WEIGHT LOSS DIET

Did you know that your body is naturally designed to maintain a healthy weight? 

Think for a moment: ​In 1980, approximately 6% of men and 8% of womenin England were classified as obese. By 2002, these figures had risen to 22.1% for men and 22.8% for women. As of 2025, about 64% of adults in England are either overweight or obese. 

These data tell you that something must have drastically changed to drive so many people into obesity, and that natural state of human's body is not obesity! Do you think that maybe back in 80s we were religiously counting calories and that is why we were slim? My answer is no, what has changed is food we eat. Market became flooded with sugary and processed food, causing blood sugar dysregulation and inflammation - major causes in weight gain.

As a word of explanation, when you drastically cut calories, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy, which is why traditional calorie-counting diets often fail and create yo-yo effect.

My approach to weight loss (including menopause weight loss) does not involve counting calories, carbs, or anything else. Instead, I focus on balancing blood sugar and eating food that quench inflammation — two simple yet crucial first steps toward sustainable weight loss and overall well-being.

  Digestive issues can arise due to a variety of factors, including poor diet, stress, infections, gut dysbiosis, and food intolerances. 

The gut is home to trillions of bacteria that play a key role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. 

When this delicate balance is disrupted—whether by processed foods, antibiotics, or chronic stress—it can lead to symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, constipation, or diarrhoea, often associated with IBS or SIBO. 

Additionally, conditions such as leaky gut, low stomach acid, and enzyme deficiencies can impair nutrient absorption and contribute to various health problems. 

As your gut health Nutritionist, I will focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of your digestive problems, which is essential for restoring optimal long-term gut health and general wellbeing.

I may offer you stool test analysis and food intolerance test to have a better understanding of triggering factors.

If you have been suffering from chronic constipation, diarrhoea, bloating or indigestion, I would love to hear from you!

Tiredness, mental and physical fatigue, weight gain, muscle weakness, irritability, anxiety, difficulty focusing and concentrating, declining cognitive function, lightheadedness, frequent colds and flu, food cravings may all be signs of imbalanced blood sugar and insulin resistance. 

Over time, this imbalance can progress to prediabetes and eventually diabetes. 

In the long term, dysregulated blood sugar may contribute to various health issues, including obesity, inflammation, heart disease, just to name few.  It can also make menopause weight loss more challenging
 

Balanced blood sugar is the key factor to sustainable health and wellbeing, and the good news is that balancing your blood sugar doesn't need to be complicated!

Eating balanced, nutrient-dense meal, building your stress resilience as well as implementing regular physical activity (and I do not mean sweating in the gym for hours) may be all you need!

Ongoing fatigue can have many underlying causes — from blood sugar imbalances and poor sleep to low nutrient status or impaired cellular energy production. Common contributors include stress, hormone changes, and deficiencies in key nutrients like iron, B vitamins, or magnesium. Nutritional therapy can help identify and address the root causes of your fatigue through targeted diet and lifestyle changes, helping you restore energy, improve resilience, and feel more like yourself again. 

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is influenced by several key factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, obesity, and oxidative stress. Poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and chronic stress can all contribute to these risk factors. 

However, adopting a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet—rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, polyphenols, and antioxidants—can help reduce inflammation, support healthy cholesterol levels, and improve blood sugar regulation. 

Regular physical activity, stress management, quality sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight also play a crucial role in preventing CVD and supporting long-term heart health. 

Contact me if you have been diagnosed with high cholesterol or blood pressure, and would like to address these health issues in a natural way.

Struggling with perimenopause, or menopause? 

Symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, bloating, painful and swollen breast, menopausal weight gain, hot flashes, and poor sleep can be overwhelming - I know that first-hand!

Factors such as stress, inadequate diet, and blood sugar imbalances often make them worse. But the good news is that there is a way to balance your hormones and feel better. Trust me, I did it, and so you can do it too!

Diet and lifestyle play absolutely a key role in supporting hormonal balance at all stages of woman's life!

A balanced, nutrient-dense food rich in healthy fats, fibre, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins and minerals can help regulate hormones, support estrogen metabolism, mitigate symptoms of estrogen dominance and related symptoms
 

I use personalized nutrition, natural supplements and lifestyle changes to help women balance hormones naturally—supporting better energy, healthy weight, mood, and long-term well-being.

 Common psychological health problems include anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders. 

These conditions can be influenced by factors such as brain chemistry imbalances, hormonal fluctuations, blood sugar issues and chronic inflammation. 

Diet plays a crucial role in mental health by providing essential nutrients that support brain function, including omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants. A diet rich in whole foods, healthy fats, lean protein, and fiber can help stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are vital for mood regulation and focus. 

By focusing on a nutrient-dense diet, you can experience improved concentration and focus, while also enhancing emotional well-being and mental resilience. 

If you suffer from any of the above conditions, contact me to find out more how diet can help.

 Common factors that can impair immune health and increase inflammation include chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, environmental toxins, and infections. 

These can lead to an overactive and imbalanced immune response - a root cause in many inflammatory conditions such as autoimmune diseases, allergies, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even cancer. 

A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and polyphenols, can help restore balance by reducing inflammation. 

Natural supplements like curcumin (from turmeric), probiotics, vitamin D, and magnesium support immune function and reduce inflammatory markers in the body. 

Lifestyle factors such as time in nature, exercising, stress reduction and avoidance of toxins play a huge role in healthy immune system.

By incorporating dietary and lifestyle  changes and supplements, it's possible to help regulate the immune system and promote overall health.

  Thyroid issues, like hypothyroidism are often caused by immune system dysregulation e.g. autoimmune conditions, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, and genetics. 

Symptoms may include fatigue, constipation, heavy menstrual bleeding, dry skin and hair loss, inability to loose weight, and mood imbalances., such as depression.

A diet rich in vital nutrients e.g. iodine and selenium, building resilience to stress and implementing regular physical activity can support thyroid function and related symptoms.

In my practice, I often see my patients report better energy and weight loss once we address thyroid functions. 

If you think you may have thyroid issues, contact me today to book your consultation.

 Prostate health is essential for overall male well-being, and common issues like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer can affect many men as they age. 

Diet plays a key role in supporting prostate health, with antioxidant-rich foods such as tomatoes, broccoli, and green tea helping to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. 

Healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc are also important for prostate function. 

Good diet may provide support in maintaining prostate health and reducing the risk of related conditions.
