FEATURED STORIES

  • "After 4 months of the 5R process with Grainne, I am 14kgs lighter, full of energy, with no inflammation in my body, good digestion, glowy skin, and, apart from that, a great routine to balance out work and me time, a great protocol for supplements and great recipes to help my body stay in shape and knowledge on how to eat healthy foods and foods that are good for my body. What I appreciate most about Gráinne's approach is that it is scientific and personalised — the process, supplements, diet are tailored and personalised based on the results of very thorough tests, so responding to each individual's personal needs in terms of digestive system healing, from a holistic perspective. I wholeheartedly recommend it!"

    — Alexandra, Functional Health Reset

  • "I wanted to say thank you again for all your hard work to help me get better. This may sound melodramatic, but I feel that you've saved my life, my career and improved my marriage. When I came to you I was looking at a last ditch attempt to help my anxiety, which medication was failing miserably at controlling. I could barely make it out to the supermarket to do a food shop and came back trembling and in tears each time. Now I'm planning a backpacking trip to southeast Asia! Even before any tests were run you made some simple suggestions to alter my (already healthy) diet. Within a month I made it out into town to meet friends... Following testing and more targeted intervention this has just moved forwards in leaps and bounds and I am no longer taking my twice daily medication. There were so many other things that I never even considered you would be able to help with, but that have all improved including hair loss, severely dry skin, severely dry eyes, hay fever symptoms, aches, pains and stiffness causing interrupted sleep. Throughout it all you were supportive, encouraging and positive, and guided me with baby steps so that it wasn't overwhelming or daunting. I will never be able to thank you enough, and there isn't enough money in the world to ever repay you for giving me my life back."

    — Cath, Functional Health Reset

  • "I have a family history of cancer related illness and consulted Grainne as I wanted to know if there were any lifestyle or dietary changes I could make to try to minimise my risk. Grainne recommended a methylation test which was easy to do and the results came in within about 3 weeks. She interpreted the results and prescribed supporting foods and supplements. As my motivation for this consultation was preventative, I honestly didn't think I'd notice anything. I'm 51 and was experiencing some peri-menopausal symptoms (PMS, heavy periods etc). Anyway, I'm 3 months on with my supplements and I can happily say that my peri-menopausal symptoms have noticeably decreased. I'm really surprised that by making a few easy, inexpensive changes that my day to day life could be so improved. I can highly recommend working with Grainne, not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and understanding but also one of the nicest people you could meet."

HORMONES & CYCLE

  • "If you're looking for a natural way to support your health and feel your best, I highly recommend working with Grainne! I started my journey with her to find an alternative to topical steroids and immunosuppressants for my psoriasis, but what I gained was so much more. Not only have I seen incredible improvements — no more new psoriasis plaques, better sleep, weight loss, and an overall brighter mood — but I also got my energy back, something I thought was impossible due to aging. I no longer hit that afternoon slump and can truly enjoy each day to the fullest. Grainne has been a game-changer in my health journey, and I'm so grateful for her guidance!"

    — Kelly, Hormone Harmony

  • "Cannot recommend Grainne or Janice enough! Having lost my routine this year and feeling a bit lost with my nutrition in general and sports nutrition, both of them helped me so much! I suffered from bloating, PMS and acne. The plan which was prescribed for me worked wonders, I had so much more energy and my symptoms radically decreased!! They also taught me so much about the importance of variety in eating, balancing meals and how even with a pretty restrictive diet which I follow (no fish, meat or eggs), it's still possible to have a variety of balanced meals and enjoy your food!! They provided so much support not just in terms of nutrition but also mental support to help me keep on track, meal ideas and I also learnt so much about how fuelling my body with the right types of food can improve my performance with training! They are genuinely two of the nicest people I've ever been lucky enough to work with. So supportive, encouraging, understanding with a wealth of knowledge and experience. I now feel I have the tools to continue my nutrition journey, put everything into practice and nourish my body to look after it in the best way possible!"

