Chloe Adam

Chloe is a nutritional therapist who specialises in weight loss, gut health, skin health and women’s hormones. Her approach focuses on small and sustainable changes to nourish your body and help you to reach your health goals.

I’m a BANT and CNHC-registered Nutritional Therapist, with a special interest in digestive health and weight management, as well as supporting women’s hormones and skin health. 

In today’s world we are constantly being told what to eat, or more specifically what not to eat. This advice comes from everywhere we look, whether it’s social media, adverts on TV or a magazine article. The majority of this advice is very restrictive, conflicting, and something that in reality is very unlikely to be sustainable. Perhaps you have found yourself counting calories or following the latest diet. You stay “on track” for a few weeks, and then “fall off the wagon” or might return to a more typical eating pattern. Then suddenly you find you might have gained more weight than when you started, or perhaps the diet is so stress inducing that it exacerbates your digestive problems? If this sounds like you, you are not alone, and I can assure you it is not down to your willpower! 

My approach is different. I focus on a ‘nourish don’t punish’ approach. This is all about helping to fuel the body and build small but sustainable goals, slowly stacking these goals into a natural and consistent lifestyle change. My method is science-led and is personalised to you – your goals, your health history and your lifestyle. This approach allows you to enjoy food, while still achieving those health goals! 

About Me

I started out my journey by studying Psychology at The University of Sussex. I wanted to understand the mind and learn to help those struggling with their own mental health. Once I finished my degree, I began to notice the power of food and nutrition, and how subtle changes would significantly influence my own mood and energy levels. I went on to study Personalised Nutrition, which combined the Functional Approach and evidence-based research. I then realised that I could help people with their physical and mental health, but I could give them the resources to do it from their own home. 

While studying I suffered with my own health issues, and was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I realised that this was an ‘invisible disease’ where the symptoms of extreme fatigue, nausea, and digestive pains were something that others without the disease couldn’t understand – I looked fine from the outside, but inside I was fighting against a brewing storm. Experiencing this has helped me to understand the importance of personalised nutrition, and how there is no one-size fits all approach. Following a ‘typical gut health diet’ did nothing for my symptoms, and I needed to take a functional approach and consider myself as an individual – what was driving my inflammation, which foods don’t suit my body, how was stress contributing to my symptoms? From there, I changed my diet, I adjusted my lifestyle and now I can successfully say my symptoms no longer control me. Experiencing this has helped me to not only see the importance of a personalised approach, but also to be understanding and empathise with each and every one of my clients symptoms and health goals.

My Approach

I work using the Functional Medicine Model, which is at the core of personalised nutrition. This uses evidence-based research to address the root causes of illness and to rebalance the body. During a nutrition session, I will be considering all systems of the body, from hormones to digestive health to detoxification in order to restore balance and reach your health goals. 

No individual is the same, as everyone has a different health history, genetic make-up, lifestyle, diet, and perception of the world. Therefore, a personalised and evidence-based approach is vital to achieving optimal health and wellness. 

Within this approach, I focus on nourishing and fuelling the body, while also including a nutrition education element to your sessions. After your sessions with me, you will not only know how to build a healthy plate and what to eat to support your health goals, but also know why. This is one of the key factors to maintaining behaviour change and consistency and to successfully achieving your health goals.

I offer a safe and non-judgmental space, a place for you to open up as much or as little as you feel comfortable. My goal and passion is to help you feel happier and healthier again.
