle and general health will also work seasonally. As the seasons change so does our body and energy and we need to tweak our nutrition to align to the energy of the earth.
I will work with you to devise a nutritional programme that is bespoke and only about you and your path, without judgement or competition
