The FoodPhysio From A Walking Stick to A Zip Line

“No-one gets better, everyone gets worse, & you could be in a wheelchair by the time you are 60”. Not exactly what you want to hear from your consultant when suffering with autoimmune disease, 40 years old & already walking with a stick, unable to dress yourself & needing your 7-year old to cut up your food! But what other choice do you have? To top it all off, your GP then says ‘there are a lot of quack diets out there, just keep taking the medication’. Medication that wasn’t working. Surely there were other options? With autoimmune disease and inflammatory arthritis people can often feel there isn’t but the short answer is, there is. I switched our whole diets around to improve our nutrition to try to lessen his symptoms, but little did I realise that we would be able to actually reverse them! Years of scarring, from successive ulcerative colitis flares, on his bowel have now completely disappeared! His improvement physically is so dramatic with that  change in nutrition that on our last holiday he was canyoning, zip-lining & canoeing without symptoms or pain & was free of all medication! He has his life back, can cook again, play tennis and enjoy spending time with our kids.

Together, Richard & I have now written it all down. We’ve produced a self-help guide called ‘Eating My Way Back to Health’ for all those out there suffering with autoimmune disease & inflammatory conditions like him, to show that you don’t have to just keep ‘taking the tablets’ without improvement. That you can take back control of your health & forge an active future. And the guide goes one stage further & includes over 100 tried & tested gluten free and dairy free recipes to make it easy for everyone to benefit from our experience.

For me, this has also meant a change in direction for my career. I still work as a physiotherapist but I am now a qualified nutritional therapist because I believe we must spread the word to as many people as possible about how different you can feel just by changing your diet and lifestyle. I have founded a new company, The Food Physio, with that aim and offer nutritional therapy consultations to help people gain the knowledge to help themselves.

And if you’re unsure about how to tackle your health issues that’s what we’re here for! We can look at your symptoms, look at what you eat, and don’t eat, and advise you on what may be triggering and exacerbating your condition.

The Food Physio has worked for many others and it can work for you!

  • "After years of suffering with psoriasis it has completely gone with the dietary changes suggested by the Food Physio."

    Hazel, Hertfordshire

  • "10lbs in 3 weeks, this is the ultimate bikini diet and I wasn't hungry once!"

    Michelle, London

  • "All these years of dieting and I've been doing everything wrong, no wonder I keep putting the weight back on! Thanks for teaching me the right way."

    Linda, Manchester

  • "I approached The Food Physio for help with reflux, bloating, painful arthritic joints, headaches, sleep issues and a general feeling of being unwell. After changing my diet and taking a few supplements my symptoms started to improve and eventually went, plus I lost weight as a bonus. I would happily recommend them to anyone needing advice on nutrition."

    Karen, Wales

  • "After years of struggling with stomach problems I approached The Food Physio and after just one consultation my situation changed dramatically. Further consultations helped to tweak certain elements for the better and her passion and ability to get me to change the way I think about my diet has been life changing."

    Danny, Fife

  • "My teenaged daughter and I cannot thank The Food Physio enough for the superb dietary and supplement advice. Having a history of 2 hospital admissions and years of regular debilitating bouts of illness affecting all aspects of my daughter’s personal and educational life, she finally received a diagnosis of abdominal migraine. However, it is only since altering her diet and taking the supplements advised by Louise, that my daughter has had no bouts of illness and is enjoying life again."

    Nicky, Shropshire
