Nutritionist - Eat Yourself Well: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I came to Amanda with 4 different conditions that affect the digestive system and haven't been to the toilet in over a year. The advice and help i received was out of this world. The supplements Amanda suggested have helped so much and I am over the moon for all she has done for me. Thank you for everything Amanda and guiding me in the right direction. Many thanks Mark
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to leave me a review, it is very much appreciated. I am pleased to have to help you in your journey back to better health. All the best Amanda
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Dr Ellwood by a friend for nutritional and lifestyle advice following a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Amanda gave me very helpful advice as well as recommending supplements. She gave me as much supporting evidence for her recommendations as I required. She recommended blood tests the results of which were helpful. I will have another DEXA scan next year to see whether the quality of my bones has improved. My skin, fingernails and digestion certainly have. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to anyone in a similar situation. She is knowledgeable, well qualified and empathetic.
Hi Maggie, I very much appreciate you taking the time to leave a review for me. I'm pleased to have been able to help you. All the best Amanda
Fantastic experience: I approached Amanda to support me in recovery and weight loss. The sessions were fun, filled with information and good tips for eating and cooking. In three months, I have lost weight and have a greater sense of well-being. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for sound advice and a healthy way forward.
Hi Jonathan, thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave me a review, it is very much appreciated. I'm pleased to have been able to help!
Fantastic experience: Advice and guidance on pre-diabetes treatment and IBS Amanda was thorough, explained the issues I was having and how, rather than needing opposite solutions, everything was very linked together. It took a substantial change of eating habits but Amanda took me through it step by step and made plenty of positive suggestions rather than 'you can't do this...'. It was more 'you can do this other thing'. Mind blowing advice at times. It turned a lot of pre-existing beliefs on their heads but all made sense. I already feel better, there are more things I can do, and I am looking forward to my next blood test to see the results. Thank you Amanda. It has been life changing
Coralie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave me review, it is very much appreciated! I'm so pleased that I've able to support you- change is challenging and hard sometimes. But so worth it if you feel the benefits!
Fantastic experience: I came to Amanda with quite bad eczema problems. She was really helpful and gave me exactly what I needed to help my skin. My skin is now better than it’s ever been! I’d definitely recommend seeing Amanda for any issues you’re having!
Hi Cameron, thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave a review. I'm really pleased that I have been able to help you.
Fantastic experience: I approached Amanda to help me with moderate chronic fatigue CFS in the hope that she could guide me toward better energy and overall health, as well as managing some underlying IBS. She has helped me to absolutely transform my health (including my diet), my energy has greatly improved and I'm back to feeling like a normal functioning human being after several years of struggling. it's been a fairly long road but her patience and expertise has made a massive difference for me. I couldn't have done it without her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing help in these areas. Thank you Amanda!
Hi Scott, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it's very much appreciated. I wish you all the best, in good health!
Fantastic experience: Have been struggling with my eczema a lot recently and Amanda has gone above and beyond any dermatologist. What I thought was just a surface issue turned out to have so much to do with what was going on inside. Extremely grateful for all the guidance I got. Could not recommend her more.
Thanks you for taking the time to reply! I'm glad to have been able to help you.
Fantastic experience: Having struggled with severe joint pain and weight gain, thyroid issues and general fatigue I approached Amanda for help. I was tired of conflicting dietary advice - failed diets and extreme exercise programs too. Amanda has helped me gain focus, debunked all the myths, obviously has a huge amount of knowledge and has a reassuring way of explaining the whys too. I feel like I’m on the beginning of my journey. I’ve gone gluten free, learning so much about stabilising my insulin, eating the right foods and getting rid of fads and diets. So far I’ve gone from moving like a 90 year old to walking freely back up the stairs, my energy levels are improving, I’m feeling happier in myself and I’m really enjoying my food again. I’m looking forward to even more results as I improve my food and movement plan. Can’t thank Amanda enough for her support so far
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. I'm glad to have been able to help you.
Fantastic experience: After suffering some health issues a few years ago, I had got myself into a rut and had developed bad eating habits, sugar addiction, unhealthy cravings and weight gain. I felt exhausted both mentally and physically most days and I couldn’t find the motivation or know how to make the right choices for my health. Then I met with Amanda and it was like she waved a magic wand. She explained everything so clearly to me, in a way I could understand. She devised the perfect plan for my personal needs and supported me throughout. The results have been amazing and life changing for me in a relatively short space of time. Although the eating plan was designed to lower my blood sugar levels and stop the spikes, the healthy eating has resulted in a big weight loss and overall body fat loss. Plus I’m sleeping much better and have regained my energy. I honestly can’t thank Amanda enough for helping me to get my life back. I couldn’t have done this without her
Helen, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you, keep going, as you are really are achieving your goals with the simple, lifelong changes I recommended!
Fantastic experience: I approached Amanda with concerns following a recent diagnosis of high cholesterol. She not only reassured and re-educated me concerning my diagnosis, but provided so much more information and discussion beyond this - my, and my family's, health have improved and I feel reinvigorated on the path of healthy living. Many thanks Amanda, for all your advice and support. I wholeheartedly recommend you to others seeking to improve their health or make adjustments to their lifestyles.
Helen, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased that I have been of some help to you and your family. I wish a very healthy future!
Fantastic experience: As someone struggling with RLS and insomnia, I approached Amanda to see if changing my diet could help. She was extremely helpful and supportive, chatting with me via three Zoom sessions, as well as via supporting materials. It's still a journey for me but I now feel more empowered in terms of understanding what and how to eat, etc. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Amanda to anyone who is keen to improve what they eat!
Thank you John, for leaving a review it is very much appreciated. I wish all the best with your journey towards better health and wellbeing and an happy to support you further with in-depth functional testing if needed.
Fantastic experience: Excellent advice and help from Amanda! There is so much conflicting information in the media and from various other sources about what does and doesn’t make up a healthy and nutritional diet. Amanda’s advice is simple and easy to understand, and some of the recipes provided have been excellent and tasty,!!
Hi Mike, many thanks for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: After having just 3 sessions with Amanda I have found major improvements with my digestive health and am making positive improvements with hormone balance. Can not thank her enough for her help!
Fantastic experience: I started working with Amanda late last year. I have tried lots of different ways to adjust my diet to support my health but I have found there is so much conflicting advice that I was feeling more confused than ever. I decided to invest in myself and contact Amanda's. Following her advice and doing the relevant tests, we have managed to very simply adjust my diet and include a pared back supplement plan that is tailored to myself. 8 months on and I honestly feel the best I have felt in years, it's like someone has switched the lights back on again!
Fantastic experience: I had stomach ache and other digestive issues. Amanda gave me lots of good advice and suggestions and I am feeling so much better now, thank you Amanda.
Hi Joey, thanks for taking the time to write a review, it it very much appreciated. I’m am so please you have benefited from seeing me.
Fantastic experience: Amanda helped me re-set my digestive system after a long bout of diarrhoea and is now helping me with thyroid and hormone imbalances - she is very knowledgeable and I thoroughly recommend her
Hi Melanie, many thanks for taking the time to write this, I really appreciate it. I’m so pleased that you have had some benefit from seeing me.
Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism over 5yrs ago the weight was piling on and I was having quite a lot of different health problems varying from stage 1 hypertension, Migraines, steatosis of liver, bowel issues and severe back pain. Amanda came highly recommended by my physiotherapist to which I am very grateful. Through Amanda's guidance we have tackled my various issues step by step by doing various tests, a complete overhaul of my diet to which I got various recipes and was recommended various supplements. I have completely changed my eating habits and my lifestyle. My liver is now normal and I do not suffer from hypertension or migraines. My Thyroid meds have also been reduced, the most significant change is a 20.2kg weight loss in 18mths, I have so much more energy and this all thanks to Amanda.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review for me, it is very much appreciated. Well done for making the commitment to change and seeing it through - you have put in an enormous amount of work, and have completely turned around your health as a result.
Fantastic experience: Amanda has been a huge help in repairing my gut! I’ve suffered from gut issues for a number of years and tried many different things. Finally with Amanda’s help I have been able to minimise gut issues!
