Clinical Nutritionist and Functional Medicine Practitioner
Hi, I'm Megan. A bachelor degree qualified, science obsessed Clinical Nutritionist, mother to a beautiful little boy, Arthur and puppy Frankie and a passionate advocate for evidence-based integrative medicine.
My personal health journey began many years ago when I began to seek answers beyond what modern medicine could provide for depression, anxiety, insomnia and fatigue.
I lived on overdrive, unable to quieten my mind which in turn meant being unable to quieten my body. My adrenals were under constant pressure, which wreaked havoc on my hormones and gut health. Things that should have been easy just weren't. I struggled with saying no, I struggled with my confidence and self-worth, I was fighting a silent battle behind closed doors and doing my best to put one foot in front of the other each day.
I took some time out to really listen to my body, and I started to learn that our physical and emotional health are inextricably linked. And that diet, lifestyle, gut health and our genes can all have an impact on our physical health and feelings of general wellbeing. It was these experiences that guided me to my career in Nutritional and Functional Medicine and fuels the passion I have for helping those around me each day.
The further I get into my career and the more I learn and help people, the more passionate I become. I have seen first hand unnecessary suffering for people that slip through the system, aren't listened to or experience medical 'gaslighting'. It is my aim to make sure that everyone is heard and not dismissed and to give them the opportunity for a better quality of life; restoring balance, positivity and health.
My areas of interest lie in epigenetics, mental health, women's reproductive health, endocrinology, gut health, paediatrics, preconception and pregnancy care, autoimmunity and chronic disease. My combined love for neuroscience, biochemistry, the incredible human body and food as medicine feeds my curiosity and drives me to learn and grow everyday.
I continually seek out guidance and mentoring from some of the leaders in the industry to better myself, my knowledge and my practice. It is the in-depth pathology interpretation that I have learnt and incorporated that makes my practice what it is today and will continue to be, analysing results with a finer lens than just "too high" or "too low" and ultimately finding my patients the answers that they need.
I look forward to sharing your health journey with you,
Megan
