About me.
Joanne Hurley DipION, Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner RCNHC MBANT.
I love food. So it’s no surprise I studied it.
Thanks to my incredible health-nut of a mum, I’ve always known the way to go when it comes to eating and living well. While I knew what to eat to feel good (and what sent me spinning the other way), I never really understood the why.
Travelling across South East Asia in 2018 triggered a desire to reconnect with my passion, leading to four years of study at The Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London, graduating with a distinction in nutritional therapy.
Learning about biochemistry (the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms), and the wonderful cascade of events that are triggered from just a mouthful of the good stuff, is frankly outstanding. Even now, the capabilities of the human body still blow my mind daily.
Always thinking about food first, I combine this knowledge with my love for good quality ingredients - together with simple, unintimidating rituals - to deliver a sensible approach to living a healthy life, and to ignite in you a love affair with good food.
My method in a nutshell
I am a science-based practitioner who relies on natural methods to restore balance and optimise health, with a focus on identifying and supporting the underlying root cause rather than just the symptoms.
Relying on natural means and evidence-based research, I work with diet, lifestyle, nutrigenomics (a subset of genomics which focuses on genes that relate and respond to nutrition and lifestyle interventions), supplements, avoidance of chemicals, support for detoxification, and relief of stressors.
