Functional Nutrition

Our passionate Functional Nutritionist Ann Taylor works to change your relationship with food and diet to achieve better health outcomes.

Consultations involve collecting and collating detailed information to help the practitioner understand the whole person and to then consider the interaction of biological and environmental factors that may be contributing to signs and symptoms.

The goal is to empower patients to take back self-control, achieve their health goals, and be supported practically and empathetically along the way.
