BSc, MBA, PGDip

Meet Leila

I am a registered nutritional therapist with a passion for supporting complex or unresolved health concerns using a functional medicine approach to tackle the root causes of chronic symptoms. I view food as medicine and truly believe what we eat has the power to heal us or cause dis-ease. I am focused on the far reaching impact of rebalancing our microbiome on various aspects of health, from mental health to fertility, as well as the emerging science of nutrigenomics and the role of nutrition in influencing our genetics.

I have a natural interest in digestive, fertility, women's, children and hormones health however I can support most chronic/complex conditions which often coexist. Like most practitioners, I retrained in nutrition because of personal transformations in health. I am healthier in my 50s than I was in my 30s. You can read more about my journey here.

I see clients online or in-person in Leamington Spa. I would love to hear from you if you are struggling with any aspects of your health and are motivated to get answers and make some changes. I can't promise to have all the answers as only you hold the key to your health and sometimes a multi-disciplinary approach is needed but I can certainly put some puzzle pieces together.

Why Naturopathy

Why Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapy is the application of the latest evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of health, peak performance and wellbeing of individuals. You should consider Nutritional Therapy for:

Persistent or chronic health challenges which have not been resolved by conventional medicine
Unexplained symptoms eg. fatigue, discomfort, infertility, mood changes, menopausal symptoms
If you prefer natural solutions rather than pharmaceuticals to support your health concerns
Accountability and support for adopting a healthier lifestyle to optimise health
If you would like to delve into your individual genetic make up and how it can be optimised through nutrition

“The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.” –Ann Wigmore

Most functions in the body rely on biochemical processes which require certain nutrients as co-factors and if these are deficient then the body can't function optimally. Equally certain nutrients can inhibit certain biochemical processes or promote symptoms or disease. A dietary analysis can highlight imbalances or areas which may be contributing to your symptoms. My training is based on the Functional Medicine model and the advice and recommendations provided are personalised for each client to tackle possible root causes of symptoms(s) which can include dietary, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to address any nutritional imbalances or food sensitivities. If there is need for any GP tests, referrals can be made and further investigations such as functional lab or genetic testing will be discussed and arranged if necessary (at extra cost).

You can learn more about nutritional therapy on BANT website. Below are some of the areas Nutritional Therapy can help with:

Digestive issues

Reflux, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, SIBO, food sensitivity/allergies, IBS, IBD, Crohn's, coeliac, H Pylori.

#Kalettes not only look pretty but are packed full of benefits
These tiny brassicas are a cross between Brussels sprouts and kale
They were created by 2 British 🇬🇧 growers about 20 years ago
As part of the cruciferous family they are

👉🏽high in fibre and protein
👉🏽Rich in folate and other vitamins and minerals
👉🏽Rich in protective antioxidants
👉🏽Contain anti-cancer compounds
👉🏽Supports detoxification and hormonal balance
👉🏽support heart health
👉🏽support gut health
👉🏽May reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes
👉🏽can support weight management as filling and low in calories

In season from November to March it’s a good time to be including them as part of your vegetables.

I gently steam them and sauté in some olive oil until cooked enough but before change colour. You can also pimp them up in various ways as you would with Brussels Sprouts or even better combine with one or two other veg for a nutritious feast. You can learn more about them here https://kalettes.co.uk/ @kalettesuk

Whoop whoop 🙌🥳
In 10 weeks time, as well as nutritional therapist, I’ll be a @lifecodegx nutrigenomics practitioner
I’m going to have in depth knowledge about nutrigenomics and how food impacts our genes and more tools in my box to help clients with unresolved or chronic health issues

Knowing what genetic variants you have can often explain many of our symptoms both physical and mental and nutrigenomics tells us how we can support them nutritionally.

