Amber CottonBSc., DipION, BANT, CNHC

As a peri-menopausal mother of teens, I have first-hand experience of the power of nutrition to help reduce the triggers that cause unwanted health symptoms and weight gain. I have a keen interest in supporting women like you to optimise your health, particularly focusing on energy, hormone, digestive and weight-loss issues. I will help you to understand more about your health, and to appreciate how your dietary and lifestyle choices can affect your delicate hormone balance, your energy and your weight.

I am passionate about supporting you to understand the reasons ’why’ your symptoms are occurring, as this will help your engagement with long-term changes. Successfully dealing with my own hormone health issues by using the power of good nutrition, has ignited a desire to help others to take control of their health too.

My approach is very simple I am passionate about helping women to feel energised, confident and vibrant. I use the Functional Medicine model to support my clients holistically, and I have a food-first philosophy (which means I won’t recommend supplements unless I think they are absolutely necessary), and I am here to provide you with support and accountability throughout your journey towards better health.

My areas of special interest include:

• Female hormone-related issues from teen to post menopause, including PMS, period issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), peri-menopause, and menopause

• Other hormone-related issues including thyroid and adrenal health

• Day-to-day energy and fatigue issues

• Mental wellbeing - ‘brain fog’, anxiety, mood swings

• Weight loss support

• Health Coaching

• Nutrigenomic/DNA testing to discover how an individual’s inherited health risks can be reduced using nutrition and lifestyle changes
