Therapeutic Nutrition Consultation
What is Therapeutic Nutrition?

Personalised, integrative, and evidence-based methodology which is clinically tested with real world clients in 50+ countries.

Personalised

Each individual with fatigue is a unique case, and effective intervention needs to not just recognise this, but ultimately be guided by it

Integrative

Complex conditions require approaches with an intricate framework which draws from the best of all disciplines

Evidence-Based

Our approach is not only heavily informed by research, we also contribute towards it with publications in journals such as British Medical Journal Open and Medical Hypotheses

Nutritional Therapy

At the heart of our model is a nutritional therapy approach which integrates the best of food, biomedical testing, and carefully chosen supplement interventions

Psychology Tools

Working closely alongside our sister training in Therapeutic Coaching, practitioners are trained to understand and integrate key mind-body elements into their protocols

Clinically Proven

Our approach has been tried and tested with over 10,000 clients at our sister clinic The Optimum Health Clinic since 2004

The Team Behind Therapeutic Nutrition

Kirsty Cullen

Chief Executive The Optimum Health Clinic

Kirsty became CEO of OHC in 2020 after a decade of working within various departments within the organisation, including formerly as Director of Nutrition.  Previously having worked in executive recruitment for 10 years, her interest in nutrition began as a consequence of health issues experienced by her own daughter, and her own mother's struggles with M.E/CFS.

Following her graduation in Nutritional Therapy, Kirsty embraced a number of different and exciting career opportunities through the establishment of her own nutrition clinic, which saw her undertake a number of nutrition roles within the professional sports arena. This included working as a Nutritional Therapist at St George’s Park National Football Centre and also for the League Managers Association, assessing and advising football managers and elite athletes on health, energy provision and injury recovery. Kirsty also worked as Lead Nutritional Therapist at Derby County Football Club, establishing an umbrella nutrition strategy for the club, in addition to providing one-to-one nutrition plans for all players.
