Following a diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer, I was keen to take some control of my situation by looking more closely at my lifestyle. This included an overhaul of my dietary and nutritional needs. I met with Amanda, initially to review how I could make sustainable changes that would help me with my recovery from chemotherapy by re-building my immune system and getting my strength back. As part of the process, I did choose to pay for additional tests. I was sceptical at first, given the additional costs, however these have proved extremely useful and have actually informed some decision making, in regards to my treatment. I am so grateful for Amanda's input and expertise. The changes she has encouraged me to make have allowed me to feel empowered and whilst my treatment remains on going for the foreseeable, I feel that I am doing everything I can to improve my situation. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone in my situation who feels helpless by a diagnosis such as mine, and who feels the need to contribute to their wellbeing.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a battery of tests with my GP to discover the cause of some issues I was experiencing and receiving no conclusion or practical help, I decided look elsewhere for assistance and support. Amanda has been a great source of information and guidance and has offered me excellent advice in order to alleviate and manage the symptoms I have been experiencing. Her nutritional guidance has helped me to make necessary changes to my diet in order to achieve this. It has been a very simple process to make appointments via her website and you are offered a choice of in person or online consultations. Thank you Amanda.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amanda’s advice and guidance has literally transformed my health. I have a chronic back condition which I have been unable to get under control with conventional medicine for over 7 years. Since working with Amanda I now have very few flare ups and my energy levels are radically improved. As a mum of two young children this has been life changing. I highly recommend Amanda, she is hugely knowledgable and will guide you through the approach that’s best for you. I have a lot to thank her for.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffer from Osteoporosis and IBS, the latter I have suffered from for nearly 40yrs. I was recommended by a friend to contact Amanda and I am so pleased I took the recommendation forward. It has only been a few months since contacting Amanda but the advise and recommendations she has given me has proved to be extremely beneficial regarding my IBS in such a small space of time. The Osteoporosis will take time before I can see any beneficial results as I will have to undergo my usual bi-annual testing. The goals and support Amanda has given me have been clear and precise which has enabled me to focus on what I need to do and achieve my goals successfully. Amanda advised my to go to my Doctors to request full blood tests which my Doctor was fully supportive about and the results allowed me again to focus on what was important for me. Amanda also passed on recipes and types of food which have proved again to be very beneficial. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who is wanting to improve their eating habits, overall wellbeing and to enjoy life.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I would recomend Amanda to everyone who needs to change.
At last I have lost weight – but have gained a whole new mindset about food…
Hazel Carter-Showell
struggled with weight loss for years and have never quite managed to make it stick. Using Amanda’s ‘Free the Fat’, I have lost almost two stone, whilst still enjoying my food. But what has really changed is not just my shape, but my mindset. I understand exactly how to lose weight and feel supported while I do it – despite having complex health issues – and I have the right attitude to eating healthily now too. I can resist puddings, freshly baked bread and pasta – I simply didn’t think ‘no’ was in my vocabulary before. I can’t say it better than – this works!
Our diet is better, we have more energy, we eat much less sugar…
Susan
Following my session with Amanda, I’ve made quite a few changes to my and my families diet and we’re all enjoying new foods, in particular more pulses! I’ve noticed that my energy levels are better and the best news is the cravings for sugar are gone! So thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’d recommend a session with Amanda to anyone wanting to feel the benefits of a improved diet.
The pain is so much better and I need much fewer tablets…
Rachel Brooks
I have been following Amanda’s advice on supplements and nutrition for 3 months to eliminate the effects of osteoarthritis. I have reduced my dose of anti inflammatory tablets by 50%. I have also considerably increased my activity levels . Plus I have more energy, less pain and therefore feel healthier. The facts speak for themselves.
Huge thanks for making my autistic son so much happier…
Hilary Jeffries
I started working with Amanda for my 10 year old autistic son about 6 months ago. He was very underweight for his age as he had little interest in food. He also displayed severe challenging behaviour frequently. He also seemed to be ill every 6 weeks with a cold …meaning a week off school every half term !
