About M.E. & You Living

​

M.E. & You Living was created to support people whose illness doesn't always show clearly on paper — but profoundly shapes their daily lives.

​

My work is grounded in:

• Professional training in nutrition, immunity, and metabolism

• Registration with the Royal Society for Public Health

• A deep respect for the complexity of chronic fatigue conditions, particularly ME/CFS

 

Above all, I believe people deserve to be listened to, believed, and supported with care, especially when standard systems have not provided answers.

​

M.E. & You Living was born from lived experience.

​

When my son Elliot became severely ill with ME/CFS as a teenager, we were told there was no treatment — only energy management and antidepressants.

 

Despite a profound decline, his tests were repeatedly described as "normal”, and support stopped there.

​

During the years I spent caring for him, I immersed myself in understanding nutrition, immunity, metabolism, and biochemistry under the guidance of an experienced biochemist — not to replace medical care, but to look more closely at what might be missed when we rely only on broad lab ranges.

​

As Elliot recovered and rebuilt his life, I trained to Level 5 in Nutrition, Immunity & Metabolism, and became registered with the Royal Society for Public Health.

​

Today, I support others living with fatigue and ME/CFS using a gentle, nutrition-focused approach that respects complexity, fragility, and the reality of long-term illness.

​

MY SPECIALISM: NUTRITION​

Nutrition support for complex and fragile systems

​

My primary focus is nutrition, with specialist training in nutrition, immunity, and metabolism.

​

I hold:

• Level 5 qualifications in Nutrition, Immunity & Metabolism

• Registration with the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH)

 

This means my work is:

• Evidence-informed

• Ethically grounded

• Focused on safety, scope, and individual needs

 

I specialise in:

• Interpreting blood and functional test results using optimal ranges, not just broad laboratory reference values

• Exploring nutritional patterns that may be contributing to fatigue, immune strain, or metabolic stress

• Supporting nourishment in ways that are gentle, realistic, and non-restrictive

• Working carefully where supplement sensitivity or very low energy is present

 

Everything is adapted to what your body can tolerate — not what a protocol demands.

 

HOW I WORK

Careful, compassionate, and within scope

​

My approach is particularly suited to people with severe ME/CFS, where pushing or over-intervention can do more harm than good.

 

I work:

• Alongside medical care, never instead of it

• Within the professional scope of nutrition and health coaching

• With a strong respect for post-exertional malaise and nervous system sensitivity

 

There are no cure claims, no pressure to “fix” yourself, and no expectation that your body should behave like a healthy one.
