Nutrition without the noise
There is no shortage of nutrition advice telling you what you should eat.
But healthy eating isn't about following the latest trend or finding
the perfect diet. It's about It's about giving your body the nourishment it needs, without making food complicated, restrictive or stressful.
At Purple Carrot, we help you make sense of the nutrition minefield, combining evidence-based nutrition, gut health expertise and
behavioural science to find an approach that works for your body,
your health and your life.
Feeling confused by nutrition advice?
You're not imagining it!
One 'expert' says you need to cut carbohydrates. Another says you need more protein. Someone else tells you dairy is inflammatory, gluten is toxic, seed oils are dangerous or that you need to eliminate half the foods in your kitchen cupboards.
Then there's intermittent fasting, keto, low FODMAP. supplements, detoxes, blood sugar hacks, gut health protocols and a new "must do" health trend every week. It's a lot!
You don't need to follow every piece of advice you see online. You need help working out what is actually relevant to you. That's where we come in.
At Purple Carrot, we translate nutrition science into practical advice, considering your symptoms, health, preferences, lifestyle and goals rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all diet.
Helping people eat well when food becomes complicated
Humans can thrive on a variety of eating patterns but that doesn't mean that everything we eat has the same impact on our health.
Good nutrition is about more than weight. It's about getting enough of the nutrients your body needs, supporting metabolic and digestive health, enjoying food and creating eating habits that are realistic enough to sustain over time.
We don't believe in unnecessary restriction, rigid food rules or chasing the latest nutrition trend. We also don't believe that "anything goes" is good nutrition. Our approach sits somewhere in the middle.
We'll help you work out what matters for your health and how to put it into practice without turning food into another source of stress.
Gut Health &
Food Intolerances
Digestive symptoms, food intolerances and restrictive diets can make eating feel complicated. We help you understand your symptoms, identify what actually needs addressing and work towards the widest, most nourishing diet possible
Metabolic & Long Term Health
Nutrition plays an important role in metabolic health, cardiovascular health and reducing chronic disease risk. We focus on sustainable changes to food quality, fibre, protein, plant foods, eating patterns and other lifestyle factors without unnecessary restriction.
Eating Behaviour
Knowing what to eat is only part of the picture. We use behavioural science, mindful and intuitive eating approaches to help you understand your habits, hunger and fullness cues, environment and barriers and support you to make changes that actually stick.
Mentoring & Supervision
I provide mentorship and supervision for nutrition graduates, offering you the opportunity to be nurtured and guided in your early career phase. There are a number of options and prices depending on your situation, so please get in touch.