Over the coming months I’m going to reveal some of my kitchen secrets ie my favourite grocery products that I always have on hand and use regularly

I love sea salt and am always buying different ones to try when on travels
This one is a mix of salt and 4 types of pepper. It looks great and adds the right balance of flavours to any dish. I just love it and go through many pots as I pretty much add it to anything.

It’s by @cornishsea_salt
I get it from @sainsburys but may be available in other supermarkets.

Give it a try you won’t be disappointed

And do let me know YOUR kitchen secrets in the comments!! I’m curious 🧐

I’ll be banging my drums 🪘about cruciferous vegetables this month until I’ve got everyone eating them regularly 😁

They are crucial for good detoxification and
Women especially need to eat plenty to clear out undesirable oestrogen metabolites which can contribute to cancers and hormonal imbalances

Full moon tonight from Leamington Spa
My iPhone isn’t doing it justice
Note how high it is in the sky
Apparently this year is a ‘major lunar standstill’ which means the moon will oscillate between very high and very low in horizon. Happens every 18.6 years
Does the moon cycle affect your mood or menstrual cycle? There is evidence that it does

#fullmoon #majorlunarstandstill

13 January brings full moon tomorrow to the UK. A time to hibernate and dream.

I know sprouts are not everyone’s favourite but knowing their benefits might make you eat more!

👉🏽high in fibre
👉🏽Rich in folate
👉🏽Rich in protective antioxidants
👉🏽Contain anti-cancer compounds
👉🏽Supports detoxification and hormonal balance

👉🏽May reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes

I love these little balls of nutrients and my whole family eats them without complaints all throughout winter when they’re in season.

They are part of the cruciferous vegetable family and packed full of benefits (see my previous carousel). High in fibre, vitamins and minerals, aid detox pathways and Especially good for female hormone health. Your microbiome loves them too. They can cause bloating/gas as are high in FODMAPs but worth the benefits they provide.

I buy the baby ones I think they are tastier so if you’re not a fan of big ones maybe try these instead. I steam and sautee them gently at the same time taking them off before they change colour but cooked enough not to be raw inside. Can have on their own as side dish or mix with other vegetables. Can add the classic bacon lardon and chestnuts combo or chopped chorizo and pecans for a twist.

You can also par cook them and then roast them in airfry or oven for crispy tops

The most delicious version I’ve had was in Sweden. A tapas dish with roasted sprouts on top of melted goats cheese drizzled with honey. 🍯 it was so yum 😋 we ordered a second!

Seasonal spotlight on cruciferous Vegetables 🥦 🥬 Are you eating plenty of cabbage broccoli Brussels sprouts cauliflower kale kalettes cavolo Nero???

I am on a mission to get everyone eating more cruciferous vegetables as they are packed full of fibre, vitamins and minerals and so important for detoxification among other benefits outlined on the slides. They have anti-cancer properties as they contain special compounds that help rid the body of toxins and carcinogens.

In women especially it is important for the body to detoxify oestrogen metabolites ie get rid of used up oestrogen otherwise it causes trouble including hormonal imbalances if it hangs around and cruciferous vegetables help do exactly that.

Variety is key as always, if you don’t like them or are not eating all of them see if any of the ideas might inspire you to eat more!

Some people struggle with bloating or wind from them as they are high in FODMAPs which can cause excess fermentation esp if your gut bacteria are imbalanced or you have SIBO. In this case, try not to avoid them but maybe eat less quantity of them and add in probiotics foods to your diet to help balance gut microbiome and maybe consider seeing a nutritional therapist to dig deeper.

Let me know which ones you have over the coming week!

Quote of the day!
I know we have all been in or won battles no one knows anything about!

We all have our struggles and anyone that pretends otherwise is hiding their authentic self.

I've had to battle with debilitating anxiety ever since I lost my mother unexpectedly on the day I turned 26 weeks pregnant 14 years ago. Since then, its as if my nervous system has been rewired to stay in fight or flight and expect the worse to happen with every situation and stay . My mind goes from zero to catastrophe when any problems arise and when there are no problems my body is still hyper vigilant awaiting something bad to happen.

