Are Food Intolerances Controlling Your Life?

Are you no longer able to indulge in a festive meal with family or friends without suffering the consequences? Is this impacting on your ability to enjoy food or on your family menu planning? Is this adding extra work for you because you need to cater for yourself separately, whilst your partner and children eat ‘normal’ food? Are your intolerances spoiling it all?

Once you hit your 40s, the constant juggling of a demanding career, family, kids and your social life is taking its toll. All those health niggles you used to take in your stride now seem that little bit trickier to handle. Digestive issues increase, energy levels plummet, hormones wobble and the weight seems to creep on. I have been there too!

Well, it needn’t be that way any longer. I specialise in food intolerance (and other digestive health) tests to help you establish the foods that don’t work for you, get you down or keep you awake at night. After assessing the integrity of your digestive tract, I guide you to repair the damage and finally to reintroduce those foods once you’re ready to.

My clinics are designed to listen to you and guide you along the easiest path to return to the healthy and energetic best version of yourself. The one you’ve maybe forgotten about, but which is there ready to resurge again in full beauty.

As a result, you will sleep better nights, learn to hydrate properly, optimise your digestion and find again the energy and vitality you used to have in your 20s.

I initially went to see Rossella to have a blood test for food allergies.  This was very helpful indeed.  She also spotted my low thyroid functioning and low energy and recommended supplements to get things moving again.  Overall I have been impressed by the level of care and time Rossella gave outwith the appointments to provide information and recipes to help me find the foods I can eat.  I felt that she really wanted to help me resolve some the the issues and I saw her passion for her work as a nutritionalist.  My digestive system is greatly improved and I’m feeling much better.  Thank you.

My consultation with Rossella initially dealt with potential food intolerances but through working together and with the benefit of her excellent advice and recommendations other wider issues were explored and dealt with. Rossella has been and continues to be a great help.

I’ve had digestive problems for many years and had accepted it would be like this for the  rest of my life. I came across Rossella and thought I’d give it one last try to see if someone could finally help. Rossella is extremely knowledgable, patient and helpful and provided tailored help to guide me back to digestive health. I feel like a different person after only a few sessions and I’m so glad that I decided to give it another try.

I am a late 50s woman and I suffer from chronic indigestion, ibs, arthritis, high cholesterol and am menopausal. I went to see Rossella after my doctor diagnosed panic attacks and suggested breathing exercises for tingling sensations around my mouth. A food intolerance test revealed that I had 90%+ intolerances to all dairy.  As soon as I cut these out of my diet I immediately felt better. Through Rossella's Nutritional Therapy thorough advice, brain fog lifted, chest pain from indigestion improved dramatically and my ibs has cleared up completely. I no longer take medication for my indigestion and am feeling a lot better.  My arthritic pain has also improved and we are now working on diets for my cholesterol and menopausal symptoms. I wish I had gone to see her sooner. Thank you.

Rossella is friendly and made me feel at ease, but she is also very professional.
She understood straight away which was my issue and she helped me solve it just changing my diet and using natural remedies.
In addition some ad-hoc supplements, she also helped me improve my skin, which was something I didn't expect as I had tried so many creams in the past which never worked. I am very satisfied with the results.

I contacted Rossella at the age of 47, I was feeling more tired than usual, lethargic with a lack of motivation .
I’m very active person and this lethargy made me quite upset. I decided to approach it from a diet perspective in order to see if I could improve the energy one gets from food. I’m vegetarian and eat a lot of raw food and not into process food.
I decided to buy a full 16-week plan as I knew I had to work quite a lot on my diet .
It was not difficult to follow Rossella's plan, although it required more time spent in the kitchen and in the shop buying all the ingredients. I was very committed and I think that is an important requirement for the success of the plan: if you are not prepare to give up things in order to achieve your targets, you won't go far.
At the end of the progra, my energy levels were back to 10 years before , exercising 5 times a week, including hiking once a week, and my motivation was back to normal and I lost 1.5 stones. I’m feeling much better and still following the advice Rossella gave me during our 16 weeks together. The path is not difficult, but requires commitment. If you're ready to commit then Rossella will help you to achieve your targets.

Interview with Rossella Health

Interview with Rossella Health, Nutritional Therapist

Recently I was sent the following questions and my answers and reflections were supposed to be published on a health magazine, just for the general public so that potential clients could follow some of my advice to lead a healthy life and eat well. I publish them here on my website, highlighting that these are only general pieces of advice and that each person has a completely different way of metabolising, absorbing and making use of food and nutrients.

  • What does “healthy eating” really mean in 2026, and has the definition changed over the years?

Healthy eating is a general label that can be understood by people in personal ways. A lot of clients come to me and one of the statements that I hear early on during consultations is the following: ‘I believe that I eat a healthy diet and that the food I buy and take is good for me.’ But as the consultation proceeds, there are a lot of so called ‘unhealthy habits’ that emerge, in particular foods that clients think are ‘healthy’ are not serving them very well. One of the areas that I always recommend we explore is that of intolerances.

In 2026, compared to even 7 years ago (pre-covid), food intolerances have surged and people are not aware of them and of the hidden damage that this causes our digestive tract over the years with symptoms that go from acidic reflux, bloating, headaches, skin issues. Just name them. Without mentioning active allergies that can emerge fast and unexpected.

