About
Hello! I am Roveena and I’m a qualified nutritionist & a PSA-accredited nutritional therapy practitioner and a registered member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), with a special interest in Rheumatoid Arthritis. However, I also focus on gut and joint health, and support a range of chronic health conditions to optimise health and well-being.
My introduction into the world of nutritional therapy began in 2014, a few years after I was diagnosed with a chronic health condition. Several months after waiting for a referral, I was finally seen by a healthcare specialist and supplied with medications, which I was told would essentially be my situation for life. That was difficult for me to accept, and I was determined to change that around.
I began researching the association with wholefoods and health but the information I was finding was often complex, confusing, and many times contradictory. It was my background in biomedical science that led me on a path to explore, study and complete my MSc in the field of evidence-based nutrition, so that I could further understand and appreciate the profound and transformational effects nutrition can have, to support optimal health. This then ultimately led to driving my own health condition into remission.
The essence of nutritional therapy is not simply about drinking green juices and eating superfoods but instead getting to the underlying root cause of your health issues instead of focusing on the symptoms only. I work on addressing and incorporating nutrition, functional diagnostic and nutrigenomic testing, supplementation, and implementing realistic and practical day- to-day lifestyle interventions, using an integrative and personalised approach.
With this insight and knowledge, I am passionate about holistically supporting, empowering and educating my clients, to transform their health and well-being, and ultimately, to improve their quality of life.
I currently support in the following areas:
- Autoimmunity
- Digestion & Gut Health
- Healthy Aging
- Healthy Eating
- Musculoskeletal & Joint Health
- Nutrigenomics (genetics)
- Pain Management
- Stress Management & Fatigue
- Vegetarian and Vegan (Whole-Foods Plant-Based) Nutrition