Perimenopause comes with its own heightened risk of anxiety and mood disorders due to decline in hormones so as I've aged it has been a double whammy and my anxiety has gotten worse.

HRT helps many women but I have managed without it with better self care, yoga, meditation, supplements, dog walks and food that balances our hormones and microbiome as both affect our mood. Some days are easier than others. It’s an ongoing battle.

On the plus side it has given me my Masters dissertation topic which I am excited about. I will be doing a study on the bio-psychosocial influencing factors for anxiety in the menopausal transition. I want to know why some women suffer more than others.

A rigorous nine-year research review looking at the relationship between fluoride and intelligence in children concludes that as fluoride levels rise, IQ drops.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/06/health/children-higher-fluoride-levels-lower-iqs-government-study/index.html

“There is, however, a large body of evidence on associations between fluoride exposure and IQ in children. There is also some evidence that fluoride exposure is associated with other neurodevelopmental and cognitive effects in children; although, because of the heterogeneity of the outcomes, there is low confidence in the literature for these other effects. This review finds, with moderate confidence, that higher estimated fluoride exposures (e.g., as in approximations of exposure such as drinking water fluoride concentrations that exceed the World Health Organization Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality of 1.5 mg/L of fluoride) are consistently associated with lower IQ in children.”
https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/publications/monographs/mgraph08

Fluoride is a known neurotoxin

I’m waiting for @water2filter to bring out their fluoride filter version which is in the pipeline

This new year it may be worth paying attention to how/if one’s mood sleep and menstrual cycle is affected by the cycles of the moon.

Recent research suggests the lunar cycle has a subtle influence on some people—specifically when it comes to cyclical phenomena such as sleep, the female menstrual cycle, and the periodic mood swings of people with bipolar disorder. The word “lunatic,” after all, derives from the Latin term for moon!

Let’s support British farming by buying local in-season produce as much as possible.
Let’s visit our local markets or farm shops in favour of big supermarkets to help support @british_farming_ in 2025.

The in-season fruits and veg are packed full of benefits too and the fresher we have them the more nutrients intact.

Apples and pears full of vitamins and fibre which supports the gut microbiome and bowel regularity.

Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage sprouts and kale great for detox support and hormonal balance

Artichokes, beetroot, chicory, onions and leeks good prebiotics feeding the gut microbiome

Mushrooms food source of vit D2 and B vits.

Squash and carrots full of beta carotene
Turnips full of vit C

Aim to fill your trolley with a selection of these during January to get all their benefits and feed your gut microbiome as diversity is key.

I love this quote by @tonyrobbins
2025 for me is going to be a year of stepping out of my comfort zone and doing things that I generally avoid or makes me anxious.
I’m going to do it by accepting that stepping out of my comfort zone and facing my fears are non-negotiable if I am to do what I want to do. I’ve just got to throw myself into it to learn and grow. Knowing that feeling the discomfort and fear of leaving the comfort zone is part and parcel of growth helps to navigate times when anxiety strikes.

My mission in becoming a nutritional therapist is to encourage clients to take charge of their own health and take an active part in solving any health concerns.

No one knows our bodies better than ourselves. Our bodies have an innate power to heal. With the right kind of professional support we can find out the root causes of many chronic or unresolved health issue and address them with nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

Nutritional therapists are trained to unravel complex or unresolved health issues and make dietary, lifestyle and supplements recommendations as well as offer more in depth lab tests but only we can make the necessary changes for our own health and wellbeing.

If you suffer from any ongoing health issue that you’ve so far not had an answer for, it’s worth giving nutritional therapy a try. Just because conventional medicine hasn’t offered any solutions it doesn’t mean there is nothing that can be done.

You can find qualified practitioners on @nutrition.lifestyle.medicine or @collegeofnaturopathicmedicine or @naturopathicpractitioners websites. Most offer a free discovery call so you can find someone who resonates with you.

