About Lauren

Nutritional Biochemistry BSc , Medical Molecular Biology MSc, Nutritional Practitioner DLN, Institute of Functional Medicine certified Health Coach and Olfaction therapy trainer (IPF)

I am an accredited Nutritionist, Living Practitioner and Certified IFM health coach based in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. 

My interest in nutrition began when I was just 16 years old when I attended a lecture by Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition. Since then, it has become a lifelong passion. I went on to complete a BSc in Nutritional Biochemistry (University go Nottingham (2001)) and then an MSc in Medical Molecular Biology (University of Westminster (2008)). In the early 2000’s I worked at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute where I contributed to The Human Genome Project and later studied the genetics of Obesity.

In the last 12 years I have worked for a number corporate companies Sales Executive. The fast-pace and high pressure environment of the corporate world often took its toll on my health.  Stress, lack of sleep and reliance on stimulants culminated in weight gain, hormonal disturbances, bloating and low energy. I subsequently started early menopause at the age of 37. 

On my own personal journey I have used my knowledge in nutrition coupled with mind-body medicine to address and fix hormonal imbalances including perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, anxiety and stress.

With dietary intervention, I lost the excess weight I had gained, I no longer suffered with chronic insomnia and my hormonal hot flashes abated. I actually gained more energy and vitality, my strength and endurance increased and my anxiety and mood vastly improved.

I have created my Functional Medicine Nutrition and Wellness platform to assist people in their personal wellness journey.

I want to help you achieve your personal health goals and facilitate self-growth.  My nutritional assessment, in-depth analysis and IFM coaching programs will help you identify the core challenges and setbacks in your life, so that you can overcome them with confidence.

I am certified by the IFMCA to coach clients in these areas to facilitate their self-growth. 

If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands or if you simply have specific health goals you want to achieve, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation. I also teach techniques to better manage the emotional stresses of everyday life.