Fantastic experience: Following a diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer, I was keen to take some control of my situation by looking more closely at my lifestyle. This included an overhaul of my dietary and nutritional needs. I met with Amanda, initially to review how I could make sustainable changes that would help me with my recovery from chemotherapy by re-building my immune system and getting my strength back. As part of the process, I did choose to pay for additional tests. I was sceptical at first, given the additional costs, however these have proved extremely useful and have actually informed some decision making, in regards to my treatment. I am so grateful for Amanda's input and expertise. The changes she has encouraged me to make have allowed me to feel empowered and whilst my treatment remains on going for the foreseeable, I feel that I am doing everything I can to improve my situation. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone in my situation who feels helpless by a diagnosis such as mine, and who feels the need to contribute to their wellbeing.
Jenny, many thanks for taking the time to leave me a review, it is much appreciated. I am glad that I have been able to support you, and wish you all the best, Amanda
Fantastic experience: After a battery of tests with my GP to discover the cause of some issues I was experiencing and receiving no conclusion or practical help, I decided look elsewhere for assistance and support. Amanda has been a great source of information and guidance and has offered me excellent advice in order to alleviate and manage the symptoms I have been experiencing. Her nutritional guidance has helped me to make necessary changes to my diet in order to achieve this. It has been a very simple process to make appointments via her website and you are offered a choice of in person or online consultations. Thank you Amanda.
Leslie, Many thanks for taking the time to post a review for me, it is much appreciated. I am glad that I have been able to be of some help. All the best, Amanda
Fantastic experience: Amanda’s advice and guidance has literally transformed my health. I have a chronic back condition which I have been unable to get under control with conventional medicine for over 7 years. Since working with Amanda I now have very few flare ups and my energy levels are radically improved. As a mum of two young children this has been life changing. I highly recommend Amanda, she is hugely knowledgable and will guide you through the approach that’s best for you. I have a lot to thank her for.
Sarah, I very much appreciate you taking the effort to leave a review. I am so pleased I was able to help, you worked hard to make the recommended changes and reaped the benefits..so keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: I suffer from Osteoporosis and IBS, the latter I have suffered from for nearly 40yrs. I was recommended by a friend to contact Amanda and I am so pleased I took the recommendation forward. It has only been a few months since contacting Amanda but the advise and recommendations she has given me has proved to be extremely beneficial regarding my IBS in such a small space of time. The Osteoporosis will take time before I can see any beneficial results as I will have to undergo my usual bi-annual testing. The goals and support Amanda has given me have been clear and precise which has enabled me to focus on what I need to do and achieve my goals successfully. Amanda advised my to go to my Doctors to request full blood tests which my Doctor was fully supportive about and the results allowed me again to focus on what was important for me. Amanda also passed on recipes and types of food which have proved again to be very beneficial. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who is wanting to improve their eating habits, overall wellbeing and to enjoy life.
Patricia, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave the review and am so pleased I was able to make a positive difference!
Fantastic experience: Dr Ellwood is very friendly and approachable. She is very professional, and thorough. The treatment she recommended was excellent and cured a problem I had suffered from for years. I would highly recommend her.
Jane, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and hope that you continue to benefit from my advice.
Fantastic experience: I went to Amanda as found out that after a blood test I had pre diabetic and high cholestral.Changing my diet which amanda recommended me after 6 months my next blood test showed that my sugar was normal and my Cholestral was in control. I would recomend Amanda to everyone who needs to change.
Ebrahim, many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. You worked hard to make the changes I recommended to your diet and lifestyle and as a result saw a positive change to your health, well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Amanda has been a wonderful source of information and practical support in helping manage our 9 year old daughter’s autoimmune condition. She has guided us through the minefield of testing and autoimmune diets and tailored her approach specifically to our needs. There is so much information on the internet, that it can be overwhelming and difficult to know what to do for the best. We have seen a significant benefit to our daughter’s energy levels, despite being on weekly immunosuppressants and feel we are all benefitting from the simple dietary changes she has advised!
Hi Sophie, many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It is very much appreciated. I know that you will continue to support your daughter with her diet and am pleased that you have embraced the changes with enthusiasm to the benefit of all.
Positive experience: An excellent nutritional based programme that caters well for individual needs and not an 'off the shelf' package ... highly recommended
Graham, Many thanks for taking the time to leave me a review, it is very much appreciated. You have taken on board the information I have given you and have done exceptionally well, keep it up!
Positive experience: After a flair up of IBS symptoms I contacted Amanda for her help. I wanted a scientific approach and that is what I got. Amanda really does know her stuff and has a wealth of knowledge at her fingertips. At times I felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information being fired at me (more difficult or me to interact on zoom) but Amanda backed all of it up with handouts which was very helpful. Amanda's scrutiny of my diet helped me to see what I could improve on and what I was doing right. Tests were offered but my symptoms were so much improved I decided to leave that for now and to see if the improvements to my diet (lots of recipes and suggestions to print off) and supplements prescribed continue to keep the symptoms at bay. Thank you Amanda
Juliet, Many thanks for taking the time to post a review. I appreciate your feedback, and will take onboard your comment on "information overload"! Indeed Zoom is not an ideal media on occasions to have an interactive therapeutic relationship. I am nevertheless pleased that my advice has worked for you. I am happy to help again in the future if need be. All the best, Amanda
Fantastic experience: I contacted Amanda following high cholesterol and blood pressure readings and while I might typically be seen as young to see these results I have family history of heart disease and wanted to address this early through diet and not medication. Throughout my three appointments Amanda gave helpful information in an accessible way - she gave an easy to understand overview of why things happen when we eat certain foods and how small changes can help make improvements, while giving examples of how she uses her own advice in her day to day life (such as recipes, cooking tips and where to shop). This made the sessions informative and relatable. Amanda recommended a couple of blood test to check vitamin D and to drill down on the cholesterol results. There was no pressure from Amanda to have these tests, just an explanation the rationale behind them and what they would tell us. I had the tests as felt it was the best option for me and then went through the results in detail, with a plan to address what they showed. Amanda gives great, easy to understand advice, which is easy to apply to your routine - she advises on food, lifestyle and supplements, giving you the chance to ask questions on all topics so you fully understand everything. This was then followed up with documentation (fact sheets, recipes, recommended reading and ideas for other thought leaders to follow). All in all i would recommend Amanda as an insightful approachable practitioner (with delicious food tips) and will be seeing her again for advice as and when needed.
Fantastic experience: Right from my first meeting with Amanda, she was determined to treat the cause of the problem rather than just the problem itself. She organised tests, supported me through the process and analysed the results in a way that was accessible to me. From there she's developed a treatment plan including a lovely menu that now all of the family are on and really love too. For the first time in a long time, I've felt completely looked after by a medical professional - Amanda has been an unbelievable support and guide in all aspects of health.
Many thanks for leaving this review, it is much appreciated. You have made all the changes we discussed; that’s the hard part, and you are beginning to reap the benefits! Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: My goal was to transfer from T3 T4 private prescriptions due to difficulties. I was forced to consider Levothyroxine from NHS which my body did not tolerate before. Amanda worked tirelessly to help my body work with the said Levo. Amanda listened and supported me along every step of my journey, giving me helpful advice, support and honest guidance. The tests, diet and supplements were helpful. Amanda’s support has been invaluable, I am at a place now, that has changed the way I live my life, I am still progressing reclaiming my life after 30 or more years. I have a way to go yet, but I know with my continued efforts ‘the world is now becoming my oyster’, instead of disability and four walls of my home being ‘my world’. I have already and do recommend Amanda without any hesitation. I am 65 years old, was very active in my youth but my body was never working quite right. All my efforts bore little fruit, but with Amanda on board, she changed my life. If you are prepared to get in the boat to give the opportunity a try, you hopefully will find your horizons opening up and she will be a blessing to you as she has been to me.
Fantastic experience: Amanda has been a fantastic help to me helping me apply her wealth of knowledge to how and what I eat. This in turn has lead to my IBD symptoms settling for the first time in months. The tests she offers are so detailed and like no other I have come across and she was able to gain a lot of information from me and for me throughout. She gave me the confidence to eat foods I was scared of because they had previously given me symptoms. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Amanda was AMAZING! Went to see her regarding some issues i had been having and we managed to clear them up in a matter of weeks! Generally i feel better within myself and have a lot more energy! Amanda gave me great recipes and taught me a great deal about food and supplements to support this. She has given me a great head start on a long path to having a far better general health, and the other bonus.... Weight Loss! I couldn't recommend Amanda more if i wanted to!
