What It Is
At Courtyard Clinic, nutrition is about more than just diet plans – it’s about understanding the way food interacts with every system in your body. Our qualified practitioners work with you to create personalised, evidence-based strategies that support your health today and in the long term.
We Cover a Wide Range Of Areas Including:
Metabolic Health
Your metabolism is central to how your body uses energy. Nutrition can play a major role in managing blood sugar balance, insulin resistance, and healthy weight control. Evidence-based strategies such as optimising fibre intake, balancing macronutrients, and timing meals effectively can improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and lower the risk of metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes.
Cardiovascular Health
Diet is a key factor in heart and circulatory health. We provide practical advice on lowering cholesterol, improving blood pressure, and supporting vascular health through food choices. This includes evidence-based recommendations such as increasing omega-3 fatty acids, reducing processed foods, and eating a wide variety of colourful fruit and vegetables.
Nutrition can help reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease and improve long-term heart health.
Hormone Health
Hormones affect everything from energy and mood to metabolism and sleep. Nutritional strategies can help balance hormones naturally, supporting thyroid function, adrenal resilience, and blood sugar regulation. We consider your lifestyle, stress levels, and diet to create a plan that promotes healthy hormone function and overall wellbeing.
Female Health
Women’s nutritional needs change across life stages, from menstruation to pregnancy, peri-menopause and beyond. We offer tailored advice to support bone density, iron levels, hormone balance, and healthy weight management. Whether you are experiencing PMS, menopausal symptoms, or looking to support fertility, personalised nutrition can help restore balance and energy.
Sport Health
Whether you are an elite athlete or a weekend runner, nutrition is key to performance and recovery. We provide science-based strategies on fuelling training, supporting muscle repair, and preventing injury. We also advise on hydration, supplement use, and recovery foods so that you can perform at your best and stay healthy.
Bone Health
Strong bones need more than calcium. We look at the role of vitamin D, magnesium, protein, and other nutrients in maintaining bone density and preventing osteoporosis. Nutrition can be especially important for women post-menopause, athletes with high training loads, and anyone with a family history of bone loss.
Gut Health
Maintaining a healthy gut is essential for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption, making it a foundation for good health. We can advise on the best ways to feed beneficial gut bacteria, increase dietary diversity, and manage food sensitivities or intolerances. A healthy gut is linked not only to digestive comfort, but also to improved immunity, mood, and overall wellbeing.
Mental Health
What you eat – and what you don’t eat – can have a profound impact on mood, focus, and mental resilience. A ‘food for the brain’ diet can help increase neurotransmitter production, reduce neuro-inflammation, and promote the growth of new brain cells. This can support better mental health, improved memory, and more balanced energy levels throughout the day.
Genetic Health
John is a qualified nutrigenomics practitioner with Lifecode GX. Using DNA analysis, he can offer highly personalised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on your unique genes and metabolism. This allows us to identify specific nutrient needs, optimise detoxification pathways, and support long-term health in a way that is uniquely tailored to you.
