Fertility Nutritional Therapist
Eleanor (Eli) Sarre MA MA DipNT mBANT CNHC
Hi I’m Eli,
I’m a qualified and registered Fertility Nutritionist with additional online services to guide you through your nutrition and lifestyle journey.
My passion is working closely with future parents and producing unique and individualised programmes to assist you.
If you are preparing for pregnancy and want to delve deep into natural fertility and nutritional support,
If you are struggling with digestive, hormonal or immune conditions or have a complex mix of concerns,
I am here to support you with science-based nutritional protocols and cheer you on –
every step of the way towards your particular health goals.
My practice methods involve functional testing to find out exactly what is needed for each client and a detailed analysis of symptoms.
I spend my time researching the best in nutritional approaches to hormone health and fertility, gut health and anti-inflammatory foods and can provide eating, lifestyle and supplement advice without the confusion.
My personal food philosophy is that our diets should be as close as possible to their natural state. This means eating the food our bodies have naturally evolved to use as fuel, unprocessed; wild. Depending on our unique health needs, different types of foods can be particularly beneficial for us.
I have a love of food and cooking and enjoy recommending delicious, nutritious and easy to prepare meals. Eating the right food is a way of nourishing and caring for ourselves in the best possible way.
MY STORY
Studying and practicing nutrition has changed my life in every way.
In my 20s I became severely unwell. I had asthma and used to rely on steroid medication. I was in severe digestive pain every day despite the scans and tests coming back clear. My emotional and physical wellbeing was the lowest it had ever been and I was searching for answers.
Thankfully, I discovered nutrition and for the first time in many years I began to understand how to nourish myself and support my health. The gift it has provided has been more powerful than I could imagine.
Beyond that, working with clinic patients was a revelation for me. I remember one of my early clinic patients who was suffering with the most painful psoriasis together with physical and emotional difficulties following a string of traumatic life events. We developed nutrition and lifestyle strategies to address both the severity of the skin condition and also to make positive changes which resulted in her finding the energy to move again.
Since that moment I’ve felt incredibly humbled and privileged to witness people transform their health and happiness.
I have extensive personal and professional experience with neurodiversity and welcome enquiries from individuals who identify as neurodivergent.
We also extend a warm welcome to those from LGBTQIA+ community and those who are navigating assisted fertility as individuals or same sex couples.
MY WORK
In addition to my in person and online nutrition clinics, I worked with Foresight Preconception at their head office from 2014-2017. For four decades, Foresight pioneered the development of pre-pregnancy and natural fertility support and was there for thousands of clients through conception, pregnancy, birth and post-natal health concerns including unexplained fertility challenges, repeated miscarriage, secondary fertility challenges and low birth weight. The Foresight programme also proved beneficial for mothers and their young children.
I have undertaken specialist fertility training with Fertility Nutritionist Angela Heap’s AH Fertility Academy and Sandra Greenbank’s Making Babies Naturally mentorship programme and offer over a decade of clinical experience. I am thrilled to say that I have helped hundreds of clients with this journey. For client stories please see the testimonials page.
Since qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist, I regularly attend further training in gut, hormone and immune health. I have a special interest in nutritional immunology and autoimmune support and am NTEC certified (Nutritional Therapy Education Commission) for Oncology support: “Nutritional support before, during and after treatment and beyond”.
I have written nutrition articles for a wide range of publications including Your Healthy Living and Women’s Fitness, organisations including The College of Naturopathic Medicine, as well as providing content for journalists, probiotic drinks companies, organic food companies, supplement companies and health charities.
