Why I’m Passionate About Gut Health
I’m Melody, a registered nutritional therapist and certified microbiome analyst with a deep passion for digestive wellness. My journey into this field began when a close family member struggled with distressing symptoms of daily reflux, nausea, and abdominal pain that conventional treatments failed to resolve.
Seeing their frustration, I committed myself to researching the role of the gut microbiome in health. By implementing targeted dietary strategies and personalised nutritional interventions, I helped them achieve full symptom resolution.
This experience showed me just how many people suffer unnecessarily, believing that medications or restrictive diets are their only options. It’s why I became a gut health specialist to provide compassionate, science-backed nutritional support that empowers people to feel better, enjoy food again, and regain control of their health.

How I Work as a Gut Health Specialist
As a gut health specialist, I focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of digestive issues rather than just managing symptoms. My approach is based on Functional Medicine, which moves beyond symptom-based diagnoses to uncover underlying dysfunctions in digestion, immunity, and metabolism.
Why Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a personalised approach that considers the unique factors affecting your gut health. Instead of temporary fixes, it seeks to answer the WHY behind your symptoms and develop a customised nutritional protocol to support lasting digestive wellness.
To take the guesswork out of your gut health concerns, I recommend specialised functional testing, which provides a detailed road map for addressing:
- Nutrient deficiencies and absorption issues
- Microbiome imbalances and gut dysbiosis
- Food intolerances and sensitivities
- Chronic inflammation affecting digestive function
Personalised Nutrition & Coaching for Gut Health
Beyond lab testing, I integrate coaching strategies alongside nutritional therapy, ensuring a whole-person approach that supports both physical and emotional well-being. My clients benefit from:
- Personalised nutrition plans tailored to their unique digestive needs
- Sustainable habit changes to improve gut function and overall health
- Motivation and mindset coaching to eliminate cravings and build healthier food relationships
Most of my clients experience significant improvements in gut health within 3-6 months, with some seeing positive changes in just 1-2 weeks.

“I suffer from endometriosis, severe pain, vomiting, and nausea. Within the first month of seeing you, my energy levels improved and I no longer have any nausea or vomiting. If I hadn’t changed my diet, as suggested, I don’t think I would have been able to go back to work without Melody’s help as I was feeling sick all the time.”
