female health and fertility

 

Mrs McArthur, Middlesex

I was a Mum of three that was extra tired, feeling overweight and hadn't had any periods a year after my third baby. I just felt awful. After browsing the internet for a solution one night I felt nutritional therapy may have an answer for me and boy was I right! I found a contact for Nicola and learnt so much after my very first consultation. At the end of that consultation I confidently knew what I should be eating and given a course of supplements. Within one month my periods returned, I felt alert, I had tons of energy, my skin and hair improved and I was losing some weight. I also was hoping to get pregnant and with patience and persistence on Nicola's guidelines 6 months later I found myself pregnant!! It was so good everyone was asking me what I was doing to look great and I couldn't help but recommend it to my family. My Mum had an over active thyroid problem and was on medication. She went to see Nicola and also was given advice on her diet and given a course of supplements. Within three months she felt great and the symptoms were under control. Later the doctor confirmed with blood test results that her thyroid was normal and she could come off the medication. My father in Law, who is a big sceptic when it comes to any heath advice other than from a doctor, was convinced (after lots of begging!!) to see Nicola for a consultation. She gave him some nutritional advice regarding his illnesses especially his high blood pressure and he was determined to give it a try. At his next doctors appointment he shocked not only himself but his GP by having lower blood pressure as for years his high blood pressure had always been a problem and finally he had found a way of controlling it. So I witnessed three successes and I would recommend Nicola to anyone who seriously wants to improve their health and wellbeing!!

Having suffered from endometriosis for over 10 years and being in pain and feeling uncomfortable most days, seeing Nicola really did make a difference. For once someone listened to how I was feeling and helped me to understand how important diet was and how eating the right foods could help. I’ve been following Nicola’s advice for nearly two years now and I am happier and most certainly healthier.

I went to see Nicola for help with my periods which had been irregular since coming off the pill 18 months earlier. My periods were also painful and I had numerous PMS symptoms in the lead-up to my period. My husband and I wanted to sort these issues out before starting a family. Within a month of following Nicola’s diet and supplement programme, my cycle had shortened and my periods were noticeably less painful. Within three months, my cylcle was back to normal, relatively painless and my PMS symptoms had disappeared. With Nicola’s pre-conceptual advice for both me and my husband, we conceived within the first month and are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of our first baby, which we're confident will benefit from my improved health and nutrition. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone wanting to address their health problems naturally or even for anyone just wanting to improve their health.

 

Nicky, South West London
I went to see Nicola after I was diagnosed with endometriosis as I wanted to deal with it naturally as I didn’t want to go on the pill because I wanted to get pregnant. I was feeling very emotional about everything at the time and was scared about my chances of conceiving having read up loads to do with endometriosis on the internet! Nicola was very kind and understanding and didn’t make me feel stupid with all my questions and concerns. She explained what endometriosis was really clearly which was something neither my doctor or gynaecologist had done! I had quite a few appointments with Nicola as there was lots to work on. She worked on balancing my hormones, improving my digestion and supporting my liver. My period pain got loads better and also my energy levels improved and my depression and anxiety lifted. I had a laparoscopy 8 months after first seeing Nicola which I recovered from really well and got pregnant 2 months after that!

 

Georgina, London
I consulted Nicola to get help with PCOS. My periods had stopped and while didn’t have any of the other nasty symptoms associated with the syndrome I wanted to restore balance to my hormones and prevent further problems. I hadn’t realised that balancing blood sugar was such a key element in PCOS treatment, and I found Nicola’s suggestions and approach very easy to follow. Changes to my diet along with nutritional supplements and herbs saw my periods return a few months later. As an aside, and added bonus, I also noticed my energy levels improve and the mild insomnia I had suffered from for years disappear. I would happily recommend Nicola to anyone.

 

Sarah, North London
I had spent 2 years unsuccessfully trying to become pregnant before seeing Nicola. The help and advice she gave me was invaluable and to my great joy discovered I was pregnant literally 3 months after making the changes to my diet she suggested! I truly believe my pregnancy success was due to her programme and I will be eternally grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

 

digestive disorders

 

Jo, North London
Meeting Nicola really changed my life. I had been suffering with a stomach disorder for years which was really preventing me from doing many of the things I like to do. I had had numerous hospital tests but no one was able to identify what was wrong and the doctors actually misdiagnosed it which resulted in a course of medication which made it even worse. After just one session with Nicola, she was able to pinpoint the exact problem and within a few weeks of following her recommendations, the problem was under control and with time will be gone forever. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

 

Sarah, East London
I had suffered with IBS for about 15 years before seeing Nicola, and had come to the conclusion that my painful and bloated stomach was something I would just have to put up with for the rest of my life. But seeing Nicola was a revelation! It was great to speak to someone who really seemed to “get” how I was feeling, and more importantly her optimism that we would be able to improve my symptoms really enthused me to follow her programme. I began to see an improvement almost immediately which surprised me as I’d tried so many other things in the past which had not worked in the slightest. Now I can hardly remember what it was like to worry about my bloated stomach all the time!

