2. My Professional Expertise

Full disclaimer: I am a biochemistry geek! I never stop looking for answers or seeking to improve my knowledge to help my clients. And I am 100% committed to sharing this knowledge with you, in a way that will engage and inspire you to make health changes for life.  

I first received a diploma in Nutritional Therapy from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London and then after studying with the Institute for Functional Medicine in America for 5 years, in April 2016 was one of first 15 to gain the qualification - fully certified Functional Medicine Practitioner status in the UK. 

I have also undertaken thousands of hours of undergraduate and postgraduate training to provide me with increased expertise in hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, functional digestive conditions and functional endocrinology. My quest for knowledge has allowed me to partake in specialist training with some of the most respected functional medical doctors and specialists in their fields. I’ve completed training with leading coeliac and gluten sensitivity specialists including Dr. Tom O'Bryan, and programmes with renowned autoimmunity and thyroid specialists Dr. Datis Kharrazian and Dr. Izabella Wentz, including Dr. Izabella Wentz’s 12 week certification program through her Hashimoto’s Institute.

What am I studying currently? I believe learning should never stop, to that end, I'm studying with Cogence immunology under Dr Samuel Yanuck,  Cogence offers the most deep dive functional immunology learning programme for healthcare professionals. In addition, I am also studying Herbal Medicine for Women with Dr Aviva Romm at a post graduate level. 

All of this gained knowledge I pledge to share with you! 

Thyroid Thriving FAQ’s

Why an online programme?

Great question! If you want to improve and optimize your health, you need to first understand your body, so there has to be a level of education/knowledge to move forward. Over the  years I have spent in clinical practice seeing 1-2-1 clients I began to fully appreciate that foundational work for every client is imperative to succeed. This takes time, and why I am only able to take on a limited number of 1-2-1  clients.  I’ve put together this programme to be able to educate and share this knowledge to more people, facilitating you to put these health foundations in place too. 

Is there a benefit to the programme if I’ve already made diet changes and am on a raft of “thyroid supplements” to try to improve my health? 

A resounding yes! If you are reading this you must still be looking for answers because you are not feeling your best self. Implementing all the components of Thyroid Thriving, with me as your educator and mentor is going to help you achieve far more than searching for answers from diet books, protocols and Dr Google. Remember, incremental targeted changes manifest into profound results. 

I’ve had my thyroid tested and it’s normal, can I still do the programme ?

Unfortunately,  most GP’s only look at TSH levels and T4 to gauge a “normal” Thyroid function. This is only two out of about 6 markers that truly tell us how your Thyroid is functioning. Therefore your blood test may look “normal”, but that doesn’t mean that they’re optimal. It also doesn't mean you’re symptom-free either.

I am vegetarian / vegan, will the meal plans accommodate this?

The fundamental nutritional principles of The Thyroid Thriving programme  supports a predominantly  plant-based diet (about 80-90%) with small amounts of animal-based foods (about 10-20%) as optimal for the treatment - support of an underactive Thyroid. Hence my Thyroid Thriving meal  and recipe plans are written to support these core principles. If you’re a strict vegan or vegetarian then the meal plans won’t be 100% suitable. But you can substitute the 20% of meat-based ingredients with your favourite plant-based proteins and still enjoy delicious daily meals!

Are any tests or supplements included in the programme?

No they are not.  

Supplements: throughout the programme I make reference to specific supplements either to facilitate a biological process or bridge a nutrient gap, which are available to purchase, but of course not compulsory
