Anna Haynes

Chronic and Complex Health Presentations
If you are living with a chronic or complex health condition, you may already have discovered just how difficult it can be to find someone who is prepared to stand back and look at the whole picture.

Perhaps you have symptoms affecting several different systems of the body. You may have collected diagnoses, test results and an ever-growing supplement cupboard, yet still feel that nobody has quite connected the dots.

Or perhaps you have been told that your results are "normal", despite knowing that you simply do not feel well.

Over nearly two decades in clinical practice, Anna has worked closely with chronically unwell clients whose health challenges rarely appear to arise from one single factor.

Instead, there may be a confluence of influences, including environmental toxicity, nutritional deficiencies, genomic predispositions, persistent viral loading, mitochondrial dysfunction and the physiological impact of prolonged or significant emotional trauma.

Complex health presentations require someone who is willing to look for the connections.

This is where Anna's work begins.

About Anna
Anna Haynes NT AFMCP is a registered and fully insured Nutritional Therapist with nearly two decades of clinical experience as a Functional Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Coach.

Anna supports clients with a wide range of health challenges but has developed a keen interest in working with those experiencing complex and chronic health presentations, including toxicity, persistent viral loading and viral reactivation, and fatigue syndromes where multiple factors may be contributing to the overall health picture.

Her practice has evolved over many years through working closely with chronically ill clients who struggle to heal because their health challenges may have arisen from a confluence of factors.

Anna is particularly interested in complex presentations involving mitochondrial and energy dysfunction, adrenal and stress-related imbalances, liver and detoxification pathways, digestive complaints, hormonal imbalances and the rarer spectrum of neurological and neuroimmune disorders.

Her strength lies in standing back and looking at the wider health picture, exploring how apparently disconnected symptoms, body systems and historical events may be interacting.

For Anna, the question is rarely simply: "What supplement treats this symptom?"

The more important question is often: "Why is this body struggling to restore balance in the first place?"

Anna is passionate about demystifying complex health presentations and helping her clients to better understand the connections between their symptoms and their wider health history.

She works internationally and offers consultations both online and in clinic, making it possible to access her clinical approach and specialist functional testing wherever you are based.

My Philosophy: Restoration, Release and Reset
Anna strongly believes that vibrant health and energy can only be achieved when the body's metabolic and nutritional needs are adequately met.

This provides the foundations required to support the repair and maintenance of organs, systems and tissues, allows detoxification pathways to function more effectively and supports the body's ability to adapt to life's inevitable physical, environmental and emotional stressors.

Anna describes her philosophy as: Restoration. Release. Reset.

RESTORATION: Supporting the body's nutritional and metabolic needs so that it has the raw materials required for energy production, repair and normal physiological function.

RELEASE: Exploring and, where appropriate, reducing the nutritional, environmental, physiological and emotional burdens that may be placing additional demands upon the body.

RESET: Supporting regulation, resilience and the body's capacity to adapt to life's inevitable stressors — regardless of the assault!

When these areas are considered together, a greater sense of cohesion and synergy can begin to develop throughout the body, supporting immune function, energy and overall health.

Furthermore, Anna believes that understanding why recommendations are being made is an important part of the process. Her aim is not simply to hand clients a supplement schedule. She strives to engage, inspire and empower her clients, helping them to become increasingly knowledgeable about their own health and the factors that may be influencing it.

IN-PERSON CLINIC
Anna has developed a unique clinical style that combines a multidisciplinary and holistic approach for clients who are able and willing to travel.

Her in-person clinical practice is informed by three decades of extensive training and experience in both clinical practice and holistic health modalities, which support and complement her Functional Nutrition clinic.

Modalities may include Systematic Kinesiology, Naturopathic Detoxification, functional laboratory testing, Genomic Mapping, Bioresonance technologies including ASYRA/QEST4, Biofield Tuning, The Emotion Code, PSYCH-K® and EFT.

Anna's approach is highly individualised. The combination of clinical tools and modalities used will depend upon the client's health presentation, history and individual needs.

The Process
Anna's structured process for new clients begins with three essential consultations designed to comprehensively evaluate your health symptoms, nutritional needs and supplement requirements, while beginning to address your immediate health priorities.

These initial sessions provide an important foundation and can begin to move your health forward.

However, when health challenges are chronic or complex, understanding and addressing the deeper factors involved will often require continued consultations, review and adjustment over time.

Before beginning, you will complete a detailed health questionnaire and undergo a comprehensive whole-body assessment.

Using the information gathered, Anna examines antecedents, triggers and mediators within your health history to explore the potential origins and drivers of nutritional and biochemical imbalances.

She will also evaluate the significance of relevant blood work and previous investigations and, where appropriate, may recommend functional or genomic testing through specialist laboratories and providers.