Hi Bradley, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review for me, it is much appreciated. You really took on board the recommendations I made, and as a result you rapidly achieved your goals. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: My wife is beginning to suffer from Alzhiemers and has Lupus and we wanted to do everything possible to negate the effects of these conditions. Only time will tell if the changes to our diet will help to achieve this objective but Amanda's approach and depth of knowledge, backed up by a logical, documented, scientific approach has shown us that what we thought was a healthy diet was in fact not that healthy and could be easily and cheaply transformed into one much better. Amanda has given us the knowledge to do this. I would unequivocally recommend Amanda's services.
I very much appreciate you taking the trouble to leave me a review. Best of luck with continuing the good work that you and your wife started together.
Fantastic experience: I visited Eat Yourself Well and talked to Amanda about my wish to come off statins and anti-coagulants. I have since come off them, started on various supplements and feel great. I have great confidence in Amanda’s methods. One of the things I appreciate most about her advice is her wholistic approach. After all the body functions as a whole and needs to be treated as such.
Ann, many thanks for your review. You took on board all the dietary and lifestyle recommendations and listened to the balanced scientific information I gave you in order that you could make the correct decision for your own health. Although I’m not allowed to tell you to stop taking medically prescribed drugs I am able to provide a balanced information for you to make your own decision.
Fantastic experience: 30 years ago I started with severe bowel problems and since then I have seen literally dozens of bowel specialists in every hospital in the Greater Manchester area. I have even been to London on three occasions, all to no avail. Thankfully I have since discovered Doctor Amanda Ellwood, Nutritional Therapist (Eat Yourself Well) who has made a vast difference to my health and wellbeing. Through tests she helped me to identify certain foods I should avoid, and guided me through the minefield of dietary advice. I have since recommended her to several friends without hesitation. Barry, Manchester.
Fantastic experience: 9 months ago I was pre-diabetic, but with the help of Amanda my blood results are at the good end of excellent and I feel great. If you are looking to change your eating habits, I recommend you speak to Amanda first for some sensible advice. I also have CFS/ME and have noticed that it responds very quickly to a change in diet.
Jo, thanks so much for your review. When I work with sensitive individuals who are suffering from long-term health challenges, then a carefully tailored personalised approach is critical to success. You have worked very hard to make the changes I have recommended, and are now beginning to reap the benefit in terms of you health. Keep it up, I will continue to support you as long as you need my help and advice.
Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed at the beginning of 2019 with Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and was finding it very difficult to come to terms with the restrictions in my life. Since finding Amanda in the summer I have started to turn my life around. I decided the best route for me was to have the function tests done, which showed Amanda exactly what was going on, and me it wasn't all in my head. It has been extremely helpful to be able to target specific needs and start repair and recovery work immediately. Initially I thought Amanda might help with the chronic IBS I had but it has been so much more. My energy levels are up, pain levels are down, in fact I feel in control of my life for the first time in years. I know there's still a long way to go, but I really enjoy our sessions, which leave me feeling very positive about each step forward in my recovery. I couldn't recommend more highly.
Hi Judy, thanks so much for taking the trouble of leaving a review for me, it is much appreciated. I am so pleased that my support and guidance has been the starting point to getting your health back. You have worked very hard to make the changes to your diet and lifestyle and you are beginning to reap the benefits, well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I have suffered with digestive problems for as long as I can remember, namely chronic IBS. This was extremely debilitating and my overall well-being was suffering. My goal was to get to the real root cause of my issues, instead of just treating the symptoms. I wanted someone who understood nutrition from a scientific point of view. We went through my food dairy and medical history. I made changes to my diet. I also re-introduced meat (organic) and fish, as I was lacking in certain nutrients by avoiding these. I also had a stool test done. This revealed that I had an imbalance in my digestive system as it contained certain bad bacteria and yeast. I now take food supplements (NOT drugs), to help restore good bacteria within my digestive system. I have also increased by water intake. My IBS is completely gone and I no longer feel bloated or tired all the time. I did not improve overnight. It took 3 months after I started the program before I started feeling better. A change in diet can truly transform your health and rid yourself of long-standing issues. My message is, never give up, you don’t have to continue suffering. There is help out there and I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough.
Martin, many thanks for taking the trouble to post this review. You put your trust in my advice, and did all the hard work to make the changes that I suggested - this has paid off! Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Amanda to help optimise my health whilst trying for a baby. We did some targeted testing which helped identify areas of health other than nutrition to really focus on, which has helped me with motivation and focus for these. In terms of nutrition, she gave me extra ideas and supported me again with targeted vitamin supplementation, and within weeks I felt much more like my usual self. I am pleased to report a baby is now on the cook, no doubt in part thanks to Amanda's help! Highly recommend.
Heather, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review - it's hard sometimes when you already have a 'healthy diet' to know whether you can benefit from the kind of support I give - lifestyle is just as important and the changes you implemented may well have made all the difference! Go well!
Fantastic experience: Amanda has a great wealth of knowledge to share. She helped me understand and improve my daily eating habits. She also provided fact sheets, recipes and encouragement. Not only have I benefited but my family has as well. Thank you Amanda for your guidance.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review, ti is much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Amanda has really helped me in achieving a good balance to my nutritional lifestyle. I came to her having gone through a whole process of doctors with little yield, eventually being told that I had a difficulty with processing food. The advice and knowledge that I gained from Amanda was incredibly eye-opening and really put me back on track. My diet completely transformed for the better, and I realised how I could not only maintain a good healthy diet, but one that I could enjoy. This was in complete contrast to the low fibre diet that the doctors had put me on. As well as this, you get to work with Amanda who is a delight and someone who I would highly recommend to anyone in a similar circumstance, or in need of nutritional advice.
Matthew, many thanks for making the effort to post a review, it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you make the changes to transform your health. All the very best. Amanda
Fantastic experience: After a long fight of getting a diagnosis of IBS, Amanda has been amazing in helping me control my flare ups with some simple dietry and lifestyle changes. Although not 100% free from issues, her advice has changed my life dramatically and now I can look forward to my honeymoon later this year with a bit more confidence that I should be ok to venture out much more than I dared to. Thank you so much!
Alan, many thanks for taking the trouble to post a review. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you. You have really embraced the changes I recommended, and as a result are reaping the benefits, keep it up! Good luck for a very happy and healthy future. Amanda
Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed all my meetings with Amanda. She is very knowledgeable and full of advice and tips. She's helped me a great deal and her recipes are great. Highly recommended!
Maria, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave me review, it is much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with ulcerated colitis in 2014 I didn’t really know much about the disease and thought Conventional medication would cure the colitis, how wrong was I! I continued to be in and out of remission for 3 years, it changed my life ...had no life! I became paranoid of going out incase I needed the toilet, my social life was next to none, I felt depressed, lonely and very isolated, I stopped going to the gym and my regular yoga class. I managed to go to work as I knew where the toilets were. 2017 I came down with a really bad cold, really bad flare of colitis and covered with dermatitis all over my face, this was very painful. I knew I had to do something about my health, I have always been in tip top health. So I started reading up on IBD going on YouTube buying cookery books specifically for colitis, I spent a fortune on supplements and foods etc. However I came across a YouTube video talking about the gut and how the gut is your immune system and when comprised (over growth of bad bacteria, over growth of fungus, parasites, and leaky gut) can cause all sorts of autoimmune diseases (ulcerated colitis being one of them) It talked about having functional test. Straight away I gave up wheat and sugar in my diet and found it helped dramatically but I knew I needed more help to get to where I am today. I Googled functional Dr in my area and Amanda came up, I was so excited to say the least, I knew I was onto something and called Amanda the next day. I started to see Amanda and this is where the road to recovery started! Straight away Amanda arranged for a functional test and full blood count to be done , went through my diet and life style. Results from my functional tests were very interesting and gave me answers to my why, straight away Amanda started me on herbs, vitamins and immune supports. This was a long process with outstanding results. Amanda helped me achieve my goals. Amanda has also introduced me to a natural way of boosting my immune system and getting those good bugs we need to achieve a more healthy environment for our guts. I am 6 months in and I feel I have my life back, I have been on holiday, I can go shopping stress free and toilet free! I have lots of plans for the summer ie outdoor concerts etc. Amanda is truly remarkable I am so pleased I found her Amanda has changed my life. It’s not an easy journey and there are lots of changes to be made in ones life and diet. Amanda supported me through my journey and was always there if I needed extra advice. I would highly recommend Amanda if you want to get your health/life back on track. Best wishes Amanda lots of love Dawn Lee
Dawn, thank you for taking the trouble to post a review. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you. You had already made some significant changes to your diet when you came to see me, and had begun to see the difference in your health. Testing allowed me to make some very specific recommendations to start a gut healing protocol with you. Your trust in me and your hard work has truly paid dividends. I wish you all the very best for a healthy and fulfilled future, and look forward to seeing you for a "check-in" very soon!
