Gentle, nutrition-focused support for fatigue, ME/CFS, and complex symptoms

At M.E. & You Living, nutrition is at the heart of my work.

​

I support people living with severe fatigue, ME/CFS, and long-term unexplained symptoms, particularly when test results are described as “normal” but clearly don't reflect how unwell someone feels.

​

My approach is careful, compassionate, and grounded in professional training, with a strong awareness of how fragile and sensitive many bodies are after prolonged illness.

Who This Support Is For

This nutrition support may be right for you if you:

  • Live with ME/CFS or severe, persistent fatigue

  • Feel there may be a nutritional, immune, or metabolic piece being missed

  • Have test results that sit “within range” but don’t align with your symptoms

  • Are sensitive to food, supplements, or interventions

  • Need a gentle, paced approach that respects post-exertional malaise

 

You do not need to be improving, motivated, or “ready to change” to work with me.

​

We work at the pace your body allows.

My Nutrition Focus

I am Level 5 qualified in Nutrition, Immunity & Metabolism and registered with the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH).

​

My nutrition work focuses on:

  • Supporting nourishment in the context of chronic illness

  • Understanding how nutrition interacts with immune and metabolic stress

  • Reducing unnecessary strain on already overloaded systems

 

​​There are no restrictive diets, no extremes, and no pressure to “optimise” a body that is struggling to cope.

Working With Test Results

One area I specialise in is interpreting test results using optimal ranges, rather than relying only on broad laboratory reference values.

Standard lab ranges are designed to identify disease.

​

They do not always reflect what is optimal for function — especially in people with fatigue, immune stress, or neurological symptoms.

​

Where appropriate, I can help you:

  • Understand what your results may be suggesting in real-world terms

  • Explore whether levels that are technically “normal” may still be sub-optimal for you

  • Make sense of complex or confusing reports without medical jargon

​​

This work is always:

  • Evidence-informed

  • Within professional scope

  • Intended to support, not replace, medical care

    Food, Supplements, and Sensitivity

    Many people with ME/CFS and severe fatigue are highly sensitive

     to foods, supplements, and even well-intentioned advice.

    ​

    I work carefully with:

    • Food choices that prioritise tolerance and nourishment

    • Supplements only where appropriate, and never aggressively

    • Introducing or adjusting support slowly and cautiously, if at all

    ​​

    If something feels too much for your system, we stop.

     

    Your body sets the pace.

    How We Work Together

    Nutrition support is offered through 1:1 health coaching, delivered in a way that respects low energy and cognitive fatigue.

    ​

    Sessions are:

    • Calm and unhurried

    • Adapted to your capacity on the day

    • Focused on clarity rather than overwhelm

    ​​

    Between sessions, I aim to keep information simple, relevant, and manageable — not another thing for you to cope with.

    What This Support Is - And Isn't

    This nutrition support:

    ​

    • ✔️ Is grounded in professional nutrition training

    • ✔️ Works alongside your GP or consultant

    • ✔️ Respects the complexity of ME/CFS

    • ✔️ Prioritises safety, gentleness, and lived experience

    It does not:

    • Replace medical diagnosis or treatment

    • Promise cures or recovery timelines

    • Use aggressive protocols or “one-size-fits-all” plans

    A Gentle First Step

    If you’re wondering whether nutrition-focused support might be helpful for you, we can begin with a free, no-pressure introductory conversation.

    There is no obligation — just space to talk things through and see if this feels like the right fit.