    — Mona, Happier Hormones

GUT & DIGESTIVE

  • "Working with Grainne was such a win. Together we improved many aspects of my health, some of which had become chronic issues (especially gut-related). Her expert advice and guidance, as well as her kind, professional presence made it easy to trust the process and create big changes in my diet and lifestyle, overall health and wellbeing."

    — Marieke, Functional Health Reset

  • "I met Grainne after decades of struggling with IBS/IBD and until then all professionals I had seen mostly sent me home with a restrictive diet, or some medication which never solved my problems. I decided to work with a dietitian because I believed that nutrition is the key and because no doctor ever wanted to know how I was eating. When I started to work with Grainne, I was quite desperate, but I also had doubts because until then everyone had failed me. She did not. Not only did she 'shock' me with her vast knowledge in functional medicine, her thoroughness and attention to the last detail — she also always received me with a smile and kindness in a period where life was throwing at me one challenge after the other. She was very supportive and accompanied me with a lot of empathy all the way, and never ran out of ideas on how to understand my body processes even better. My journey has not finished due to an unlucky infection that interfered with my very obvious progress in terms of digestion, yet Grainne did not just leave me hanging after our work together finished. She sent me off with a detailed plan, including supplements, that I can follow to recover full gut health."

    — Evi, Functional Health Reset

  • "I consulted Grainne after suffering from a huge sudden outbreak of acne and rash-like symptoms on my cheeks, as well as suffering with digestive issues. Grainne put me on a comprehensive plan, involving tests that I would have never been exposed to conventionally. Throughout the time I have been working with Grainne, I have been given concrete answers about food intolerances, hormones, nutrient deficiencies and support to tackle these issues. Grainne hasn't just helped me physically (my skin and gut health is so much better), but she has also helped me improve my mental health — she is always there to talk to, even between appointments. I highly recommend her services."

    — LS, London

  • "I went for a consultation with Grainne after suffering with IBS for over 10 years which was impacting my work, social life and general wellbeing. With Grainne's advice and a simple plan my health and wellbeing has improved enormously. My gut is happy for the first time in over ten years! My symptoms have vanished and I'm now feeling healthy and inspired with her tips, recipes and ideas. I've even lost a little bit of extra weight that I've been trying to shift!"

    — Christie

ENERGY, WEIGHT & BURNOUT

  • "The first time I saw Grainne I was suffering from fatigue, allergies and a pair of jeans I could no longer fit into. I was amazed with how connected and engaged Grainne was throughout the consultation. I found out it wasn't more expensive or more time consuming to eat well, and also look after myself more through her help and guidance. Her relaxed and personalised approach has taught me not only about diet but about lifestyle. I really want to thank Grainne for her help and positive motivation and would encourage anyone to find out how they can improve themselves from within with her expert guidance and knowledge."

    — Katie

  • "Grainne was recommended to me by a friend, whom I had not seen in a while. I was so amazed at how great she looked, I wanted the secret. After struggling with sleep issues, I am finally getting better quality sleep. I have lost weight and kept it off and developed greater awareness as to what I eat and drink. What I really appreciate in Grainne's approach is her very personal and approachable manner; she really tries to find the most suitable options for you and your lifestyle. She is very positive and encouraging, and I really enjoy our monthly sessions, where I get ongoing guidance and advice. I certainly recommend her services!"

    — Oana

ANXIETY & NERVOUS SYSTEM

  • "In a world of AI, it was wonderful to be able to have my own personal HI (human intelligence) for these last months, who had much better advice than Google/ChatGPT! A massive thanks for getting me back on track."