Fantastic experience: I live with Ulcerative Colitis which is well believed to be somewhat, if not largely, the result of, and governed by aspects of one’s diet and lifestyle. The medical intervention provided by the hospital is an essential part of my coping strategy, but having spent time listening to Amanda, learning what she has to teach, and applying her informed and well explained advice, it seems to me that there is a greatly underrepresented educational element to treating this disease and those like it. The relationship is noticeably more personal than those I experience in the NHS, and while this is understandable it should not go without comment. For example, Amanda’s understanding of pharmacology has meant that she is able to help me understand my situation, the options available and the experiences I have had as a hospital patient. It has taken some will power, attention, time and money, but I now have an understanding of my digestive system which I am confident I could not have acquired through self study and the established medical practice provided by the hospital. I would recommend nutritional therapy to anyone in my situation and I would recommend Amanda as being able to help in all the ways I could have hoped.
Many thanks for your review, it is much appreciated. I am glad that my approach has been of help to you. Using functional medicine has allowed us to 'dig deeper' to perhaps understand better the underlying multifactorial causes of your condition. This has then helped me to make some suggestions on diet, lifestyle and supplements which has allowed you to progress towards wellness. With your structured approach, discipline and determination you have achieved a lot with my support. Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and also very passionate about all things nutrition. Her advice is sound, practical and firm. Clear guidance is given so that any dietary changes that need to be made feel very manageable. My daughter also went to see Amanda and feels that the advice and help that she was given during a difficult time in her life was life changing and invaluable in her road to health. Thank you Amanda.
Many thanks Maureen for taking the time to post a review, it is much appreciated. I am glad that I have been of help to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I consulted Amanda when I learned that cartilage in my hip joint had worn away and a hip replacement was necessary. I was keen to check that my diet was healthy and appropriate both pre and post surgery, for healing and bone growth. Amanda asked for detailed information about diet and lifestyle before we met. She had read this and was well prepared for the initial consultation. Her advice was comprehensive and clear. She organised tests to check various nutrient levels before suggesting changes in diet or addition of supplements. In all follow up appointments Amanda has continued to give information about various aspects of diet and nutrition. Her knowledge is extensive and in depth. She keeps up to date with modern developments. Nonetheless she explains complex biochemical concepts in terms a layperson can understand. She has listened to my point of view and reservations and has offered alternatives when necessary. I'm glad I asked for her help. It has been consistently impressive. As a result, I have made changes to my diet which I believe are beneficial both in the short and the long term. I would recommend anyone seeking professional and well informed opinion on their diet and nutrition to consult Amanda.
Barbara, many thanks for taking the time to post this review. I am very pleased that I have been of help and support to you. You have taken on board my advice and as a result have had an successful recovery following surgery. You are making adjustments to your diet and lifestyle, so that it addresses your diagnosis of osteopenia/osteoporosis, hopefully avoiding any further deterioration in your bone health in the future. All the very best. Amanda
Fantastic experience: I was treated for a spinal infection with 3 months of intravenous antibiotics, 2 years ago, to wipe out a viral infection that could have been fatal. The antibiotics had done a great job in bringing me back around to good health, but unknowingly they had also left behind a further issues. The course of antibiotics had taken its toll and imbalanced by body’s hormones and gut biome leaving me changed psychologically and also in discomfort. I came to Amanda as I have always believed that the best way to to heal the body is through natural courses and not through prescription medication! Amanda evaluated my situation using a specialty GI Effect test to find the route of my problems and in doing so discovered the imbalance in my gut. I was set up on a natural supplement course that has completely turned my discomfort and mood around, steadily returning me to the person I was before whilst further educating me in look after my body. I know that I will always be able to look to Amanda for advice should I ever need it and I highly recommend for people to do the same. Amanda has helped get my life back on track!
Fantastic experience: I had been extremely unwell for 6 months before I went to see Amanda. Conventional medicine did not seem to be able to help my condition and the nearest I got to a diagnosis was that I was suffering with an unexplained functional neurological condition & central nervous system sensitisation which had left me with symptoms of chronic fatigue. I was at the end of my tether - completely debilitated, unable to work and my partner was my full time carer. Even a simple task such as showering left me exhausted and as for using a hair dryer - well I just didn’t have the strength! Amanda organised a battery of tests which identified that I was borderline and/or deficient in many areas and she devised a comprehensive programme of supplementation to support my system and kickstart recovery. She also gave me lots of useful advice and information on nutrition, diet & lifestyle which I took on board. And that approach worked! Three months later, I have really turned the corner and am so much better. I feel like I am getting my life back and am optimistic and confident about my recovery and return to full health.
Fantastic experience: After suffering with severe Ulcerative Colitis for several years, I sought help from Amanda for an alternative approach to wellness, to work alongside my usual medication. Within several months, my severe symptoms have all but gone. This has taken hard work from both myself, and Amanda but I can't thank her enough for helping me. We continue to work together on diet and supplements to ensure my journey to full remission is realised. I would recommend her wealth of knowledge, friendly, honest and realistic approach to anyone (and in fact I do often!).
Heather, many thanks for posting this review. You followed my advice, and we conducted a comprehensive stool analysis (GI Effects) which enabled me to make specific recommendations for antimicrobial and gut-healing supplements alongside an anti-inflammatory diet. You are working really hard to make the diet and lifestyle changes I suggest and as a result are seeing the benefits. I will continue to work with you and support you until you have reached your goal, and beyond.
Fantastic experience: Having struggled with repeated chest infections and poor immunity, I was desperate to break the cycle. Amanda has changed the way I think about food and has given me a toolkit to stay well. Now my immunity is much improved - I have stayed well for 6 months now - and I also have more energy, and as a side effect my IBS has improved. I didn’t need to completely change my diet, just amended some aspects. I now have a number of delicious recipes to add to my repertoire. Highly recommended, highly knowledgeable and a lovely person to boot!
Many thanks for taking the trouble to leave me a review, it is much appreciated. I am so pleased to have been of help to you - you came with a "good diet" but have been really open and willing to make the small changes that have made the difference. You are also prepared to take targeted supplements to support your immune health, which I believe will help you to stay fit and well alongside the diet and lifestyle changes you have implemented. Well done keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I have been ill for a longtime with severe chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and multitude of other problems which have devastated my health. I haven’t been able to get the help to get better from the NHS - they just give me more drugs to manage my symptoms, and which make me if anything make me feel worse! I started to see Amanda over a year ago - I have really benefited from her help and advice, even though it has been hard for me to put in the place the changes she has suggested. I am making slow but real progress, and feel that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Amanda suggested several functional medicine tests, which has helped to get to the underlying causes of my problems, so she could give me the right supplements to take. My digestive symptoms are now completely gone, and my fatigue is much improved. There is still a lot to do to get me better, but I know Amanda will continue to give me the support I need to help me on my journey to health. I can not recommend Amanda highly enough if you suffer from CFS (chronic fatigue), digestive problems, or adrenal and thyroid problems.
Hi Anita, many thanks for taking the effort to leave a review for me. You have made many difficult changes with your diet and lifestyle, and slowly, but surely you are beginning to see the difference. With your determination, my support, and the help of your friends and family, I am sure that you will achieve better health.
