Your Vegan Nutritionist Nutrition and lifestyle advice to support those following plant based diets, digestive health and women in peri & menopause.

If you don’t understand plant based nutrition, or you are biased against it, it’s best you don’t comment on it. Especially as a health professional.

The key to a healthy balanced plant based diet, or any diet really, is a mix of protein, healthy whole grains and lots of colourful vegetables and fruits.

As I have aged, and now as a 50 yr old, I include more tofu, tempeh and seitan in my diet.

While I still eat lots of legumes, they are super healthy and full of fibre and micronutrients, I use far more tofu and tempeh.

This has really served me well going through peri and menopause and more importantly, it’s delicious and satiating.

Appetite can decrease as you age, so including these protein dense foods can be really helpful in helping you hit your macros without becoming obsessive or using protein powders. Nothing against, protein powders, I recommend them often, but I just like eating my macros as opposed to drinking them.

But do watch out for that sneaky milk in a chip.

Iron deficiency can be sneaky and cause all sorts of havoc in the body. One unusual sign is pica — cravings for non-food items like ice, dirt, or chalk.
In children, low iron doesn’t always look like what you’d expect. It can show up as poor moods, depression, anger, difficulty concentrating, or not wanting to wake up in the morning. Sometimes it can even look like ADHD. I’ve heard of cases where kids were treated for ADHD, only to later discover their iron levels were actually low.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide, and it can happen for many reasons: poor intake, poor absorption, or excessive losses — especially through menstruation in women.
The good news? It’s relatively easy to check. A simple blood test can help identify it. And while ferritin is important, it’s also a good idea to check active B12 at the same time for a more complete picture.
If something feels off, it’s worth investigating.

Let’s clear something up.

My business name is Your Vegan Nutritionist
I’m not hiding my target market.
�I’m not trying to trick anyone into eating more plants.

I work with people who choose a vegan or plant-based diet, or those who want to increase their plant based protien and want to make sure they’re covering their nutritional bases.

So when anti-vegan comments show up here, I’m always a little confused.

If you’re not interested in eating more plants, this page probably isn’t for you.

But if you want to:�• increase your plant-based protein�• eat in a way that reduces animal suffering�• feel confident your vegan diet is actually supporting your health
…then you’re exactly who I created this page for.

If the only solution someone gives you when you’re unwell is “Just eat meat” …

That’s not medicine.�That’s ignorance.

Way too many vegans avoid seeking help because they’re bracing for judgement instead of support.
And meanwhile?
�They stay bloated.�Exhausted.�Low in iron.�Foggy.�Flat.

Not because veganism is the problem.�But because no one has actually investigated properly.

You deserve evidence-based answers.�You deserve proper pathology.�You deserve gut testing.�You deserve personalised guidance.

Not opinions. Not eye rolls. Not outdated myths.

Being vegan isn’t reckless.�Guessing with your health is.

If you’re not feeling right, the answer isn’t abandoning your values.�It’s getting the right data and the right strategy.
And yes — that exists.

Are you looking for a nutritionist who truly respects and values your vegan or plant-based lifestyle?

What I’ve seen time and time again is this:
Veganism isn’t the problem.
The real issue is the lack of structured, tailored care designed specifically for plant-based eaters — and the fact that so many are dismissed or told to “just eat meat” to solve their health concerns.

You deserve better than that.
You deserve evidence-based guidance that aligns with your values.
You deserve proper testing, personalised support, and someone who understands the realities of living vegan in a non-vegan world.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to support you.

….the connections and friendships I have made with our health practitioners.

I truely feel blessed to connect with others who are just as passionate about helping their clients achieve optimal health.

Connection is so important for mental health, and I adore the friends I have made through my business mentoring group .

Should I have educated them? 🤔

Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world — but the real question isn’t “Do you need more iron?”

It’s “WHY are your levels low in the first place?”

Iron deficiency can be caused by:
• Poor intake (not eating enough iron-rich foods)
• Poor absorption (gut issues, low stomach acid, inflammation)
• Excess losses (heavy periods, endurance training, gut bleeding)

If you don’t understand what’s driving it, you’re only treating the symptom — not the cause.

I often see clients who’ve been told they “just need an iron infusion.”
And while an infusion can temporarily bump up your numbers, it won’t fix the underlying problem. Low iron often comes back again.

What many people don’t realise is:
• B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia
• Serum B12 alone is not a reliable indicator
• Correct B12 testing is essential if you want answers

This is why a personalised, functional testing approach is so important.
Testing gives clarity.
Clarity gives direction.
And direction leads to real improvement, not temporary fixes.

If your iron has been low for years, or your symptoms don’t match your blood work, it’s time to dig deeper.

Vitamin B12 is one nutrient you don’t want to overlook.
Low B12 can affect anyone — plant-based eaters and omnivores — but risk increases after age 50 because absorption naturally declines.
B12 deficiency can lead to:
• Depression + low mood
• Brain fog + poor memory
• Nerve issues (pins & needles in hands/feet)
• Digestive problems
• And in severe cases, irreversible nerve damage
One major issue? It’s often misdiagnosed.
Standard serum B12 tests can be unreliable. If you’re plant-based (or have symptoms), you need to test your active B12 (holo-TC), and often you need to specifically request this.
