About Me

I have suffered from ME/CFS since I was 40. I'm now 68. In that time I've tried many supplements, therapies etc to try and improve my condition, some helped, some didn't. I can't prepare meals so a diet regime was out of the question so I gave up on that. Last year I was just over the border into diabetes and was prescribed metformin which the M.E reacted very badly to, causing the most horrendous migraines leaving me too weak to get out of bed for a full day. I just wanted to die. Then along came Sally through a friend. I came off the metformin and with Sally's suggestions of food combinations  - which I'd never have put together  -  we got my blood sugar levels right down and my energy levels are now back to pre metformin levels. I love breakfast! She has tailored my diet to my M.E capabilities with meals that take little or no preparation. 

I had heard of gene expression research in M.E many years ago but someone said it will be years before that's available, but at last, with Sally's help, I've been able to have two tests, metabolic and nervous system, both with amazing results which she says we can address. 

I have always felt that some of the root cause of M.E is in the brain and central nervous system and for myself I feel slightly less ill on the rare days that my head feels clear. If Sally and the technical team she works alongside of can address this we could well be on to something!

I have also tentatively been told over the years I've been ill by medical professionals that M.E is possibly due to chemical imbalances in the brain. Interesting then that my results show glutamate too high and GABA too low. Sally has suggested ginger to help address this and I'm already noticing a benefit.

If I can reach a comfortable M.E level where I can visit my family as long as I pace myself I'll be more than happy with that. Sally says we'll work towards it! She is lovely to work with and very knowledgeable, far far better than taking advice from a regular dietician who would have no concept of the limitations of M.E. Thank you Sally, you are amazing!

 " Sally has provided me with a great deal of nutritional advice for myself and family over the years. I have always found her recommendations incredibly helpful and practical to implement. She has always been very kind, caring and supportive, and her knowledge and experience invaluable. I have recently carried out genetic hormone testing through Sally. The information was mind blowing. Sally broke down and explained this very complicated science report in a really easy to understand way. She set me my own very specific nutritional plan, advising on foods and supplements that are both beneficial and not agreeable to me personally. I was so surprised to find things that I was eating and drinking because I thought they were ‘healthy’ actually are detrimental to me.  However I was very pleased to learn that foods I love can also have a positive effect on my hormones when consumed in moderation.  My energy levels have definitely improved. Thank you Sally"  Jennifer 48
