In less than 6 months Tracey has helped me transform my health. For many years I have been working to try and resolve chronic health issues, with some success, but not enough. I was tired of being exhausted, having seemingly random but severe intolerant reactions to food and lesser, albeit draining, symptoms. I had tried everything, educating myself about gut health, excluding different things from my diet, having intolerance tests, trying different supplements, basically an amateur process of trial and error. I had seen another nutritionist and had cut out gluten (more or less), tried excluding cow’s milk products, given up alcohol and had a pretty ‘clean’ diet, but I was still far from healthy. So, when I turned to Tracey for expert help, I have to confess that my expectations weren’t very high. I assumed that there would be a few tweaks and I would have to just put up with suboptimal health.

Right from our free 15 minute discovery conversation, my hopes were raised and I had immediate confidence in Tracey’s deep knowledge combined with her rigorous, empathetic approach. I could have cried (in fact I think I did).  For the first time, I believed I would have some well-founded answers and a path to better health and wellbeing. We embarked on a structured process of detailed evaluation, testing, discovery, learning and partnership. Tracey took me on a deep dive of my medical history and educated me about crucial linkages in health events and symptoms that I had never known. I learned a lot about my thyroid condition, thyroid function and even the fact that I had an auto-immune condition, which had never been explained to me in 25+ years. The crucial link with gluten was explained and I learned the science behind it, no longer relying on my best-guess. My current medical symptoms and metabolic state were assessed in detail, giving a base reading which was more shocking than I had appreciated. Various lab tests were conducted which provided evidence of the source of my problems. My progress was measured regularly which I found very compelling Tracey explained key concepts so I understood the ‘why’ of recommendations particularly relevant to my health, shared articles, provided great recipes and has supported me through manageable step-by-step change. As I changed my diet and took relevant supplements, I was able to come off unnecessary medication (including long-term steroids). I am still trying new meal ideas and trying to expand my diet repertoire. It does take some work, but it is so worth it.

So in less than 6 months I have gone from all-over inflammation, chronic lethargy, leaky gut, major digestion problems, constant rhinitis, aching joints, poor immunity, brain fog, feeling washed out and looking pale…..(I could go on)…… to feeling and looking like a new person. I have so much more energy now, my gut is happy, my brain is sharp, my skin is bright, my airways are clear, I feel balanced and vibrant. I feel so much better than I had hoped for. I highly recommend Tracey to anyone who wishes to transform their health. Thank you so much.

“I was pretty desperate when I first met Tracey. I’ve suffered from autoimmunity for as long as I can remember having had glandular fever twice, then developing ulcerative colitis during my first pregnancy and then adding rheumatoid arthritis to that after the birth of my second child. I’d tried numerous drugs which worked for a while and then either stopped working or presented awful side effects. I was having flare ups on a daily basis and struggling to cope with young kids and a full-time job.

The thought of depending on heavy medication for the foreseeable future was scary as it wasn’t working and made me fear for other side effects I might encounter. I had been told about functional medicine on a Jason Vale juicing retreat, so I decided to explore it. I found Tracey on the ifm.org website and from day one, Tracey’s communications were informed, clear and kind. We had an exploratory chat and I felt excited at what could be, though she managed my expectations about it not being a quick fix and the efforts I would need to put in.

Tracey was thorough in her approach, establishing a clear picture of my health history and contributing factors. She helped me realise that my mental health was directly related to how ill I was, and I needed to take some time out to heal. The way she delivered this message was incredibly kind, and strong enough for me to finally take it seriously.

Tracey’s knowledge seems limitless, backed up by her constant self-development and completion of specialist courses, which directly benefitted me. She gave me a clear plan to follow, which incorporated diet, supplements, reducing my toxic burden, and stress management in the form of various things such as massage, country walks, yoga, meditation, journaling and exploring things I enjoyed again as I had lost that over time.
She was incredibly proactive and sent lots of information, introduced me to other people who were on similar journeys, invited me to relevant talks and workshops, and kept in touch to see how I was getting on. The initial food regime didn’t work in the way we’d hoped, so she advised me to explore another (auto-immune paleo plan) and again provided all the information I needed to do it including recipes, introductions to organic suppliers, books and relevant articles.

