Digestive & Gut Health

Good Health Begins in the Gut

Your digestive system does far more than process food, it’s at the heart of your overall health and vitality. When your gut is out of balance, the effects can extend far beyond digestion, influencing how you feel on every level.

As a Naturopath and Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, I take a holistic, science-led, and naturopathic approach to uncovering the root causes of your digestive symptoms — helping to restore balance, calm, and function from the inside out.

It’s estimated that around 40% of people in the UK experience digestive symptoms that interfere with daily life. Over time, these can become accepted as “normal” — but they are often your body’s way of signalling that something needs support.

When your gut is nourished, your whole body can thrive.

Common Digestive Symptoms

Bloating and fullness after eating
Reflux, heartburn, or indigestion
Abdominal pain or cramping
Constipation or diarrhoea
Gas, wind, or burping
Sluggish digestion or nausea
Erratic bowel movements
Food reactions, sensitivities, or intolerances
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Diverticulitis or inflammatory bowel conditions
Coeliac Disease
SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth)

You don’t have to live with discomfort, by understanding what’s happening inside your gut, we can begin to restore calm and balance.

Understanding the Digestive System

Your digestive system is an incredibly complex network that includes your stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and microbiome — all working together to break down food, extract nutrients, and eliminate waste. When this system becomes imbalanced, it can lead to both digestive symptoms and wider systemic effects such as inflammation, fatigue, or hormonal disruption.

Your gut is also home to trillions of microorganisms that influence not only digestion but also your immune system, hormones, skin, and nervous system. When this internal ecosystem becomes imbalanced — a state known as dysbiosis — it can lead to inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and knock-on effects throughout the body.

By restoring digestive function, microbial balance, and gut barrier integrity, we can support not only digestive comfort but also:

Balanced energy and mood
Clearer skin
Hormonal harmony
Improved immune resilience
A balanced gut lays the foundation for total body wellbeing.

Working With Claire

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I take time to understand your whole health picture — exploring diet, lifestyle, health history, and any testing results to uncover what’s driving imbalance.

Together, we’ll explore:

Digestive Function – Supporting stomach acid, enzymes, and bile flow for better nutrient absorption.
Microbiome Balance – Restoring beneficial bacteria to calm inflammation and strengthen digestion.
Food Reactions – Identifying sensitivities that may be irritating the gut and disrupting comfort.
Gut Lining Integrity – Supporting the intestinal barrier to reduce inflammation and reactivity.
Stress & the Gut–Brain Axis – Calming nervous system tension to improve motility and ease.

Each plan is personalised, combining nutrition, supplements, and naturopathic therapies to help restore digestive comfort and long-term resilience.
