Food Steps
 

PLSChange your diet, change your life is my motto and it certainly works. Even a few simple changes to your daily diet can make a positive improvement to how you feel and the way that your body works. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.

My story begins in 1998. I had spent the year feeling generally unwell; I gained weight, was tired and irritable, and had headaches almost everyday. I went to the doctor but although she was sympathetic she could find nothing wrong with me. I might have remained feeling that way to this day if a local chemist had not been offering a free test for food intolerances.

The results suggested I was intolerant to cheese, mushrooms and yeast. At first I could not see the link between these three foods, but I was advised to buy a book on Candida Albicans. I bought the book and took it home to read: and as I read it I cried. It described exactly how I had been feeling for months, and even told me what I could begin to do about it. It was a great weight off my mind to discover that I was not alone and that something could be done about my symptoms. The relief was enormous!

I began the anti-candida diet and anti-fungal program while my husband was on his annual trip to India – when he returned after three weeks he hardly recognized me. I had lost weight and the puffiness around my face had disappeared. More importantly, I was feeling better: no more headaches and irritability.

But that was just the first step. I had made a good start but found I couldn’t continue without help from an experienced Nutrition Therapist. In searching for a therapist I discovered the Institute of Optimum Nutrition and the following year enrolled as a student – giving up my teaching job the year after that. My goal is to provide people with the kind of relief that I felt when I first picked up that book on Candida Albicans and offer help for people with chronic, debilitating, but unexplained symptoms. Change your diet, change your life.

I qualified as a Nutrition Therapist two years ago and today I work in three clinics in South Yorkshire as a Nutrition Consultant. Information can be found on the Clinic page. I am writing a book for parents and teachers of pupils with ADHD and other behaviour and cognitive disorders. I speak at Conferences and run training programmes. I also teach meditation for stress reduction and can combine this with nutrition to provide a corporate package aimed at reducing absenteeism through stress related disorders. Information about all of these can be found on the Training page.

Before becoming a Nutrition Therapist I was a schoolteacher for 20 years, firstly teaching science and then working with children with special needs. I set up and ran a unit within a mainstream comprehensive for children whose problems and poor behaviour put them at risk of exclusion. I trained teachers on the management of these pupils and worked with parents helping them to develop coping strategies. In the final year of this work I was able to advise parents on nutrition and saw the immense benefit of combining my methods of behaviour management with proper nutrition and supplementation.