I’ll also be happy to help any motivated clients who are ready to take charge of their health. Feel free to DM me to find out more.

Happy new year everyone 🎉🥂
May 2025 bring peace on earth and more courage for all to step out of our comfort zones, speak our truths, grow collectively and realise our dreams.

I also hope 🙏 the new health related appointments in the US will have a positive impact on American nutrition, health and drug regulation by removing some toxins from the environment and raising the bar for both safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals and close the revolving door between big pharma and regulators which will have a ripple effect on the rest of the world

Let 2025 be the year you move from Comfort Zone to Growth Zone

When it comes to writing those 2025 resolutions....Don’t let your fears prevent you from reaching your goals and dreams

As this great infographic by @Positivepsychology shows, there are no shortcuts to reaching the growth zone. We have no choice but to face our fears and step out of the comfort zone if we are to grow and realise our goals.

This is something I will have to contend with myself in 2025

So my first NY resolution is to step out of my comfort zone in all areas of life

What are some of your resolutions??!

Leo aka Velcro has kept me far busier than anticipated hence no posts on here since his arrival!!
He’s brought so much joy and endorphins to our house ❤️🐾🐾

I never forget the day several years ago when I realised my episodes of intense anxiety could be due to perimenopause

As I had regular cycles it had not dawned on me that I was perimenopausal! My GP hormone tests also didn’t suggest I was in perimenopause yet I was experiencing heightened feelings of anxiety and an overreaction to life’s stresses.

That knowledge hasn’t alleviated my symptoms but it has helped me make sense of it as at times I have felt utter dread, panic, despair and irrational fear but knowing that there was a hormonal element to my symptoms and feelings helped me accept them and ride each wave

Thankfully not all women suffer
I believe there are certain psychosocial factors such as negative life events or social support that influence our risk of anxiety during the menopausal transition

It’s important women in their 40s and 50s are aware that the menopausal transition which can span over a decade is a critical time in women’s life where the hormonal fluctuations coincide with midlife stressors making many women prone to anxiety and/or depression

Knowing they are not alone and that many others are experiencing similar symptoms and challenges like the women in this study may help alleviate feelings of isolation

There are natural supplements that can help support women in menopausal symptoms including anxiety and the @dutchtest is a great tool for understanding the true status of female hormones as well as cortisol the stress hormone. I’ll be doing the Dutch test for myself soon hoping it will shine more light

If you are suffering from new onset or worsening anxiety don’t suffer in silence
Reach out to other women or see a nutritional therapist to see how you can support your symptoms with lifestyle medicine

The perfect smoothie bowl 🥣
Great for keeping you full until lunch if you add protein powder (no sugar)
If trying to lose weight avoid the oats and focus on berries as less fruit sugar
Flax or chia seeds great source of omega 3 and fibre (make sure to hydrate to avoid constipation if using these)
Note: it’s good to add greens for the added vitamins and minerals but they will make the smoothie less photogenic 😂

@foodmarble AIRE 2 inulin challenge review for all the BLOATING sufferers out there
SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is a major cause of bloating. It is often triggered by eating high FODMAP foods (foods that contain lactose, fructose, inulin, GOS, sorbitol, mannitol)

This is the 3rd of my @foodmarble #fodmap challenges to see if it is one of the triggers of my #bloating

Inulin is a type of soluble fibre and a prebiotic which feeds the good bacteria
In some people however it can cause excessive fermentation and hydrogen and/or methane gas production which manifests as bloating if there is an overgrowth of certain types of hydrogen producing bacteria (SIBO) or methane producing archaea (IMO)

Inulin has to get digested by the bacteria in the colon as we don’t have the enzyme to digest it and the byproduct of the digestion is fermentation which produce the gases.