Fantastic experience: I have lived all my life with Hashimoto thyroiditis. After doing some research to update myself on the medical side of it I realised that not only did I need help to work out how I could help myself with diet I also need to take charge of my health. I approached Amanda looking for guidance on managing the condition. Amanda immediately knew what to do. Working together with her and my doctors we soon got a good idea what was going on. The supplements Amanda suggested have helped hugely and combined with the dietary advice I feel better than ever. When it became clear there was a problem with my liver Amanda knew what to do to help the liver repair itself. Amanda has been on hand to answer questions and respond when I have updated her on the doctors notes. She is easy to talk to and has a warm natural manner. We still have a way to go yet but once things are sorted out I will continue to see Amanda for regular reviews. If you feel unwell, have a medical condition or just want to eat better do contact Amanda, you won't regret it.
Hi Sam, Many thanks for taking the trouble to post a review, it is very much appreciated. You have worked very hard to make the diet and lifestyle changes I suggested, and you committed yourself to doing functional medicine tests. The results of these tests, alongside the standard tests from your GP has enabled me to make very specific, targeted recommendations for supplements, which in your case have had a very positive effect on your health and wellbeing. Keep up the good work, and check in with me occasionally for support if you need it. All the best Amanda
Fantastic experience: Going to see Amanda has turned out to be a great decision, and I would highly recommend her service to anyone. I wanted to make better choices about my diet to improve my health and energy levels. Amanda has advised me on changes to my diet and vitamin supplements, and I now have so much more energy. I've lost a stone and a half as well, so really happy.
Libby, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review. You have taken onboard everything I have discussed with you, and have made significant changes, such that you are reaping the benefits with better health and wellbeing. Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Amanda really helped me understand the value of nutrition. All the information was broken down into bite size pieces so I could digest all that she was saying (no pun intended). Not only was the consultations full of informative advice, I was given lots of samples/fact sheets and recipes and also introduced to many foods I wouldn’t normally try. I went to Amanda with IBS issues and by the time our sessions were over I began to feel loads better. I would highly recommend Amanda for all things nutrition and Wellness.
Ben, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review for me. I am so pleased that you have benefited from my advice! I know that you have tried hard to make changes to your diet and to try new foods which were "outside your comfort zone", so well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I have been suffering from migraines that disrupt my work and life regularly. Amanda has been brilliant, she has listened and given me constructive advice. Since following her suggestions, the frequency and severity of my migraine attacks have fallen and I feel more confident. A highly recommended service! Just an update following my review above - 11 months on and I am still keeping well. This is all thanks to Amanda! We recently compared food diaries from my first submission to my current diet. The difference is amazing and I will never look back. I feel so much better and this is down to her knowledge and expertise.
Hi Hannah, Many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. You have taken on board all of my recommendations, and as a result feel so much better. Well done keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Amanda having suffered for several years with IBS-like symptoms. I had already established that I was lactose intolerant, but needed more support with worsening of my symptoms that were making me miserable, it seemed that I was becoming intolerant to more foods, resulting in severe bloating and other digestive symptoms. Because of the severity of my symptoms, Amanda suggested a functional stool analysis. When the results came back with evidence of inflammation and presence of dysbiotic bacteria, she wrote to my GP to ensure that this was appropriately followed up. I am very happy with the knowledgable and professional service that Amanda provided and would happily recommend her to others in a similar situation.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Amanda having suffered with severe IBS for over 10 years and having exhausted every solution offered to manage the condition by the NHS. Feeling at the end of my tether, Amanda has been incredibly helpful and supportive as we continue to work towards improving my chronic symptoms. She has suggested a range of improvements in my diet which have really helped as well as guiding me on how to eliminate potentially problem foods without losing important nutrients. Amanda is extremely well informed about IBS and is determined and thorough in her efforts to solve this complex issue. She takes time to listen and discuss how things are progressing and looks at symptoms holistically offering ideas to support me both physically and mentally recognising the distress and relaxed anxiety IBS brings. I would highly recommend Amanda as she offers excellent advice and support and can offer something over and above conventional medical practices.
Angela, many thanks for taking the trouble to post a review. I am really pleased that you are beginning to see improvements in your health. You have taken on board everything we talked about, and have been diligent and thorough, which has resulted in real, measurable benefits to your health. Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Amanda helped immensely to get my diabetes under control. Obviously it is up to me but her support and recommendations helped me to change the foods I eat and subsequently the doctor congratulated me and said "You no longer have diabetes." I doubt it is as simple as this and I will be eating carefully - more of a mediterranean diet - for the rest of my life.
Fantastic experience: Prior to getting ill I was a very active, healthy person running or doing some form of exercise most days. I first went to see Amanda in August after suffering from post viral fatigue for 3 months with my GP’s being unable to help. I was struggling with every aspect of my life & for the first time in 14 years I had to take time off work & I found a 10 minute walk to the park a struggle. I had some functional hormone tests to assess my female hormones and my stress hormones (DUTCH Complete) done in September & have followed a supplement plan since with monthly visits in which Amanda shares lots of her knowledge & is very helpful. I have learnt a lot about health & wellbeing, I definitely have a different outlook on my health and wellbeing and will continue to work on my health moving forward. I have returned to doing a couple of runs a week & some yoga which is great. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who is struggling with their health.
Samantha, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. When you came to see me initially you were quite unwell, and struggling with being off work and not being able to exercise. You worked very hard and radically changed your diet, but were still struggling to see improvements in your health until we performed the functional tests. This enabled me to start you on a supportive supplement programme, which alongside the dietary changes, and the other lifestyle changes that you had incorporated (sleep and meditation etc) really had a big impact on your speed of recovery. You are still recovering and I will continue to support you until you are 100% (if not 110%!) fit and well. Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I went to Amanda with no energy, stubborn bowels and generally feeling rubbish. Through Amanda’s support, advice and recipes I have more energy, I am back at the gym and most importantly my bowels are back to normal.
Natalie, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review, it is very much appreciated. You have done the hard work, and made the changes I recommended, so keep it up, as you have seen the benefits of your efforts.
Fantastic experience: Following my husband's stroke, it was important to find out his nutritional status to help understand his cardiovascular health and future risk. Amanda arranged for comprehensive blood tests and gave clear dietary and supplement recommendations based on the results. We're looking forward to follow-up tests after 3 months to monitor his progress. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Amanda to anyone needing advice from a professional Nutrition Practitioner.
Sheila, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review, it's very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: For many years, sugar, caffeine and nicotine were the three main staples of my diet. The thought of the whole cooking process terrified me. Shopping, preparing, washing up and the taste of my own cooking! As a single person, I didn’t see the point of preparing food for myself, when I could just grab a Costa, or a Subway whilst I was on the go. Finally! I became sick of my own excuses. I realised that my health was not at its optimum. Tension headaches were almost a daily occurrence, and I couldn’t remember the last time that I managed a full 8 hours sleep. Tired of being tired, I decided that it was time to make drastic changes to my diet. After reading through Amanda’s positive feedback online, I decided that I would book in with her for a consultation. Amanda has a real flair for breaking information down, so that it is easy to comprehend. There is an abundance of nutrition resources available online, however, it is very difficult to know which healthy eating plan/diet to trust. The diet plan provided to me by Amanda, was simple and logical. This helped to relieve my apprehensions, as the diet plan seemed very realistic and achievable. Plus, I loved all the recipes that Amanda gave me to take home. Three weeks have passed since my first appointment with Amanda, and I am truly amazed at my progress. My physical and mental well-being have improved drastically, and I have found a new love for cooking! I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who has the desire to improve their diet, health and mental well-being.
