Specialism: Women’s Health Hormones, Puberty to Menopause
Mission: Education and Advocacy
My Story… so far:
I initially became interested in food after leaving school, and undertook a three-year Diploma in Hotel Management & Catering. The years that followed took me all over Europe cooking for chalet holiday skiing groups.
Fifteen years later, following a career in the travel industry, I decided to combine my love for food with a growing interest in it’s healing properties and retrain as a nutritional therapist. Commencing my training in Sydney, I then returned to the UK and completed a three-year Diploma in Nutritional Therapy with the College of Naturopathic Medicine, London.
This left me hungry for delving far deeper into the biochemistry of nutrition, and so I took my studies further to train with the innovative Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). I completed my Institute of Functional Medicine certification in April 2016, and as such was one of first 25 to gain the qualification - fully certified Functional Medicine Practitioner status in the UK. Now, a decade later I continue to expand my knowledge and fuel my passion through regularly attending postgraduate education and conferences across Europe, USA & Australasia.
Post Graduate Training
I've pursued postgraduate training to deepen my expertise across every stage of women's health — including neuro-endocrine-immune health and bone health. I'm a member of the British Menopause Society, the International Menopause Society, and the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology, and I attend each of their congresses and conferences. I also regularly complete advanced endocrine modules through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) and the Kharrazian Institute.
My drive to keep learning has led me to train with some of the most respected integrative and medical specialists in their fields. I've completed immunology training with leading experts including Dr. Aristo Vojdani and Dr. Samuel Yanuck, alongside Dr. Aviva Romm's 12-month Women's Integrative and Functional Medicine Professional Training Program. I've also studied with renowned autoimmunity and thyroid specialists Dr. Datis Kharrazian and Dr. Izabella Wentz — including her 12-week certification through the Hashimoto's Institute. I travel to the United States at least twice each year, and around Europe to attend all forms of training and conferences to further deepen my knowledge and keep those sparks firing in my brain!
In addition to many years of one-to-one work in clinical practice, I am now entirely dedicated to education. Now in its 6th year, my signature Women's Health Mastery is a 12-month mentoring programme for practitioners, alongside day retreat masterclasses and teaching at leading nutritional institutions, such as ION.
I am also honoured to have co-written the then-revolutionary book, The Clever Guts Diet, with the sorely missed world's health guru, Dr Michael Mosley.
I believe learning should never stop. To that end, I'm currently studying functional immunology with Cogence, under Dr Samuel Yanuck - the most in-depth immunology programme available to healthcare professionals - alongside further advanced education through the A4M Fellowship programme.
I'm also fortunate to learn and collaborate alongside some of the field's leading minds in women's health, including Lara Briden, Dr Jerilynn Prior, and Dr Peta Wright — ongoing conversations that continue to shape and sharpen my clinical thinking.
In addition to many years of one-to-one work in clinical practice, I am now entirely dedicated to education.
All of this gained knowledge, I pledge to share with you — through my mentoring programmes, consultancy, "The Best of Health" podcast, and my soon-to-be-launched Substack.
Welcome to the community!
In health, Tanya x
