Helen Lambert DipION mBANT CNHC
About me
I am fascinated by how our brain and body communicate together. How our thoughts and emotions can influence our hormones and our immune system. How our gut microbes can chat directly to our brains affecting mood and behaviour. How difficult experiences in childhood can affect physical health as an adult. But mostly I am fascinated by our incredible ability to heal.
My passion lies in the joining together of science and art. Taking the research and applying it in clinical practice. No two people are the same. Our entire life history, right back to before we were born can impact on how our bodies and brains function today. Human beings really are amazing!
I like to focus on the nutrients and behaviours that out bodies and brains need in order to function to their best. Great nutrition is about nourishing body and mind, living life to the fullest, and being the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be.
Please visit my website for more information, or you can can drop me an email or give me a call. Please do get in touch, I would love to hear from you. I really do work with people, just like you.

Nutrition topics
Information about health conditions (*)
Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.
Fees
Initial health consultation £100 (Please allow up to 90 minutes)
Follow up consultations £60 (Please allow up to 50 minutes)
Please note that I prefer to work with a minimum of 3 consultations, changing habits and behaviours takes time. I offer email support between our sessions, which are normally spaced 2 - 3 weeks apart. For disordered eating I work with people weekly.
Please visit my website for further information on nutrition counseling.
Appointments are available via zoom, skype, facetime, WhatsApp and face to face.