 

Kim, Kent

I was diagnosed with IBS in my teens and right into my thirties and 2 children later it still caused me bother on a daily basis. I was so nervous to eat anything as the cramps could be debilitating and my diet became very bland. I’d tried various gels and tablets from the doctor, but nothing worked. A friend suggested I see Nicola after going to one of her talks as she thought she might be able to help me. I was asked to complete a questionnaire, and met with Nicola a week later. She spent a great deal of time finding out about my life, my symptoms and what my diet was currently like. She was very easy to talk to, and I was encouraged by her positive attitude. She took the trouble to explain what she thought could be the cause of my problems in a way I could understand and I think this really helped me stick to the dietary recommendations she made. She did suggest I cut certain things from my diet which was something I had worried about prior to seeing her, but I was given loads of alternatives and in fact, her suggestions actually encouraged me to eat a much more varied diet than the one I had existed on before. I was impressed to notice an improvement almost immediately. There were a few occasions when my problems came back, but I had support from Nicola even after the consultation which really helped. My symptoms are much improved now, and I feel much more in tune with my body as a result of the information and explanations I received from Nicola.

 

Adam, South West London
Nicola really helped me out with my heart burn by bizarrely enough suggesting I was not producing enough stomach acid rather than producing too much as I has always believed! I took a test she recommended which confirmed her suspicions and took a course of supplements on her instruction to resolve the problem. I feel much better now!

 

Lucy, Twickenham
I took nutritional advice from Nicola after years of digestive problems for which I had been told there was nothing that could be done and that it was something I would “just have to put up with”! Nicola however properly investigated my case and accurately got to the root of my problems. After just a few weeks an improvement in my health was evident, and things have continued to improve since then.

 

fatigue and anxiety

 

Emily, North London
I went to see Nicola as I was suffering from anxiety and fatigue and thought I might need to look at my diet. Her approach was very compassionate and attentive. She gave me a detailed plan to follow which included supplements, delicious ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner and practical life-style ideas. I have kept to a number of her suggestions and have found that I generally feel much calmer and less tired than before. I would highly recommend her as a nutritionist.

 

type II diabetes

 

Phil, Kent
I took advice from Nicola regarding my diet when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She helped me balance my blood sugar levels by giving me easy rules to follow; what to eat and when to eat. She also suggested supplements and encouraged me to take some exercise. I can manage my diabetes through my diet now and I always stick to the plan Nicola gave me.

 

weight loss

 

Martin, London
I contacted Nicola Moore following advice from my doctor to see a nutritionist about my weight. At the time I was 21 stone, had eczema, sleep problems and shortness of breath. It was great to speak to someone who spoke with authority about diet and lifestyle and who treated me as the individual I am (rather than just giving me a generic diet sheet as I’d received in the past at my doctor’s surgery). I was given lots of food ideas, recipes and plenty of support. The best thing about seeing Nicola was the feeling of motivation following our meetings. She was so enthusiastic and helpful. I could not have lost the weight without her – I needed to lose 5 stone and achieved this without ever feeling deprived. My eczema, sleep problems and shortness of breath are also now a thing of the past thanks to my new healthy diet and lifestyle. Now in my forties, thanks to Nicola I am happier and have more energy than I ever did in my twenties and thirties. I wish I had known about nutritional therapy back then!

 

sports nutrition

 

Lee, Twickenham
After weight training for a number of years and not seeing any significant results, I saw Nicola and she carefully looked at my training programme and asked me to keep a detailed food diary for 2 weeks. I have always thought that I knew quite a lot about sports nutrition but after seeing Nicola she completely changed my ways of eating and the results were almost immediate. Not only did I gain significant muscle mass but I also lost fat and had loads more energy. I would seriously recommend anyone see Nicola who wanted any advice and guidance with sports nutrition.

 

Rhys, South West London
Nicola helped me with my nutrition when I trained for the London Marathon. She gave me a personalised programme which was updated at regular intervals to meet my changing needs. Of particular help was the information she gave me regarding carbo loading. My endurance was definitely improved as a result.

 

Andrea, Richmond
As an athlete it was incredibly frustrating when I found my performance levels plateau and then decrease. I was also found I was beginning to actually put on weight which is something I had never had an issue with. I sought help from Nicola Moore as I knew my lack of nutritional knowledge could be playing a part in my problems. Nicola’s views were fascinating – although I have to confess I didn’t much like it when she suggested I was over-training (as well as being deficient in certain nutrients)! However, tests she ran confirmed her suspicions and allowed me to see in black and white how my years of training on a substandard diet had resulted in a hormonal imbalance. Within a couple of months my energy levels were sky high and my athletic performance began to improve (on less training!). I owe her a huge debt of gratitude.
