Your story
What brought you here, what you have already tried and what a good day of eating looks like for you.
15–30
A normal week
The last few days of meals, shifts, sleep and shopping, from your photos or from memory.
30–40
Results and medicines
Blood results, clinic letters, medicines and supplements, read against what you eat.
40–60
Your first three changes
Three changes written down before you leave, and a date to check how they went.
What I help with.
Eight reasons people book.
Most people come with one of these, some with two. Each slate says how long the work usually takes, so you can plan the weeks around it.
usually 8–12 weeks
IBS and gut health
Bloating, urgency, a list of safe foods that keeps getting shorter: we test low-FODMAP properly, then bring foods back.
usually 3–6 months
Blood sugar
Prediabetes or type 2 diabetes: meals planned around your medicines, your working hours and the food you already like.
usually 6–8 weeks
Menopause
Sleep, hot flushes, bones and heart: what food can and can't change, alongside whatever your GP prescribes.
usually 3–4 months
PCOS
Regular meals that steady energy and cravings, without cutting out carbohydrates or weighing every portion.
usually 6–8 weeks
Family meals
One dinner for the whole table, including the child who eats four foods. No separate plates.
usually 4–6 weeks
Sport, for the rest of us
A first half marathon, Sunday five-a-side or the 06:15 swim: what to eat before, during and after.
usually 8–12 weeks
Cholesterol
Oats, beans, nuts and better fats added in, rather than foods taken away. We read your lipid results together.
usually 3–6 months
Calmer eating
Years of diets on and off? We rebuild regular meals and hunger cues. An eating disorder goes to a specialist team first.
We'll do your next shop together.
45 minutes, one stall at a time.
Every programme includes a Saturday walk round Halden Row market. We fill your bag for a real week, at the budget you set, and you take the list home. Outside London, the walk happens by video in your usual supermarket.

What stuck.
Months later.
Not a weight or a number: the one change people still make after we stop meeting. First names changed, shared with permission.
WEEK 2 · LUNCH AWAY FROM MY DESK
I'd cut out so much that lunch was rice cakes at my desk. We put foods back one at a time, and now I know my two triggers instead of guessing.
Priya, 41, IBS
WEEK 3 · BREAKFAST BEFORE THE VAN
I expected a list of banned foods. I got a breakfast I can make before the first job and a plan for the days I'm on site till seven.
Tom, 58, prediabetes
WEEK 4 · DINNER BEFORE 20:00
She asked how I was sleeping before she asked what I ate. The plan fits round the night sweats, not the other way round.
Funmi, 52, menopause
WEEK 4 · TOAST BACK ON THE TABLE
Every app told me to quit carbs. We kept the bread and changed what goes on it and beside it.
Aoife, 34, PCOS
WEEK 5 · LENTILS TWICE A WEEK
The market walk did it. I'd walked past the bean stall for ten years without knowing what to do with any of it.
Gareth, 63, cholesterol
MONTH 2 · ONE DINNER, FOUR PLATES
One of my two eats beige food only. We cook one dinner now, and nobody gets a separate plate.
Kasia, 39, family meals
On the stall this week.
Four ways to cook it.
The recipes start with what the stalls have now. At the end of October that means chard, leeks, apples and the last of the aubergines.