So yes, the concept of healthy eating is very different in 2026. Not massively different from 2025, but quite starkly different from the early 2000’s and even the 2010’s. And this is closely related to the much more stressful life we lead, the changing environment, the abuse of screen time, the lack of real exercise (I am not talking about exercise in the gym, but real time in nature away from screens, sedentary jobs, and processed foods). People have even now machines that cook for them, that follow them step by step in how to complete a recipe. Technology advances are not necessarily in line with digestive health and our evolving (or receding?) immune system.

  • What are three simple, practical nutrition habits anyone can start today to improve their overall health?
  1. Drink enough water during the day. It has to be still possibly filtered natural water. Enough means an average of 2 litres per day sipped throughout the day;
  2. Do anything you can to improve your sleep, especially concentrate on being asleep between 12 midnight and 4am (the most important lapse of night time when your cells and immune system do the majority of their work to keep you healthy;
  3. Eat natural foods (well suited to your digestive system) cooked in traditional ways.
  • There’s so much conflicting information online—how can people tell the difference between evidence-based nutrition advice and trends or fads?

My advice is always to refer to a Nutritional Therapist, a professional who is trained to accompany you to your best suited diet, to help you achieve your health goals (lose weight in a safe and sustainable manner; help you rebalance your digestive system; assess your needs according to your unique body make-up by testing food intolerances, DNA health, oxidative stress, etc.).

Put yourself in safe hands and make sure that the professional that you entrust your health to, is fully qualified and has good experience of the field. Trust me, it is a good investment of your time and money and it is re-educational too.

  • For busy professionals, what does a balanced day of eating realistically look like?

For busy professionals I always recommend that they use one day per week to cook for the full week and freeze their lunches in batches. This ensures less visits to the local supermarket or cafe for lunch and unhealthy choices.

Have a good balanced breakfast. No snacks until you have your good and healthy home-made lunch. Then eat dinner with your family around 7pm at latest, to allow for digestion before you go to bed.

Try and be in best by 11pm at the very latest to allow your body to fully unstressed, fall asleep and wake up re-invigorated.

Reinvent Menopause with Nutritional Therapy and Feel Amazing

GRACEFUL MENOPAUSE

Reinvent Menopause with Nutritional Therapy and Feel Amazing

The bad myth of Menopause must be turned on its head. Menopause is possibly the most empowering time of a woman’s life and opens a new chapter of adaptation, resilience, and opportunity.

Once we have navigated the period of Peri-menopause which can be a tough time for some of us (my peri-menopause lasted 7 years and it was tough) we really can look forward to a new re-balance of our hormonal health that brings with it, in my view and experience, the real best time of a woman’s life.

So guess what – the trick is really that of accepting that there will be some changes and with self care and practical  nutritional and lifestyle interventions even Peri-menopause loses its fearful shadow. Shine the light of nutritional therapy on your mid-life changes and look ahead to getting to your your body and yourself under a new sunshine!

Come and work with me on your symptoms (mind fog, bloating, food intolerances, joint pains, sugar crashes, etc.) and we will be looking together at which are the pressures, stressors, and environmental influences that may be altering your sense of who you are during your mid-life changes.

I will accompany you through your new lifestyle and nutritional decisions to support long-term health and confidence – guiding you towards a thriving life beyond the pause.

Irresistible n. 1 Chicory Latte

Why not recharging your midmorning with an anti-inflammatory drink full of tasty ingredients,

which will help you stay on top of your energy without you getting bloated?
Enjoy this recipe for an anti-inflammatory latte! No caffeine, no dairy,
great taste, detoxing and environment friendly. Easy to make and shake.
Often we do not know that some of the most staple ingredients are not our friends. We have eaten or drunk them for so many years with no adverse effects, and then suddenly one morning a simple Latte bloats us and we have no clue what it was: was it the caffeine? was it the milk? was it the sugar? Or the caramel syrup we like so much? 
Our immune defence system simply can no longer tolerate some ingredients because we have saturated our system with them.
This chicory latte contains anti-inflammatory ingredients and it just tastes delicious. Try for yourself and see the results.
You can buy the agave syrup (preferably wholemeal – i.e. dark) and the vegetable milk in any supermarket (oats, almond, rice, coconut, according to the foods your digestive system can tolerate). Buy the chicory coffee in any good Healthy Food shop.
Buy a good hot drink shaker (Knoops sell a really good one with an expanding lid). And you’re ready to go!
Chicory Latte
Ingredients (serves 2):  
400 ml oats, almond or wholemeal rice milk
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of ground clove
1 teaspoon chicory soluble coffee
maple syrup or agave syrup to sweeten (optional)
Method:
– Warm up the milk in a small pan and take it off the fire before boiling point.
– Wisk the milk in a jug until frothy.
– add the spices and the coffee and whisk more.
– sweeten the latte with a small amount of maple or agave syrup (coconut milk and rice milk are already naturally sweet).
You can sprinkle the top of the milk with ground cinnamon or cloves, or bitter cocoa, to taste.
Enjoy!