Louise, Many thanks for taking the time to post a review. Isn't it amazing how a few simple changes can have a dramatic positive affect on your wellbeing? Well done for embracing everything I have asked you to do - you have done this wholeheartedly and as a result have had a really positive start to 2018. Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I started to see Amanda about digestive problems which I had been struggling with for over a year. Up to this point I had received very little help despite numerous visits to the doctors and my symptoms getting progresively worse (bloating, stomach distention, constipation, diarrhoea, stomach cramping which became very painful and got in the way of everyday life). The initial consultation was very thorough and I began to make changes to my diet and take a few supplements suggested by Amanda. After a few visits Amanda suggested I did a gut test, which I did. When I saw Amanda for the results, she explained them thoroughly and gave me a gut healing supplement plan to follow along with some changes to my diet. Amanda also suggested that I may have SIBO, after going to the doctors and asking to be tested, it came back positive. Without Amanda suggesting this, I would not have known to ask the doctors to test for it and probably still wouldn't know to this day. The information I received was always very helpful with realistic changes I could make to my diet and I am now on track to solving the problem. I would most certainly recommend Amanda to anyone struggling with digestive/gut problems.
Amy, many thanks for taking the effort to leave a review. Your experience has shown that it is possible to find solutions to digestive problems with the correct investigation and support.
Fantastic experience: I contacted Amanda after suffering with IBS for a number of years. Amanda’s advice has been invaluable and has allowed me to develop a much more positive relationship with food. Under Amanda’s guidance, I have gradually been able to make small changes to my existing diet and lifestyle. These small changes have helped me manage my IBS symptoms and improve my overall wellbeing. Amanda doesn’t just tell you what to eat but explains why, something I have found really interesting and which has made my diet and lifestyle changes easier to apply and stick to. I would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone struggling with IBS.
Sarah, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review. I am so pleased that you are seeing the benefit of the diet and lifestyle changes I recommended. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: After receiving blood tests which confirmed I had a high rheumatoid factor, I contacted Amanda to help as I had read that she had good reviews and experience in this area. It is still early days, but Amanda's nutrition and dietary recommendations have managed to help towards reducing inflammation. I am now in a better position to make better food choices along with Amanda's advice and support.
Amy, many thanks for taking the time to leave a review, you have made some really dramatic changes to your diet and lifestyle and are seeing the benefits. Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I've suffered from inflammatory bowel disease for over 12 years and over the last 18 months it's been much worse, then added to this my hair started to fall out. I really didn't want to go down the route of steroids or immuno-suppressants as suggested by my Doctor and so went to see Dr Ellwood. She was incredibly helpful and understanding and initially had me focusing on blood sugar balancing, wow it was fab, within a week I felt better and had more energy. Over the last 3 months she's progressively introduced new concepts and ideas to improve my inflammatory bowel disease and totally changed the way I eat, what I eat and how I eat it. I'm better than I've been in the last few years, my condition has improved considerably and my hair is growing back and I feel great. As a bonus I've also lost 12lbs, but more importantly I'm well and eating a wonderfully nutritious diet and really enjoying it.
Sue, many thanks for taking the effort to leave a review, it is greatly appreciated, particularly as you have made the changes I suggested and it demonstrates that diet really does make a difference in your health and wellbeing! Well done, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Since seeing Amanda, changing to a better diet, and using suggested supplements, I feel so much more alive, happier and more optimistic about my life. I realise now that the gut plays a BIG part in our overall health and wellbeing. I can't thank her enough.
Thomas, many thanks for making the effort to leave a review. I am so pleased that I have been able to support you to make the changes to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing. Well done for working hard and embracing the changes I have recommended!
Negative experience: I left my original message too early. The problem I went to Amanda with recurred just days after leaving a good review and Amanda failed to heal my Candida over a long period of trying various ways and at a high cost to my pocket. I can't recommend her for healing Candida. You may as well go online and research it yourself. There are lots of plans online.
It is disapppointing that you feel the need to leave such negative feedback. In my role as a nutrional therapist I can either diagonose nor heal. I can help a client to make better food choices and explore options to acheive better health and wellbeing. Following functional testing in NOV 2016, you were found to have candida and intestinal dysbiosis. I recommended a supplement programme. Your last visit to see me was in April 2017. You had not been compliant with the diet or supplement recomendations and have not had a consultation to discuss your health goals since then. Therefore it is inappropriate for you to leave me this review. I believe the reason why you have left me this negative review is because you didn't pay for some supplements that I ordered at your request. Despite many attempts to settle this amicably you refused to pay for the goods you ordered and I was forced to issue at a lawyers letter.
Fantastic experience: Wow! I never realised how much a nutritionist can impact your life in such a positive way! I have had severe GERD for two years now and at 38 I feel so young to have such a condition. I always thought I ate well so struggle to understand why I am so severely affected by something that is normally associated with an older generation. The medication that I am taking is now impacting the rest of my body, my digestion, my joints, my muscles, my wellbeing and my confidence. The final straw was a few weeks ago when I went to see a stomach surgeon - it truly scared me. I wanted to explore all my options before I went through with it. . So one last shot - I looked Amanda up on Google (reviews are so important!) and have visited twice in four weeks, my reflux symptoms have settled dramatically, my stomach is the flattest it has been in years as the bloated, painful stomach that I had become so used to has completely disappeared - I would never have believed it! My confidence is already growing as I feel the power in my own hands and it is down to me to make my body well. Thank you so much Amanda!
Victoria, many thanks for posting this review, it is very much appreciated. You highlight a very important point -our health is in our own hands, and we can take control and dramatically improve our own wellbeing by making relatively small changes to our diet and lifestyle, and on occasion taking appropriate, supportive nutritional supplements that can help us with the healing process. Well done for the changes you have made so far, and keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Amanda's advice has been invaluable. She has the knowledge to get to the root of health issues and provide a plan that is sustainable long term.
Zoe, Many thanks for taking the time to post a review. I am so pleased that my support has had a positive impact on your health and wellbeing.
Positive experience: Amanda is an excellent nutritionist. She was always considerate and supportive and offered a wealth of knowledge on nutritional health. My goals changed during my time with her but I have found that she has greatly assisted me with the main health issues that I have had and taken a lot of care over the work that she does. I wasn't able to afford to continue sessions, but would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
Fantastic experience: I came to Amanda as a last resort for my skin issues specifically but also a few other problems that were really getting me down, and my life has been pretty much transformed. I got lots of help in terms of testing, diet, recipe and meal plans, supplementation etc, and I was really happy with the service she provided. Highly recommended!
Many thanks for taking the time to post a review, it is much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: After struggling with my mental/physical health for years I decided to seek some professional help,after doing some of my own research I decided that a nutritionist would be a good place to start,amanda stood out with her amazing reviews,after meeting with her I knew she would be able to help me with my goals,in the short time I have been seeing amanda I have gained so much and had so many questions answered as to why I was feeling the way I was,diet,sleep,relaxation she has covered pretty much everything,amanda is very attentive and has a vast knowledge of well-being,since ive been working with amanda It has had a massive positive affect on my life,I would highly recommend her to anyone going through similar problems,thanks amanda.
Clint, many thanks for the review - you have taken on board on all of my suggestions, and you are putting in the hard work to ensure your recovery. You were wiling to undertake some further functional testing, which has enabled me to give you specific diet, lifestyle, and a targeted supplementation programme, and this had really made a huge difference to helping you to achieve your wellbeing goals.
Fantastic experience: I initially contacted Amanda over a year ago as I had been suffering with severe hair loss for over 6 months, experiencing digestive problems, feeling down and constantly fatigued along with numerous other symtoms. Amanda is very experienced and helpful, much more so than any GP I have seen. She has helped me to adapt my diet and lifestyle to make healthier choices and along with various supplements i am now feeling much better and have much for energy. Unfortunately we still havent found out what is causing my hair loss, but hopefully we will get there in the end. I would definately recommend Amanda to anyone who wants an alternative approach to medicine as she aims to treat the cause not just the symptom and is so helpul and supportive along the way.
Julie, Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for me, it is very much appreciated! I know it is frustrating re your hair loss - hopefully we will get there in the end! Keep doing what you are with your food and lifestyle recommendations! Best wishes Amanda
Fantastic experience: I engaged with Amanda as I had been taking prescription medicine for digestive issues for years and was unable to live comfortably without them. I wanted a natural remedy and moreso I wanted to cure the cause instead of the effect. A few tests later and we started to see the results and I now have not taken 1 prescription drug for over 6 months!! I can highly recommend if you want down to earth and straight talking help from someone who has a passion for all things nutrition and wellbeing.