This may include genomic wellness panels from LifeCode GX, SmartDNA and other reputable sources.

Anna does not automatically begin every in-person case with Functional Laboratory or genomic testing. In many cases, the initial clinical assessment provides valuable direction.

However, in particularly complex health presentations, collaborating with specialist laboratories from the outset can provide important additional insights and really help to move the needle.

What You Will Receive From Your Initial Three NT Consultations
Your initial three-consultation programme may include:

• a comprehensive analysis of your health history
• a whole-body clinical assessment
• consideration of antecedents, triggers and mediators
• review of relevant blood results and previous investigations
• a personalised supplement schedule
• an individually assessed list of over 150 foods for tolerance
• personalised nutritional strategies
• practical detoxification strategies
• impactful lifestyle changes
• Brain Gym exercises where relevant
• emotional release techniques where appropriate
• recommendations for functional and/or genomic testing where clinically relevant
• a Welcome Pack bringing together the practical elements of your personalised programme.

The aim is not simply to identify individual imbalances or provide a disconnected list of recommendations. The aim is to bring the different pieces together into one coherent and highly personalised strategy.

ONLINE CLINIC
Anna has a particular interest in functional testing and other advanced health assessments when working with clients online, using these tools to help guide highly personalised, root-cause-focused nutritional programmes.

Her approach is evidence-informed and supportive, gaining clinically relevant insights into the unique aspects of your health, including your genomic predispositions and potential.

You will begin by completing a comprehensive health questionnaire and submitting all relevant, up-to-date blood work and previous investigations before your consultation.

Following your consultation, you will receive a written report containing personalised supplement recommendations and nutritional and lifestyle strategies.

Based upon the information gathered from your health history, consultation and existing results, Anna will consider the most appropriate functional and/or genomic testing for your individual case and health goals.

Testing is selected according to the individual rather than applied as a standard package.

Anna combines her clinical insights with relevant laboratory and genomic data to identify patterns and create practical strategies tailored to your individual needs, helping to advance your health journey.

A Collaborative Approach
Whether you choose to work with Anna in person or online, she values a collaborative relationship with her clients.

Anna particularly enjoys working with people who are genuinely interested in understanding their health and the connections within their own health story.

Her role is to investigate, demystify, educate and guide, while helping clients translate complex health information into practical nutritional and lifestyle changes that are realistic for their individual lives.

You do not need to be perfect, and health improvement is rarely a perfectly straight line.

However, the greatest progress is generally made when recommendations can be implemented, programmes reviewed and adjusted, and the work allowed to evolve as the body and health picture change.

In return for your engagement and commitment to the process, Anna will strive to provide engaging, inspiring and motivating support, alongside personalised strategies designed to help move your health journey forward.

Functional and Genomic Testing
Anna works with a wide range of specialist functional and genomic testing providers, including Genova Diagnostics, ArminLabs, Regenerus, MMD, Doctor's Data, Cyrex, ODX, LifeCode GX, SmartDNA, SelfDecode and DNApal.

Functional testing is not used simply for the sake of testing.

The value lies in selecting investigations that may provide clinically relevant information and then considering those findings within the context of your wider health history and presentation.

Many tests can be completed easily and in the privacy of your own home using urine, saliva, hair or finger-prick blood samples. Where a venous blood draw is required, this may be arranged through an appropriate phlebotomy service.

Popular Functional Tests for Chronic and Complex Health Presentations
Testing may include:

• viral markers, including Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HHV-6
• selected spike protein antibody and loading investigations, alongside assessment of associated viral reactivation
• mitochondrial and energy-related assessments
• Kryptopyrrole testing
• Adrenal Stress Profiles
• environmental and toxicant-related testing
• glyphosate-related investigations
• heavy metal and toxic element analysis, including mercury and lead
• Toxic Element and Toxic Clearance testing
• Organic Acids Testing
• parasitology
• gastrointestinal health and digestive function panels
• intestinal permeability assessment
• Metabolic Analysis Profiles
• peripheral thyroid testing
• food intolerance testing
• male and female hormone panels, including progesterone, oestradiol and testosterone
• bone resorption testing
• Anna can also work with selected raw genomic data, including 23andMe and Ancestry data, using leading genomic interpretation software to generate a range of nutrigenomic reports and explore individual predispositions and pathways.

A test result is one piece of information. The real value lies in understanding where that piece may sit within the wider picture of you.

Taking the Next Step
If you have been living with a chronic or complex health presentation and feel that the different pieces of your health have never quite been brought together, Anna would be very happy to hear from you.

Whether working together in person or online, the starting point is always the same: taking the time to understand your individual health story and beginning to explore the connections within it.

Sometimes, understanding the wider picture is the first step towards knowing where to begin.
