Eating For Health

24/10/2025

I’m angry.

Because yet again, I’ve had a client who’s been completely failed by the NHS.

For five years, she was told to “lose weight” and was prescribed medication after medication.

She rarely saw a doctor.

She was even referred - at NHS expense (tax payers money!) - to Slimming World and Weight Watchers.

Five years of this approach, and her diabetes only got worse.

Not once was she offered proper diet and lifestyle support.

No one explained blood sugar balance, inflammation, stress, sleep, or nutrient deficiencies.
No one helped her understand why her body was struggling in the first place.

And yet in just three months of working together, through evidence-based nutrition, education, and simple lifestyle changes:

✅ Her HbA1c is back in the normal range - she’s no longer diabetic.
✅ She’s hoping to come off medication at her next review (if she can get an appointment!).
✅ Her energy and confidence are back.

This isn’t a miracle.

It’s what happens when we treat the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.

The NHS spends millions funding commercial weight-loss programmes and medication - yet the solution so often lies in education, food, and lifestyle support.

Feeling tired, bloated, have brain fog or not quite yourself lately?

You’re not alone, and it’s not “just getting older.”

It’s a small-group course designed to help you:

• Boost energy and focus

This is for women who want to understand why their body feels off, and finally do something about it.

Still glowing after the Speak & Shine Summit.
A room full of incredible women, all showing up, cheering each other on, and sharing the stage.

There’s something magical about women supporting women, no competition, just connection, encouragement, and power.

Massive thanks to for creating such a brave and beautiful space.
Thank you to the best visibility expert I know

If you’re even thinking about stepping up to be seen, heard, or more confident in your voice… this is the place to start.

In my favourite spot in the garden, with my dogs (I’m not allowed favourites!), sipping my favourite tea (organic rooibos), in my favourite cup, gifted by one of the loveliest people I know, .

It’s the little things that make a moment feel just right.

Hi, I’m Kathleen Cornmell, and I help clients feel like themselves again.

Tired of being told “your bloods are normal” when you know something isn’t right? That used to be me too.

After years of fatigue, pain, and being dismissed, I discovered the power of nutrition and lifestyle medicine, and never looked back.

Today, I’m a Registered Nutritionist (mBANT, CNHC) with a background in engineering, specialising in:

* Menopause and hormone balance
* Type 2 diabetes, blood sugar, and weight loss
* Gut health and low energy

My approach is simple but powerful:

* Test, don’t guess
* Focus on the root cause
* Support every step of the way

I work 1:1 online and in clinic, and run group programmes for women on HRT who still feel flat, bloated, or stuck.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
Let’s get you back to feeling fabulous again.

Save this post so you can come back later, or DM me the word RESET and I’ll send you my free guide: 5 Everyday Foods That Help Beat Fatigue & Balance Blood Sugar.

29 years married this week. ❤️

We had no idea what life would bring, just a shared belief we’d figure it out together.

Since then, we’ve built a family, raised three amazing kids, moved house moved too many times, been through tough times, and made so many amazing memories, from holidays and home educating to festivals and dog walks.

Marriage isn’t perfect. It’s messy, funny, frustrating, and full of growth. But when you’re with someone who trusts your crazy ideas, even when they involve changing careers, starting new businesses, or dragging everyone across the country with the kids and dogs, that’s something special.

Still laughing. Still learning. Still saying yes (mostly! 😂).

Happy 29th anniversary Andy.

Thanks for being my biggest supporter, best friend, and partner in all this beautiful chaos.

Test, don’t guess.

So many women come to me saying, “I feel awful, but my GP says everything is fine…”

The truth? Most standard blood tests don’t go deep enough. That’s why I recommend a full “MOT”-style blood test, the same one I do for myself every year.

It gives a clear picture of:

* Energy and fatigue markers
* Hormones
* Metabolic health and blood sugar balance
* Inflammation levels
* Key vitamins and nutrient status

This is often the missing piece that helps us understand what’s really going on, and what to do next.

If you’d like more info or the discount link, just comment TEST below or message me directly and I’ll send it over.