Peter, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave me a review. It's great that the changes in your eating habits as well your lifestyle has resulted in a positive outcome. I am pleased that I am able to continue to support you in your goals for longterm health!
Fantastic experience: My goal was to get advice with respect to Diabetes II and other health concerns, in the initial Amanda was very helpful and supportive with lots of practical advice on where to begin my journey hopefully back to health. I am sure Amanda will help me achieve my goal once the basics she has suggested have kicked in. I have gained more in one session than years with other "therapist's" so I thoroughly recommend taking sometime to talk to Amanda.
Steve, Many thanks for posting your review, it is very much appreciated. As you have already realised change needs to come from you, so I can give you the advice, but you need to do it! I wish you the very best of luck with making the first steps towards good health, and will continue to support you if you need my help.
Fantastic experience: Amanda is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and has an excellent way of delivering information which made my diet and lifestyle changes clear and simple for me to understand and apply easily. So far this has had a hugely incredible impact on my quality of life and anxiety levels. She is helping me restore my confidence within food and regain my health after illness. She has given me a lot of hope and confidence that I am going fully recover and gain a very intuitive, positive relationship with food. I am very much looking forward to continuing working with her.
Georgia, Many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review. You have made a really good start in making the steps towards better health and wellbeing and to having a 'normal' relationship with food. Keep it up, and keep the changes small and simple!
Fantastic experience: I took my 14 year old daughter to see Amanda a few times. She really helped her to learn about healthy eating habits and educated her as to which foods to eat and when. This has enabled her to get down to a healthier weight.
Susanna, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave me a review. I am glad that I could have been some assistance to your daughter, and that she has been successful in her goal to lose weight and to develop a good understanding of the way to eat for life!
Fantastic experience: After contracting food poisoning in Egypt 11 years ago, I went on to develop Helicobacter Pylori Gut Infection shortly afterwards. This has plagued my life for over a miserable decade. Years of antibiotics to rid of the reoccurring gut infection added to my already number of growing digestive problems. I had done a lot of research over the years and believed Candida was playing a big part in what was going on with my ‘insides’. After a second opinion, another consultant also dismissed my beliefs and I was given the classic diagnoses of IBS and told to basically get on with life. I was not settling for this but did not know where else to turn. I was at an all-time low when my daughter researched and found Amanda on line for me. I can honestly say within two weeks after my first appointment with Amanda; I began to see a significant improvement! We discussed what my goals were to be and one of them was to be able to stay with my daughter and grandchildren without fear or stress. Not going into details but IBS sufferers will know what I am talking about. I can tell you that that goal came true very quickly and it was such a joy to stay at their home in Devon and not fret. Amanda suggested the CDSA Test (stool sample) which can test for numerous things including Candida. I did the test and I proved positive for Candida. Amanda also believes it can be a contributing factor, which for me was a huge relief that someone was listening to me and her listening skills are definitely one of her many qualities! I am now currently on a 3 month supplement plan to rid the Candida. Amanda has been honest and explained I might get worse before I get better due to the nature of the supplements. This has not fazed me as she has been available for support and advice between my appointments. I do not know how she finds the time to give 100% to patients as well as having a family! Amanda is like a Duracell battery that just keeps going on and on! Must be down to all that healthy eating! I would recommend Amanda like a shot to anyone as she really will change your life if you are committed like she is! Jay Gadsden Osborne
Jane, many thanks for taking the trouble to post the review. What's so good is that you really understand that change and healing comes from you, You have taken on board everything we have discussed and have made the diet and lifestyle changes I have suggested. Keep it up! Amanda
Fantastic experience: I contacted Amanda by phone as I was having problems with my digestion. She immediately put me at ease and I made an appointment to see her. Amanda is very well qualified and experienced. She is able to share her very in-depth knowledge in an understandable way. She helped me to understand what was happening in my gut and the foods that would alleviate my symptoms. Amanda has also been able to help me with other aspects of my health. Since meeting Amanda I have made significant changes to my diet and as well as feeling so much better, I feel I have a much increased understanding of the relationship between food and health. I am so pleased to have met Amanda and I feel reassured knowing that I can contact her and tap in to her knowledge in the future! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing nutritional advice.
Thanks Lucy for leaving a review. I'm really pleased to have helped you.
Fantastic experience: Amanda has really helped me to improve my health and digestion in the last few months. I have had a number of different health problems, including CFS/ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), Hyper and Hypo Thyroid, autoimmune and IBS. I have seen nutritionists in the past who have made changes to my diet that have exacerbated symptoms and made me feel worst. Amanda is very knowledgeable of these conditions, she has guided me to make dietary and lifestyle changes in a careful and considered approach so everything has been well tolerated. Her advice has been very practicable and I have been able to implement it in to my life easily. She has always been available for support between appointments if I have any questions. I am feeling much better, stronger and more resilient and it is such a relief to have my digestive system getting back on track! Highly recommended.
Alice, many thanks for taking the trouble to leave a review. I am so pleased that I have been able to help you. You are very committed to achieving wellness, and work really hard to to make the changes that I have recommended. You are really making fantastic progress, despite some minor set backs, which are very common for those in your situation. Nevertheless you have persevered, trusted me, and as a result you are reaping the benefits!
Fantastic experience: I first went to see Amanda after I was diagnosed with Crohn's. She has been consistently amazing & supportive through my journey! Always explaining everything in depth and really making me feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. With thanks to Amanda, I am now in remission and have a solid understanding of what my body needs and how to take care of my self. I would 100% recommend Amanda! Thank you so much.
Thank you Leoni for taking the trouble to post this. You have worked extremely hard with your nutrition and lifestyle and as a result have reaped the benefits, so keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I went to Amanda early last year after I had been diagnosed with a heart condition as I wanted to try and tackle the source of the problem rather than take medications that suppressed symptoms. Amanda acknowledged I already had a good diet but explained how my body worked and what I needed to do to change things. I have followed her dietary advice and taken supplements the suggested and have halved my bad cholesterol and increased the good by over 100%. I generally feel better and have more energy.
Thank you for leaving a review. It has been a privilege working with you to see the real difference it has made to your health and wellbeing. To see an improvement in your cholesterol (reduction on LDL and dramatic increase in HDL) is testimony that dietary modifications and appropriate supplements can work!
Fantastic experience: I met Amanda on her visit to South Africa. I was concerned about my cholesterol numbers as they were high and I did not have a good understanding of the numbers and what they meant. Amanda and I skyped a few weeks after her visit to South Africa and she was excellent in her advice and knowledge and she assisted me in a holistic manner. I now know how to work on getting my bad cholesterol numbers down and good cholesterol numbers up. Amanda also enlightened me that it is not all about cholesterol but also about other factors in the body which could contribute to cardiovascular disease, such as clotting factors etc. I am extremely pleased with Amanda's approach and willingness to help. I highly recommend her.
Thanks Mandy, I was more than happy to help. There are so many misconceptions and misunderstanding about cholesterol. Your Drs will not remember to tell you that having cholesterol is ESSENTIAL for life! Understanding how things work in your body will help you to make better informed decisions about your own health, and will enable you to make the right choices on food / nutrition / lifestyle that are right for you!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to get my blood sugars down as they had been steadily rising and all of a sudden they shot up. I went to see Amanda and she was very clear about what I needed to do. She gave me a lot of information about healthy eating and got me to do some tests to check my overall health. I was very pleased with what she did although I unconsciously fought against her. Eventually realising that I was only going to reach my goal if I listened and then put into practice what she was recommending. I brought my blood sugars down from 7.5 to 7.1 and intend to keep going. I also lost 7lb and feel so much better. I had reduced medications and can now sleep well without taking anything. Try her out she is amazing.
