How we'll work together
Before we talk about food, we talk about you. I want to understand your days, your habits, what you’ve already tried and what matters to you.
Then I‘ll take the time to explain what’s happening behind your energy slumps, cravings or stubborn weight, in plain words. This will help you understand the reasons behind every nutritional change we will be making.
Our main goal is to find a way of eating for you, that you can maintain long term. A way of eating that is compatible with your current life, that you can easily implement without spending your days in the kitchen and, most importantly, that you enjoy. Food is also a great source of pleasure, not just a means to better health.
In order to arrive at this endpoint, we will rely on real time data from your own body. The main tool we will use is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
It is a small, round sensor, painless and easy to apply, worn on the back of your arm. You'll keep it on for two weeks. During this time it will show us, in real time (via an app on your phone), how your meals, movement, stress and sleep affect your blood sugar.
You will carry on with your normal life, and we will go through the data together. Then we will turn the information into small, realistic changes that suit your body and we will see the effect of these changes in real time.
If you have medical conditions we will work alongside your doctor. I may make suggestions on what you can ask your doctor or discuss with them at your next appointment. Of course, nothing we do together replaces your doctor's medical advice.
After working together, you’ll come away understanding your body better and you will have clarity and confidence to make food choices that are really appropriate for your metabolism and long term health.