As inulin is food for our gut bacteria we don’t want to avoid it completely as it’s beneficial however it’s good to be aware which food sources contain it so we can manage our consumption and avoid having too many in one day if we are sensitive to it.

If you have any questions about the device or types of SIBO testing feel free to drop me a message.

We’ve all heard the importance of the microbiome for our overall health but do you know what impacts our microbiome?

Luckily we can influence the microbiome with our diet and lifestyle choices

-Diet - vegetables and fibre positive and processed food and alcohol negative effect
-Stress - negative effect
-Antibiotics and some other meds - negative effect
-Physical activity - positive effect
-Toxins - negative effect
-Sleep - positive effect
-Age - negative effect
-Mode of birth - c-section negative effect
-Light - positive effect
-Exposure to nature and breastfeeding also - positive effect but i couldn’t fit them in!

Are you surprised by any? Let me know which!

Persian Prawn and Tamarind Curry 🥘
The more I learn about nutrition the more I appreciate the value of ancient recipes, including Persian ones where I am originally from. They are often packed full of nutrients and naturally optimise health.

This is one of my favourite super easy prawn stews/curries. It is from the south of Iran where there has been an Indian influence in the cuisine. You will love it if you like coriander and sour foods and maybe not otherwise! Either way it is packed full of phytonutrients from all the herbs and spices and quality protein and zinc from the prawns.

Tamarind and Prawn Curry (Ghalieh Meygoo)

Ingredients:
Onions
Garlic (lots of )
Fenugreek
Curry Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Coriander (lots of)
Basil (lots of)
2 large tomatoes
2/3 cup tamarind paste mixed in water
Prawns (or can be replaced with any firm white fish)

I used my thermomix to chop up the herbs but you can use any processor or just finely chop.

Serve with rice. Best shared with friends :-) @menes_homemade_with_thermomix

4 ways to reduce sugar intake
Sugar is bad for our blood sugar balance and metabolism as it causes rapid sugar spikes and crashes. It is also bad for our microbiome which is key to our health.
Avoiding sugar is also the key to losing weight or as women age, just to maintain our weight as we lose the ability to utilise sugar efficiently so more of it gets stored as fat…mostly around the middle!

Giving up sugar is not as hard as it seems. After a few days our cravings do subside and our taste buds eventually change.

Having given up refined sugar about 18 years ago, I find most sugary foods way too sweet and unpalatable as my taste buds have changed.
If you need any tips in ditching sugar do drop me a comment

Bloating update for the bloating sufferers!!! Just had a biggish meal and feeling super bloated like I’m 5 months pregnant 🫃
My @foodmarble breath test 20 minutes after the meal shows very high levels of gas most of which is methane
This points towards intestinal methanogen overgrowth which are archaea rather than small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) which would show high Hydrogen levels normally
Once I’ve finished with the @foodmarble testing I’ll do @genovadiagnostics SIBO panel to confirm the results and then I will follow the recommended protocol for methanogen overgrowth to tackle any overgrowth of methanogens and rebalance my microbiome

I rarely have puddings these days as I have to just look at anything sweet and I put on weight since turning 50 but today I fancied a treat and mashed up this no added sugar crumble by modifying a thermomix recipe

Ingredients

Topping
Walnuts (or almonds)
Jumbo oats (I used gluten free)
Cinnamon
Ground ginger
2 tbsp olive oil
All whizzed up together in a blender
Flaked almond to go on top at end

Compote
Rhubarb
Apples or Pears
Raisins
Vanilla extract
Orange juice
Simmer until fruits cooked and soft then top with crumble and flaked almonds and pop in hot oven or airfryer for 10 mins to crisp up

You can use any fruit combo but you need something sweet like apples or pears or raisins if using sour fruits like rhubarb/berries and you can add honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter

Serve with single cream or dairy-free alternative for a tasty and nutritious dessert that won’t spike your blood sugar too much as the nuts slow down the metabolism of the fruit sugars and prevent a massive blood sugar spike