The changes I have seen are quite amazing ! He is positively thriving now ! He has put on weight and is more robust. His immune system has had a tremendous boost, and he has not been ill for months. Also his challenging behaviour has decreased immensely, as he seems overall such a happier child ! Huge thanks Amanda …life is good now !!
I can’t thank Amanda enough for transforming my life…
Sally McHugh
I went to see Amanda as I was in great pain with 2 spinal fractures due to osteoporosis. I also had longstanding constipation and suffered from repeated urine infections. I didn’t think anyone could help me, but bless her, Amanda did ! She has transformed my life. I can now enjoy walking again without pain, no bowel problems and a much healthier bladder. All due to a healthier diet and appropriate supplements. Truthfully I cannot thank Amanda enough, God bless her.
My skin has returned to normal, thanks to Amanda…
Patricia Brittain
Having struggled with skin issues for a number of years, Amanda helped me resolve these with testing and complementary treatment. I now take enzymes daily which have resolved my gut problems and restored my skin to normality. This has been such a relief to me. Amanda is very knowledgeable and professional in her approach and I enjoy working with her; highly recommended!!
My fatigue, joint pain and gut problems have all gone…
Janet Bedell
I suffered from fatigue, joint pain, gut problems and generally never felt really well. In 3 months since seeing Amanda, my life has really changed. I now go to the gym regularly and even have a personal trainer. The fatigue has disappeared and my energy levels are better than they have been for some time. My diet has improved and I no longer crave sugary foods. My joint pain has virtually gone and I have lost some weight. I think that’s not bad for a 58 year old. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Amanda to see how she can change your life.
My skin and energy have improved so much…
Steffy Cooke
Amanda made me see that I do have some control on my Dermatamotosies, which effects my skin and energy levels. Following a carefully planned diet and working out what foods were good for me, my skin and energy improved amazingly. I was also able to reduce the number of steroids I had been on. Thank you so much.
Amanda uses tremendous knowledge and experience…
Jenny Brady
One of the great things about Amanda is her holistic approach. She asks a lot of important questions before giving her advice. Her in-depth knowledge and experience of different aspects of medicine mean she really knows what she is talking about. With her help I have been able to dramatically reduce my digestive problems. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I have much more energy now…
JR
Amanda has helped me get my body back on track after suffering for months with cystitis and a bad stomach. Within weeks I felt I had more energy and my cystitis has calmed down. I would recommend Amanda to anyone, she has improved my life significantly.
I effortlessley lost 10lb in weight and feel vibrant and healthy
Vicky G
“I came to Amanda with a medical problem about which I knew very little (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), I’d googled but still felt I needed extra information and guidance about my issue. Amanda provided both of these things in abundance along with additional resources, recipes and support. I would highly recommend anyone with difficulties take advantage of her wealth of information and experience, I did and my husband became her client too”.
I feel the best I’ve ever been (undergoing treatment for prostate cancer)
William Meredith
I have been consulting Amanda for 5 months or so now. I am being treated by the NHS for cancer (radiotherapy) and wanted to give myself the best chances for survival (!!) so needed GOOD input on supplements and especially nutrition which the NHS do not seem cover at all. I have found Amanda clear thinking and took me thro’ a series of stages that addressed issues like digestion/ quality of immune system/ quality of nutrient intake and a specific low carbohydrate+high fat diet (LCHF: cancer cells love glucose) that initially seemed challenging but now seems second nature – and a whole world out there agrees with the appropriateness of this LCHF diet. If you are introduced to this diet, stick with it! I now feel that I am doing all I can to survive (sorry to be so dramatic!) and ironically I have rarely felt healthier than I do now. Long may it continue. I can heartily recommend Amanda”
Amanda has been brilliant, she has listened and given me constructive advice
Hannah Brown
I have been suffering from migraines that disrupt my work and life regularly. Amanda has been brilliant, she has listened and given me constructive advice. Since following her suggestions, the frequency and severity of my migraine attacks have fallen and I feel more confident. A highly recommended service!
