Who am I?
I'm Lucy & you have found Lucy Sparkes Nutrition. I have been working as a Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in clinical practice for over 12 years and so have helped a wealth of different people achieve wellness.
I work with commitment, compassion, critical-thinking and conscientiousness. It is not enough to send you away with a list of ideals setting you up to fail, I work with each individual to help achieve your health goals using a combination of functional medicine, naturopathic nutritional therapy, health coaching & intuition. Therefore it is vital to me that I get to know you, not only your health picture; but also your lifestyle, family situation, time restraints and passions in life!
I use nutritional interventions for all areas of health but I have particular experience & specialism in digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) including SIBO & other functional causes of digestive distress, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD - Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis). I am particularly interested in how the close link between the gut and brain manifests in each individual & so have a special interest in SEN, anxiety & mood disorders and the spectrum of neuro-diversity such as autism, ASD, ADHD, sensory processing, anxiety, dyslexia & dyspraxia.
I also work as a Nutrition Consultant advising Professional Food Supplement Companies on their range; providing critical analysis, writing evidence-based articles, offering mentoring and technical advice to other Nutrition professionals & liaising with customers.