Many thanks May for taking the time to leave a review. I know that you found it very hard to to make the changes that I recommended - It meant that you had to change the way you thought about food - but you have achieved a lot and will continue to do so if you stick with it! Sleeping better is a major success! Well done keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I have been consulting Amanda for 5 months or so now. I am being treated by the NHS for cancer (radiotherapy) and wanted to give myself the best chances for survival (!!) so needed GOOD input on supplements and especially nutrition which the NHS do not seem cover at all. I have found Amanda clear thinking and took me thro' a series of stages that addressed issues like digestion/ quality of immune system/ quality of nutrient intake and a specific low carbohydrate+high fat diet (LCHF: cancer cells love glucose) that initially seemed challenging but now seems second nature - and a whole world out there agrees with the appropriateness of this LCHF diet. If you are introduced to this diet, stick with it! I now feel that I am doing all I can to survive (sorry to be so dramatic!) and ironically I have rarely felt healthier than I do now. Long may it continue. I can heartily recommend Amanda
William, many thanks for your review - it shows that you have been in the 'driving seat' and I have been the 'navigator / co pilot' - you have followed my advice and now are feeling the best you have ever been! You got through a gruelling course of radiotherapy relatively unscathed, I'm sure in part due to the diet and lifestyle changes that you fully embraced - you have worked incredibly hard to change your old habits and imbed new habits that will keep you healthy and strong. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Very interesting and informative which made me really think about my current diet and lifestyle.
David, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I am glad you found the seminar helpful!
Fantastic experience: I attended a talk by Amanda recently which was really interesting and thought-provoking. The diet choices she advocates are mainly common sense (and inexpensive) and should be relatively easy to follow if one has the required self-discipline and motivation. Amanda's style of delivery was down to earth and succinct. It made me realise that all the exercise in the world won't move me towards my health & fitness goals if I sabotage my efforts by poisoning my body with the bad stuff!
Jeremy, many thanks for taking the trouble to post a review, it is much appreciated! I am pleased that you found the talk provoking, good luck with making the change to eating REAL food!
Fantastic experience: Very informative talk. Amanda is obviously passionate about what she does and it shows. I have adopted quite a few things since, especially regarding her advice around fat intake. Very engaging and knowledgeable.
Amanda, thank you for taking the trouble to write a review, many thanks
Fantastic experience: I met Amanda at a corporate seminar where she was presenting. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and certainly gives you food for thought! I believe her guidance will help a great many people.
Helen, Thanks for leaving me this review - it is much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Amanda worked with me to overhaul my diet as i was going through the menopause.This gave me much more energy and motivation. I had also suffered from acne rosacea for a few years and she helped me to connect the symptoms with my diet. I found her knowledgable, friendly and very professional. She arranged a barrage of tests that were not available through my doctor which helped us understand my symptoms. i now know how to control the rosacea and which foods can trigger it. I am in regular contact with Amanda and find her very helpful, both for me and my teenage boys. i would definitely recommend her.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Amanda after feeling extremely fatigued and not getting anywhere with my GP. Amanda referred me for tests and I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue. Through nutritional advice and supplements, I was able to manage my symptoms and I now have much more energy. Amanda has supported me throughout and I would highly recommend her, she is currently helping my mum through Chemo and the advice and support couldn't be better. Thanks :-)
Joanne, Many thanks for your review. I appreciate you taking the time to write this. I am very pleased that you have been able to make a good recovery from your health challenge. Adrenal Fatigue is poorly recognised, however, you can make a full recovery with diet and lifestyle changes. Using the Adrenal Stress test enabled me to make specific supplementation recommendations that were an important part of your recovery .
Fantastic experience: Before I came to see Amanda; I was struggling to lose weight and suffered from constant fatigue and had an unhealthy liking for sugary snacks. After years of unsuccessful dieting; I sought advice from Amanda who helped me to understand how my body was responding to irregular eating patterns and poor nutritional choices. I had two very informative sessions; the information provided has enabled me to develop and maintain a new relationship with food......... I no longer crave sugary snacks and I am finally seeing a difference on the scales J. Whilst I still have some way to go; I am confident that I will achieve my goal as a result of what I have learnt whilst working with Amanda. For anyone out there who is struggling with weight management and fatigue, I highly recommend a visit to Amanda. Thank you for your services Amanda Pamela
Fantastic experience: My wife referred me to Amanda after seeing the benefits of her dietary advice. In my case, the priority was to manage my issues with gout. Having endured a number of painful flare-ups in the previous year, I was consulting with my GP when I met Amanda. I was reluctant to take the medical advice of long-term treatment with allopurinol with the inherent risk of side effects. Amanda reviewed and modified my diet and recommended a number of natural supplements. To my great relief, this has to date completely overcome the issues I was having. I live close by so can meet with Amanda at her home but I would recommend to any gout sufferer that lives further afield the potentially great value of consultations via Skype.
Hi Steve, Many thanks for your review, you have worked hard to make the changes that I recommended, and as a result you are reaping the benefits of better health! Gout can be managed very well with changes in diet and lifestyle, and the are some good evidenced-based supplements that can really help to keep the blood levels of uric acid under control. Well done and keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: I was approximately 6 stones over weight but more importantly my fasting blood glucose levels for last couple of years were getting close to a diagnosis of type-2 diabetes. I had lost weight in the past (it always came back on) but this time I wanted to lose weight properly but with a focus on reducing my blood glucose level to outside of the danger zone for developing diabetes. On searching the internet I came across Amanda, and after an initial phone conversation decided to go along to see if she could help me. She helped me to specify clearly what my targets were, and through a detailed history of my lifestyle was able to educate and motivate me over a period of about 6 months. I managed to lose close to 4 stones, but more importantly my blood glucose fell from around 6.5 to 4.7. She is very knowledgable about how the body deals with differing foods and what foods to look out for for improved health. She clearly keeps up to date with all relevant research into how diets affect health, and was the first to raise to me the issue of sugar in our diets. Her mantra was 'fat is your friend' (within reasonable limits) and this is now gaining much more credibility in the scientific and medical world. In the last year I did start to experience some weight gain, but went back to the information and recipes that Amanda provided, and I was able to re-motivate myself to do the right thing, such that I lost the weight I had gained. Amanda always stressed this is not about dieting, but about a change in lifestyle and habits - and she is absolutely right in this. Amanda comes across as very pleasant and professional, and is incredibly supportive. I would encourage anyone wanting to lose weight in a proper, evidence-based way, to get in touch with Amanda. Thanks for putting me on the right path to healthy eating!
Mark, thank you for your review - at the end of the day it you that have made the changes that has enabled you to loose weight, and you now have the tools to carry on with the programme for life - so that your weight loss is maintained and both your weight and blood sugar levels remain stable over the long-term. 95% of weight loss diets fail because people go back to their old eating habits when they have lost weight, so all the weight lost is regained. If you a make long-term commitment to changing in the way you eat and the way you live your life you can be successful! Well done and keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I came to see Amanda because I had Fibromyalgia and fatigue. I can't recommend her work enough. She made a huge difference to my life. She helped me change my life style by giving me good sound advice how to eat well to reduce my symptoms. I didn't have to eat anything weird or spend loads of money, I just stopped eating what I didn't need and wasn't good for me. Also she suggested some really good supplements to support my condition which really worked. I am now feeling so much better and can keep my symptoms at bay by eating well, taking some really good supplements and managing my stress levels. A big vote of support and thanks to Amanda.
Steffy, Many thanks for posting this review, i am so pleased that I was able to help with your health challenge of fibromyalgia and fatigue, and will happily continue to support you, as it really reassures me that what I do can really make a difference to people's lives!
Fantastic experience: In one short session Amanda made some fairly simple adjustments to my diet that have had a big impact. Taking a recommended Vitamin D tablet in the winter months has really helped this year. I also now start my day with the juice of 2 lemons and hot water. This seems to have make me more alert and I also seem to pick up fewer colds. There's lots more I could tell you but the best thing to do is to give her a call. If you're like me and care about reducing the likelihood of illness and also keeping your energy levels high then Amanda is excellent value.
Mark, Thanks for the review, I am glad that I could help!
Fantastic experience: I started working with Amanda for my 10 year old autistic son about 10 months ago .He was very underweight for his age as he had little interest in food .He also displayed severe challenging behavior frequently .He also seemed to be ill every 6 weeks with a cold …meaning a week off school every half term ! The changes I have seen are quite amazing !He is positively thriving now !He has put on weight and is more robust .His immune system has had a tremendous boost ,and he has not been ill for months .Also his challenging behavior has decreased immensely ,as he seems overall such a happier child !Huge thanks Amanda …life is good now !!
