About me

Hello, I'm VJ, and I am a Nutritionist and expert in autoimmune disease. I help women who have an autoimmune disease to regain their strength and live a full and symptom-free life.

After grappling with autoimmune conditions from 7 years old, I decided to take ownership of my health and found that nutrition and lifestyle therapy can have remarkable effects. As we have a family history of autoimmune disease, and my brother suffers from MS, I chose to study autoimmune disease as part of my BSc (Hons) degree.

Using my scientific background and nutrition experience, I like to take a scientific and evidence-based approach to find the best solutions for my clients.

My clinic specialises in autoimmune conditions, including hair growth and chronic skin issues, and neurological autoimmune disorders and other inflammatory illnesses such as long-term fatigue and energy depletion, heart issues, blood sugar imbalances, etc., weight-loss management. Due to its role in autoimmunity, I also work with food allergy and food intolerance.

My practice seeks to find the root cause of your underlying condition (in line with the functional medicine approach). In our one to one sessions, we will discuss your health assessment, meal plan recommendations, health optimisation plan and the option for functional diagnostic testing to get you feeling at your best again!

My personalised functional testing packages offer the following tests:

· Genetic profiling (DNA Life)

· Gut health testing (GI MAP)

· Toxicity and nutrient deficiency testing

· Hormonal testing (DUTCH test)

· Cardiovascular disease markers

· Liver function tests

· Food intolerance testing

I also offer many other functional tests dependent on your needs.

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.
