Sue Camp

Sue is a nutritional therapist and certified functional medicine practitioner, and the HealthMatters clinical lead of nutrition services. Sue specialises in gut health, hormone health and weight management.

My nutrition journey started when managing a safari camp in Botswana – although I didn’t know it then! 

After 4 years of catering in the safari camps I moved to Windhoek, Namibia and opened a restaurant and catering business to provide healthy, colourful and varied alternatives to the standard ‘red meat and potatoes’ that was on offer.

I loved the buzz of the catering industry, but also found it exhausting and after a few years realised my passion was not in the kitchen but in the application of nutritional science to create health, so I sold the business and relocated to the UK to study again.

My Training

After fast-tracking through the BSc degree, I completed an MSc in Personalised Nutrition.

I then spent 5 years working in Clinical Education with the functional testing laboratories.

I completed my Practitioner Certification with the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) in November 2019.

And so my training is grounded in ‘functional medicine’ which emphasises biochemical individuality and the importance of looking at the body as a series of interconnecting systems. I use evidence-based principles of functional nutrition (including appropriate laboratory testing) and effective neuro-linguistic programming techniques.

In October 2024, I started my next phase of training enrolling in an International Masters with the Pruimboom Institute to study Clinical Psycho-Neuro-Immunology (cPNI). It is a multidisciplinary field that explores the intricate relationships between the psychological, neurological, endocrine, and immune systems and their collective impact on health and disease. It bridges the gap between mind and body by investigating how mental and emotional states can influence physical health and vice versa.

My Areas of Expertise

I specialise in gut health, hormone health, weight management and also offer comprehensive health assessments, the results of which can map out a targeted path towards improved longevity.

My aim is to use systems biology approaches to help understand the underlying cause/s of imbalance and disease. I work with you to establish your personal health and nutrition goals whilst recognising the interplay of mental and physical health.

My intention is to create a personal, effective and manageable nutrition and lifestyle regime, which is realistic and practical, and shows lasting results.