I can’t recommend the Eat Yourself Well plan highly enough
Jeanette Dobson
Six months ago I was really unwell with a high level of inflammation in my bowels. I took the test at the end of May and the inflammation had completely gone! I also have suffered badly with reflux and that has also been substantially reduced . I can’t recommend the Eat Yourself Well plan highly enough and I have also already recommended Amanda Ellwood’s services to others.I still need to complete the prescribed course but I am very confident of the outcome.
Amanda has helped get my life back on track!
Will Jones
I was treated for a spinal infection with 3 months of intravenous antibiotics, 2 years ago, to wipe out a viral infection that could have been fatal. The antibiotics had done a great job in bringing me back around to good health, but unknowingly they had also left behind a further issues. The course of antibiotics had taken its toll and imbalanced by body’s hormones and gut biome leaving me changed psychologically and also in discomfort.
I came to Amanda as I have always believed that the best way to to heal the body is through natural courses and not through prescription medication!
Amanda evaluated my situation using a specialty GI Effect test to find the route of my problems and in doing so discovered the imbalance in my gut. I was set up on a natural supplement course that has completely turned my discomfort and mood around, steadily returning me to the person I was before whilst further educating me in look after my body. I know that I will always be able to look to Amanda for advice should I ever need it and I highly recommend for people to do the same. Amanda has helped get my life back on track!
Her advice has been invaluable
Andrea Haywood
I went to Amanda to understand from a professional what healthy eating really looked like. Her advice has been invaluable. It has made me feel so much better and helped me make good choices for my family and me. Her recipes in particular have been a huge hit with the whole family!
My severe symptoms have all but gone
Heather Renshaw
After suffering with severe Ulcerative Colitis for several years, I sought help from Amanda for an alternative approach to wellness, to work alongside my usual medication. Within several months, my severe symptoms have all but gone. This has taken hard work from both myself, and Amanda but I can’t thank her enough for helping me. We continue to work together on diet and supplements to ensure my journey to full remission is realised. I would recommend her wealth of knowledge, friendly, honest and realistic approach to anyone (and in fact I do often!).
Amanda’s help and advice contributed to me being healthy again
Lauren Luttrell-Henshaw
I went to Amanda for help after I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease which was out of the blue and came as a shock. After spending a week in hospital and being put on strong medications I knew I needed advice on how to manage my condition. Doctors and consultants provided me with no advise on nutrition which I found strange due to the nature of the disease. Amanda really helped me with a supplement plan, conducted tests which the hospital did not look into and advised me on how to eat to manage my condition. A year on and I am now in remission. I still take medication but this has reduced and I am living my life normally. I do think Amanda’s help and advice contributed to me being healthy again and I continue to implement this into my diet. Thanks Amanda x –
Amanda really helped me understand the value of nutrition
Ben Carter
Amanda really helped me understand the value of nutrition. All the information was broken down into bite size pieces so I could digest all that she was saying (no pun intended). Not only was the consultations full of informative advice, I was given lots of samples/fact sheets and recipes and also introduced to many foods I wouldn’t normally try. I went to Amanda with IBS issues and by the time our sessions were over I began to feel loads better. I would highly recommend Amanda for all things nutrition and Wellness.
Highly recommended, highly knowledgeable and a lovely person to boot!
Having struggled with repeated chest infections and poor immunity, I was desperate to break the cycle. Amanda has changed the way I think about food and has given me a toolkit to stay well. Now my immunity is much improved – I have stayed well for 6 months now – and I also have more energy, and as a side effect my IBS has improved.
I didn’t need to completely change my diet, just amended some aspects. I now have a number of delicious recipes to add to my repertoire.
Highly recommended, highly knowledgeable and a lovely person to boot!
I’ve lost a stone and a half…
Libby Brookes
Going to see Amanda has turned out to be a great decision, and I would highly recommend her service to anyone. I wanted to make better choices about my diet to improve my health and energy levels. Amanda has advised me on changes to my diet and vitamin supplements, and I now have so much more energy. I’ve lost a stone and a half as well, so really happy.
