About me
Hi, I'm Jonny, a Nutrition Consultant and Personal Trainer. I can work with you wherever you are in the country or world, as most of my consultations are now done via Microsoft Teams. This means we can arrange a time that is convenient for you, in the comfort of your own home, and avoids you having the extra stress and time of travel.
You may have seen me on one of my several television appearances, talking about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle (my latest appearance can be seen at the bottom of this profile).
My passion for nutrition started when I suffered from my own health problems in 2007, having been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. The following year I suffered from burnout after a viral infection, leaving me in a state of severe fatigue for over 6 months. On both occasions, I used dietary and lifestyle modifications, plus supplementation, which aided my recovery. This experience encouraged me to study a nutrition-related degree, followed by a 3-year Nutritional Therapy Diploma with the highly regarded Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London.
One of my key attributes is my extremely grounded approach as a practitioner, which I have used very successfully with clients. I firmly believe life is all about balance. You certainly won't feel judged by me. I will help you make subtle changes to both your diet and lifestyle, which will aim to optimise your health, yet still allow you to enjoy life! Don't worry, I don't expect you to eat nothing but chicken, salad, broccoli, and never have the odd glass of wine! I aim to achieve sustainable balance with you, making realistic changes that can fit into your lifestyle. In my experience, this leads to long-term, sustainable results.
The areas I specialise in:
- Digestion - bloating, gas, cramps, acid reflux, etc
- Burnout, stress, fatigue and improving sleep
- Weight Loss/Management - Personal Training can be included with this
- High BP.
- Mens health/Womens Health
- Skin Health
- Low Iron/Ferritin
- Sport Nutrition
How it Works:
First, please organise a no-obligation discovery phone call with me so we can chat about how the consultation process works and whether I can help. Please don't worry; you won't feel pressured to book with me!
If you do decide to go ahead, as a Clinical Nutritionist, I will identify possible nutritional imbalances which may contribute to suboptimal health. This is often done through biochemical testing, taking guesswork out of the equation. I will assess you holistically and look at various lifestyle factors that could be impacting your health. The aim is to address these imbalances by developing a personalised nutrition, lifestyle, and possible supplement plan that fits into your daily life. This is where my grounded approach really works, as I will work together with you and will give help and advice that is achievable and won't suddenly expect you to make dramatic changes to your diet/lifestyle.
The Consultation Process:
- You complete a very detailed health questionnaire and food diary before our initial consultation. This allows you to share with me relevant information regarding your goal, health issues, and symptoms. This should be sent back to me at least 48 hours prior to our consultation.
- Before the initial consultation, I analyse the questionnaire and carry out all relevant research needed.
- During the initial 90-minute consultation, I will discuss the questionnaire, asking you relevant questions to really get to know your symptoms. I will explain what I think is happening and then, together, a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan will be devised to help achieve your goal. Biochemical testing may also be advised; for example, I might suggest to a client with compromised digestion to have a comprehensive stool analysis test to detect levels of good and bad bacteria in the gut. I use various laboratories around the UK, but all tests are carried out in your own home and then posted to the lab. Supplements can also be recommended if needed.
- After the consultation, I will forward you a Health Optimisation plan (HOP). This will outline all the steps we have agreed upon to improve your health in a simple, easy to understand format.
- A follow-up session is usually advised, usually 4-8 weeks later, to review and adapt the HOP. A new and updated version will be sent to you after this session.
- Remember, this whole process can all be done online, meaning it can be done at a time that is convenient for you in the comfort of your own home.
Training, qualifications & experience
After I achieved a BSc in Sport, Health, Exercise and Nutrition from the University of Leeds in 2011, I completed a Personal Training course. I then completed a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy, graduating from the well-regarded Institute of Optimum Nutrition in 2016. This led me to introducing my Nutritional Therapy and Personal Training business, Ultimate Personal Well-Being.
Since 2016 I have made several television appearances, discussing nutrition and exercise. You can see my most recent appearance here

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.
