Changing your diet has the power to change your health

Eleanor Strang saw my daughter who had been suffering with various symptoms and bouts of ill health. She was thorough, totally professional, kind and easy to talk to. Eleanor carefully evaluated my daughter’s busy lifestyle and her food choices as well as listening to her list of upsets. This enabled Eleanor to treat my daughter holistically rather than just by her symptoms. Eleanor’s roots are placed firmly in the biochemistry and science of the human body, she has intricate knowledge of the body’s complex interlinking systems and so is able to optimise the functions of these, delivering scientifically sound principals with cutting edge, evidence based research, and all presented in an understandable way. My daughter received excellent advice on nutrition, was guided on supplements and a healthier lifestyle and is now in perfect health.

I consulted Eleanor primarily to help with my chronic rhinitis and loss of smell and taste, which strangely developed after a cold and a period of fairly acute stress, though I’m not sure it was linked. After several trips to the GP and trying several different therapies, including acupuncture, none of which made any difference, I was referred to an ENT specialist in April 2013. The specialist thoroughly checked my nasal cavity, which resulted in no sign of anything untoward, but despite all efforts and therapies my loss of smell and taste did not improve. Eleanor then took a very comprehensive health history and analysed my diet and came up with a protocol that was anti-inflammatory and designed to ease congestion in my nose and sinuses. It did involve some specific supplements, for a short period, but it worked and within a week or two, my sense of smell started to return. It took some weeks for it to be back to normal, but I have now regained my full sense of taste and smell again which is as good as it was prior to my situation at the end of 2012.

After many years of trying to get pregnant, we began IVF treatment in 2014. Working with Eleanor on our nutrition gave us a confidence that we were doing everything we could. The advice was easy to understand. We feel that following Eleanor’s guidance has significantly contributed to Louise now being 13 weeks pregnant.

I can not recommend Eleanor highly enough. After suffering with low thyroid, and continually having to increase my synthetic thyroid hormone replacement medication, Eleanor identified the condition as autoimmune thyroiditis – Hashimotos. A plan was put together to manage the underlying autoimmunity and after 6 months, re-testing my thyroid antibodies, they were back down registering in the normal range, which was confirmed by my GP. My results have been remarkable.
