About me
Hi, I’m Helen Phadnis, a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience, including 12 years in the NHS and more than 10 years in private practice.
I help adults who feel frustrated or stuck with their weight, gut health or nutrition to understand what their body actually needs — and make changes that feel realistic, sustainable and personal to them.
A key part of my approach is DNA-based personalised nutrition. Using a simple nutrigenomic test, we can look at how your genes may influence areas such as carbohydrate and fat metabolism, appetite, vitamin and mineral needs, food sensitivities and response to exercise. This helps take some of the guesswork out of nutrition and allows me to tailor my advice much more closely to you.
I combine this with a detailed assessment of your current diet, lifestyle, symptoms and goals, alongside 1:1 dietetic support. Rather than simply giving you a meal plan or calorie target, we work together to build practical habits and a way of eating that fits your life.
I particularly support clients with:
• Sustainable weight loss and weight management
• IBS, bloating and digestive symptoms
• Food intolerances and personalised gut health
• Sports nutrition and performance
• DNA-based personalised nutrition
Alongside my private practice, I work in sports nutrition education and provide evidence-based nutrition support within health screening services.
If you’re unsure where to start, I offer a free discovery call so we can discuss your goals and whether working together would be the right fit.
You can also visit my website for practical advice on weight loss, gut health and DNA testing, or download my free 7-day meal plan with recipes and a shopping list.

info 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.
