Hello!
I'm Lucy Harris
DipION, mBANT, CNHC
a British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) Registered Nutritionist, Registered Nutritional Therapist and qualified Health Coach working with clients online and in Cornwall.
My journey into nutritional therapy has been a personal one...
I'd always LOVED food but following an irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnosis in my early 30's my diet became increasingly restricted and I constantly felt 6 months pregnant after eating.
With my chronic digestive issues growing progressively worse and the onset of debilitating brain fog, hormonal imbalances and a fear of food I started to google, unwilling to accept restrictive diets and drugs were my destiny. My corporate role at the time involved root cause analysis and I guess I was applying the same to my health to discover why I'd developed IBS.
This is when I discovered Functional Medicine and visited a registered Nutritional Therapist in London where we began the journey to discovering the true causes of my health issues and I discovered how my symptoms were connected to more than just food.
The knowledge she shared blew my mind and it wasn't long before I'd enrolled with the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition on their flagship Nutritional Therapy course so I could help others. I studied for three years and continue to enhance and build on this learning through continued professional development (CPD) to ensure I stay up to date with all the latest research in this ever changing field.
