ABOUT KATE

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE WORCESTER

Button

I am a fully qualified and registered nutritional therapist and functional medicine practitioner, member of The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), The British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT), and The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). After several years of study, I graduated from the esteemed Institute for Optimum Nutrition, and have embarked on further education with the highly regarded, internationally-recognised Institute for Functional Medicine.

Operating out of an idyllic shepherd’s hut clinic in the Worcestershire countryside, which offers a therapeutic environment in which to initiate your body’s innate ability to heal, I am truly passionate about restoring your vitality.

With a fascination for the power of hormones, be they those that impact mental health, weight, fertility, sex, female hormones or digestion, and the cascade of health effects they have, I specialise in gut health, fertility, stress, mental health, weight loss and both male and female hormones.

The Functional Medicine Approach that I employ seeks to identify the root cause of your symptoms, addressing the upstream imbalance that shows in the downstream symptoms. This requires a minimum of two consultations, each lasting approximately 1 hour.

After analysing your detailed questionnaires and listening to your health story, in collaboration with you, I devise an ongoing lifestyle plan that fits with your life. I firmly believe that knowledge is only a small part of life change and that the psychology of behaviour change, and thus the ease with which this plan fits with your current life, is absolutely vital.

I cover all fields of nutritional therapy and have a particular interest in the seemingly disparate, but actually closely-related, fields of autoimmunity, immunology, weight loss, digestive health, hormones and mental health. I do not specialise in cancer or eating disorders but would be happy to recommend practitioners in this field.

To extend my therapeutic reach wide and far, spreading the word of optimal health through dietary and lifestyle changes, I see clients in my shepherd’s hut clinic in the idyllic Worcestershire countryside, but can also consult clients remotely, via video call on my secure portal or over the telephone.