    — DH, Functional Health Reset

PREGNANCY & PRECONCEPTION

  • "I first consulted Grainne with a persistent digestive issue that was making my life very uncomfortable. I'd tried treating it with conventional medicine for years with no improvement and I was at my wits' end. I had a thorough and honest consultation with Grainne and she identified foods that, although labelled 'healthy,' were probably at the root of the problem. My stomach issues, which I'd had for years, cleared up after only a couple of days. Grainne really opened my eyes to the direct relationship what I eat has on my body, so when I became pregnant she was at the top of my list of people to consult. After a healthy and active pregnancy she continued to help me once my son was born. Most importantly, her nutritional suggestions got me through an initial struggle with breastfeeding and milk supply, without which I think I would have given up. I will definitely be booking consultations with Grainne in future to keep my family happy and well."

    — Kate Rose

  • "I came to see Grainne for pre-conception care and found her very thorough in her approach to find a plan that worked for me. Since meeting with her I have taken a new attitude to cooking in a much healthier way and the results have been fantastic. Physically and mentally I feel great and have really enjoyed using all the simple creative suggestions Grainne made to sneak extra veg in my meals."

    — MO

  • "Working with Gráinne definitely helped me prepare my body for a healthy pregnancy second time round. I had complications with the pregnancy of my only other child, 10 years ago, which so far have not made an appearance with this one. My OB is pretty surprised and impressed with how well this pregnancy is going, especially considering my age (44). Even though I was already eating relatively healthily when we started working together, learning about and addressing my specific nutrient deficiencies, as well as supporting my microbiome and digestion, must have contributed to me being able to support a strong, healthy pregnancy so far. I already feel this pregnancy is different from that of my older child, and I'm looking forward to a more positive, smoother ride through labour, birth, breastfeeding and beyond!"

GENERAL & FAMILY

  • "So thank you for getting to the bottom of my IBS issues, I can now happily eat out without embarrassing and painful consequences."

    — Anonymous

  • "The results following the treatment from Grainne were nothing short of miraculous. My six-year-old son has suffered with ear infections and nasal inflammation since he was two years old. Surgery, countless rounds of antibiotics and steroids only offered very short-term relief. Grainne was thorough and sensitive in her consultation. She offered a plan that was very manageable and she has been supportive all the way through. My son has absolutely blossomed since we started our new eating plan and supplements, his symptoms have cleared and he is brighter and clearer in his thinking. Our whole family has benefited from this experience and we have Grainne to thank for this."

    — JB, London

  • "I would like to thank you for the consultation last Thursday. It had a magic impact on me. Truly. It was very calming. You have a beautiful gift of authenticity, caring approach, competence and knowledge at the same time. One immediately trusts you, and believe me, I have seen many people and food consultants and have always approached it with a bit of scepticism. I saw you at a crucial moment and it was so worth it. You are amazing! A talent. A coach. A reader of people. All in one. I'm infinitely grateful to have your support!"

    — Agnieska

  • "I would like to highly recommend Grainne for anyone that is struggling with their body and food habits, and wants to feel better, fitter, and more alive. I love how Grainne is truly dedicated to helping me achieve my goals, working around my pesky habits, adjusting to my particular needs and whims, and celebrating successes together. I have been with Grainne for a few years now, starting at the point where I was incredibly stressed, constantly bloated, with high acid issues, feeling fatigued, and having fogged brain, while at the same time having a tremendously stressful job that required a lot of travel. All of that has changed now, because of Grainne's support. She got to the bottom of each issue, and created meal plans that catered to my crazy lifestyle, as well as gave suggestions as to recipes, where to get food, how to go about cravings. As a result, I have lost 10kg with Grainne's help, I no longer feel bloated, or have acid issues. Professionally, Grainne is the top specialist — she is incredibly knowledgeable, from the human body to emotions, to food, to solutions. I also cannot count the times when, after a consultation, she has gone and read more about my situation, as well as reached out to doctors and other dietitians for a tailored solution that made a big difference for me — all of that on her own, going the extra mile with a bright smile. In addition, what makes a big difference is that Grainne has a literally unlimited source of patience and compassion. I have always felt welcome, safe, and understood. In conclusion, if you want a happy body and happy self through nutrition, Grainne is the best support you can have to get there."