I have now been working with Tracey for 4 months and can honestly say I haven’t felt this good for years. I’ve lost 2 stone, haven’t had a flare up for months, feel much happier, less stressed and calmer. I now understand how to manage my autoimmunity and live in a way that enables me, and my family, to be healthier and happier. I have made serious changes to our lives because I have the information to support it and have experienced the benefits that make me, and my family, want to carry it on.

Over this time Tracey has been a rock for me, always willing to share her knowledge, network and be there when I needed help shaping things along the way. I can’t thank her enough for helping me at such a desperate time and heartily recommend her to anyone.”

I visited Tracey in late 2015 after suffering for about 25 years with various digestive issues which started after a severe case of salmonella food poisoning and were then exacerbated by a subsequent campylobacter infection a couple of years later. Over the years I visited various gastroenterologists to try to find out what I could do to put things right, but always came away feeling the prescribed drugs were not the answer and I was no further forward.

Tracey’s approach was both gentle (in that she did not hit me with the full impact of what I was undertaking on the first day) and firm (in that she made it clear that I needed to stick to the rules and learn to cook if I was ever going to help myself).

Several months on, having been through the elimination diet and come out the other side, I am drug-free, much, much healthier and able to say that my symptoms have reduced to a point where I no longer spend my life thinking about my stomach and gut! Additionally, if something does trigger a reaction I am armed with the knowledge of what to do to put my system back on the straight and narrow. I have not finished the process yet, but know that it will be fine at the end.

I feel I have been on a life changing, and quite tough, journey. Looking back I would not have started it and could not have undertaken it without the expert guidance of Tracey. Thank you.

“I sought support from Tracey after a few months of very difficult symptoms, including episodes of palpitations, nausea and lots of digestive issues. I’d reached a point where I was seeing doctors regularly, but nothing was helping, and I was exhausted and fed up.

One of the best parts of seeing Tracey was how she spent time getting a full and detailed history. I really felt like she wanted to understand what was going on, and she mapped out all past medical problems and the current issues to try and make links, which I really felt I’d been missing from previous help. I have a number of pre-existing conditions and lots of allergies and Tracey was always very understanding and found ways to work with this.

Tracey was really nice and helpful throughout and gave me many different ways of improving my health and wellbeing. She targeted lots of areas of my life and after making the changes she suggested, I now feel I’m at the most well I’ve been for over a year. I hope to continue the plans Tracey has set me up with to continue this improvement in the future.”

34 year-old female (lockdown) client. Suffering from painful periods and heavy bleeding. Muscular aches and pains. IBS – bloating, alternating constipation and diarrhea. Frequent sinus infections. Low energy. Felt depleted after exercise. Anxiety. Sleep unrefreshing. Diet mainly processed pre-packaged foods and high in refined sugar. Work stress. Self-care not a priority.

Client was increasingly compliant, backed by a very supportive partner.

Comprehensive stool test results motivated client to increase fresh vegetables in diet. Supported this goal with simple meal ideas particularly breakfast and lunch.

Lifestyle support included encouraging and self-care (sleep hygiene routine, salt baths, daily walks in nature).

This is her message to me dated 21 December 2020:

I wanted to take the time to say thank you for your time this year to support me with my health. I have continued to eat using the nutrition plan you advised. It has given me some great positive results and I am very thankful to you.

“I always come away from our appointments feeling lighter and like my life has been enriched. I have woken this morning with new resolve and started the day with a lovely breakfast salad.”

“After being diagnosed with genetic hemochromatosis I was advised by consultants to cut down on iron intake to help the reduction in my ferritin levels. This, coupled with fortnightly removal of a pint of blood, resulted in me struggling with energy levels, brain fogginess and heart palpitations. After a few weeks I was then advised that I was anaemic!!.

Being completely confused about my diet I contacted Tracey to discuss how she could help. At my first meeting with her it was clear she had done her research in to what is a fairly uncommon condition and had spoken to other people who also had it. She advised that diet would have a minimal effect on the ferritin levels and that I should concentrate on gut function and general well being.

The diet has resulted in weight loss (without cutting down on portions), improvements in my skin and supported me in coping with the blood removal. My ferritin levels are slowly reducing and though there is some way to go over the next six months the advice is easy to follow and recipes simple but delicious. I would definitely recommend Tracey’s advice.”
