Well… I am a 50-something, London-based, CNHC Registered Nutritional Therapist and BANT Member working with private clients at several clinics across London as well as online, via Zoom & Teams.
My first career was in IT, providing software development and project management services to corporate clients in the UK, mainland Europe and the USA.
I have always had an interest in health and wellbeing. And, like most people, I was very confused by all the conflicting information I was bombarded with online and in the press. I was also becoming more aware and somewhat concerned at the number of family members, friends and work colleagues who developed chronic diseases. This, despite not having particularly unreasonable lifestyles.
So, I decided that the time had come for me to call it a day in the IT industry and dedicate the next 3 years of my life studying to become a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist.
My first year was in Biomedicine. It was then followed by 2 years in Nutrition with a focus on pathologies in order to understand the pathways and mechanisms that lead to chronic disease.
I graduated with Distinction and am a member of professional associations and registered with accredited organisations that allow me to work with private clients as well as patients referred to me by their General Practitioner or Healthcare Provider.
In the first instance, my work essentially consists of investigating and identifying the root cause(s) that result(s) in an individual’s presenting symptoms. This is the crucial part of my work. It includes a thorough analysis of the individual medical history, a discussion on the medical history of the immediate family, a comprehensive review of nutrition and lifestyle, a detailed review of current and past medication and supplementation, as well as laboratory testing and genetic testing, when applicable.
The second part of my work then consists of addressing these root causes. This is achieved through specific and targeted nutrition and lifestyle interventions, in order to directly act on the imbalances identified.
No, definitely not. My work as a Nutritional Therapist is not meant to be an alternative to the service provided by a General Practitioner (GP).
Although there are numerous situations where Nutritional Therapy and Traditional Medicine can be used alone, Nutritional Therapy and Traditional Medicine are complementary and are found to be most beneficial to the patient when combined in an Integrative Medicine model.
My area of expertise in in Men’s Health where I specialise in supporting men’s unique health needs through a personalised, evidence-based approach. My practice bridges the gap in male-focused nutritional care, offering guidance that is both relatable and scientifically grounded.
I work with men facing challenges such as weight management, cholesterol and triglyceride imbalances, high blood sugar, and blood pressure concerns—conditions often linked to metabolic syndrome. Beyond these, I also address stress, fatigue, brain fog, and other factors that can undermine energy and resilience. Attention is also given to vitality and confidence, with a focus on hormonal balance and sexual wellbeing—an often overlooked but essential aspect of men’s overall health.
Through structured assessments, biomarker analysis, and tailored programmes, I create clear, actionable plans that fit seamlessly into everyday life. These include bespoke nutrition strategies, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle interventions designed to optimise physical, metabolic, and hormonal health.
My mission is simple: to empower men to take control of their health, achieve lasting vitality, and age with strength. With a supportive and scientific approach, I help men unlock resilience, energy, and confidence for the long term.
The name Practical Wisdom reflects the essence of my approach to Men’s Health. In philosophy, practical wisdom (phronesis) is the ability to make sound decisions about how to live well. Nutritional Therapy is exactly that: applying scientific knowledge in a way that is meaningful, actionable, and sustainable in everyday life.
For men, health concerns often extend beyond digestion and metabolism to energy, resilience, hormonal balance, and even sexual wellbeing. My practice is built on translating complex science into clear, practical steps that empower men to take control of their health with confidence.
Practical Wisdom conveys both insight and action — combining evidence-based nutrition with real-world lifestyle strategies that fit seamlessly into modern life.
Ultimately, the name embodies my mission: to guide men toward lasting vitality and healthy ageing through a balanced blend of knowledge, experience, and practical application.
