Julie Deeks

Nutritional Therapist

Bio

Julie is a Nutritional Therapist with over 18 years of experience, helping patients make meaningful and sustainable improvements to their health through personalised nutritional and lifestyle support. Her approach is holistic, evidence-based, and focused on understanding the underlying factors that may be contributing to symptoms and affecting quality of life.

Julie’s own health journey and interest in a more integrated approach to wellbeing led her to the science of nutrition. She believes that understanding the individual, rather than simply treating symptoms, is an important part of supporting better health. She is passionate about helping patients understand the relationship between nutrition, lifestyle, and health, and providing the knowledge and support they need to make informed changes.

Julie believes that taking the first step to understand your health can be both empowering and transformative. She works closely with each patient to understand their individual concerns, establish clear goals, and develop a practical plan that fits their lifestyle. Her approach combines expert nutritional knowledge with coaching skills to help patients make realistic and lasting changes.

As a qualified Nutritional Therapist, Julie has a specialist interest in supporting women with their hormonal health, digestive issues, thyroid concerns, energy and weight management. Her approach looks at the bigger picture, including diet and nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep and individual and family health history, to help identify factors that may be contributing to symptoms and support the body’s natural process of healing.

Where appropriate, Julie may discuss functional laboratory testing as part of the assessment process. Depending on an individual’s symptoms and circumstances, this can provide additional information to help inform a personalised nutritional and lifestyle programme.

Julie was a dancer until the age of 19 and has always enjoyed being active. Today, she enjoys yoga and Pilates and has a passion for creating simple, nourishing meals that are full of flavour and offer a real nutritional boost. She has a chocolate cockapoo, who gets lots of walks in the park, plus all the benefits of a healthy diet, and she is thriving!
