Eli Sarre Wildfare Nutrition

Eli Sarre Wildfare Nutrition Hi I'm Eli, is the founder and Nutritional Therapist here at Wildfare. Each client has the option of functional testing and will receive a personalised plan.

Helping women optimise fertility + gut health by harnessing the intelligence of science and nature to provide personalised nutrition and lifestyle coaching. 💜
Fertility • Autoimmunity • Microbiome • Neurodivergence • 1:1 + testing + supplement guidance My passion is working closely with clients and producing unique and individualised programmes to assist you on your nutrition journey towards optim

um health. My areas of special interest include;

Fertility and Preconception Care
A Functional Medicine approach to Gastrointestinal Health
Nutritional Therapy for Women’s Health, Hormone Balancing,
Nutrition for autoimmune and immune balance

As an experienced clinical nutritional therapist, I see clients with many symptoms and conditions. The majority of my clients seek me out to provide support in preparation for a pregnancy though I also see those with complex conditions; usually with involvement of the gut, hormone and immune systems. My food philosophy is that our diets should be as close as possible to their natural state. This means eating the food our bodies have naturally evolved to use as fuel, unprocessed. Depending on our unique health needs, different types of foods may be particularly beneficial for us. I have a love of food and cooking and enjoy recommending delicious, nutritious and easy to prepare meals. Eating the right food is a way of nourishing and caring for ourselves in the best possible way. For further information on working with me or booking a consultation please contact us

💜 How Inflammation Starts in the Microbiome
What’s happening in your gut can shape your entire health story - including the amount of inflammation.

💜 “All disease begins in the gut” – Hippocrates
Modern research is proving it (partly) true. Your gut microbiome affects: ✔ Immune regulation ✔ Metabolism ✔ Mood and brain function ✔ Inflammatory responses

💜 A thriving microbiome: 🦠 Synthesises nutrients 🧠 Supports brain health via the gut-brain axis 🛡 Regulates immune function 🔥 Produces anti-inflammatory compounds like butyrate 🌱 Breaks down fibre into SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids)

💜 Gut dysbiosis means: ❌ Loss of beneficial bacteria ❌ Overgrowth of harmful microbes ❌ Weakened gut lining ❌ Increased inflammation and disease risk. Linked to IBD, autoimmunity, fatigue, and more.

💜 WHAT HARMS THE MICROBIOME
🔺 Ultra-processed foods 🔺 Artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose) 🔺 Low fibre, low diversity diets 🔺 Seed oils and excess omega-6 fats 🔺 Emulsifiers (which lower beneficial species like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii)

💜 HOW TO SUPPORT A HEALTHY GUT
✔ Eat fermented foods (yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi) ✔ Focus on whole plant foods (30+ types weekly) ✔ Include polyphenols (berries, green tea, olive oil) ✔ Increase soluble fibre (chickpeas, oats, bananas) ✔ Limit processed and packaged foods

💜 LAB MARKERS OF INFLAMMATION
Stool testing can reveal hidden inflammation through: 🔬 Calprotectin 🔬 Lactoferrin 🔬 Lysozyme 🔬 F***l sIgA These markers guide diagnosis and track progress.

💜 FOOD AS MEDICINE
Certain foods and nutrients calm inflammation and support the gut barrier: 🌿 Turmeric 🍇 Polyphenols 🌰 Omega-3s 🧄 Garlic and onions 🥬 Vegetables and legumes 🫒 Olive oil Focus on diversity, fibre, and fermentation.

💜 Want to know what your microbiome is up to? I offer gut health assessments and support to reduce inflammation at the root. 📩 Message me or visit wildfare.co.uk to learn more.

Declining S***m Health: What You Need to Know 📉 Global s***m counts have been falling for decades. What's more, the male partner or partner providing s***m is often left out of the discussion when it comes to supporting a healthy pregnancy. It doesn't have to be this way.

Study 1: The 1992 Wake-Up Call 🔬 Review of 61 studies (1938–1991) 📉 Average s***m concentration dropped from 113 million/ml to 66 million/ml ⚠️ Linked to increased testicular cancer and male reproductive disorders【1】

Study 2: The 2022 Global Review 🌍 Review of 223 studies across 53 countries 📉 51% drop in s***m concentration (1973–2018) 📉 62% drop in total s***m count ⚡ Decline has accelerated since 2000【2】

Why This Matters 🧬 S***m count is a vital sign of male health 🩺 Low counts linked to:
Hormonal imbalance
Chronic disease
Shorter life expectancy
💡 But here’s the good news...

S***m Regenerate Every 74 Days 💫 This means we have a window to reset fertility. With the right nutrition and lifestyle support, s***m quality has been shown to improve in as little as 3 months. Your body is constantly renewing, it may just need the right tools.

How Nutrition & Lifestyle Help ✅ Antioxidants & anti-inflammatory foods ✅ Omega-3s, zinc, selenium, folate ✅ Gut health & hormone balance ✅ Reducing alcohol, smoking, and plastics ✅ Managing stress & improving sleep
These changes can transform not only s***m health but overall vitality.

What You Can Do Today 🌱 Eat a whole-food, nutrient-dense diet 🏃‍♂️ Move your body regularly 🧘‍♂️ Manage stress mindfully 🌿 Reduce exposure to toxins 🧪 Test & track your health with expert support

Rainbow Slaw with Honey Mustard dressing Recipe

One of my nutrition lecturers referred to beetroot and carrot slaw as 'constipation salad' (!) If that doesn't sound appealing know that this tastes great and will happily accompany an assortment of salads, proteins and toppings. I often advise omitting additional sweetness but in this case it does make it extra good to eat so adding the honey mustard dressing will please the most discerning of tastebuds.

SLAW
1 raw beetroot
2 carrots
200g red cabbage
1 lemon (juice)

DRESSING
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon raw honey
1 tablespoon tahini
4 tablespoons greek yoghurt or vegan alternative
5 tablespoons water (add slowly until you get to double cream consistency)

OPTIONAL
Salt and pepper to taste
3 sprigs of fresh mint and or dill (dried will work fine if you add to the dressing or you can keep the herbs as a topping.)
Pumpkin seeds and sprouted seeds

Serve with a protein - butterbeans, roast chicken - and a green salad.

METHOD
Beetroot will stain everything pink so best to prepare using a food processor with a grater attachment. Otherwise, you can use a regular grater. Using a sharp knife or mandolin, very finely slice the red cabbage.. Once grated and chopped, add the vegetables to a large bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper and combine all together.
For the dressing, mix the ingredients in a jam jar or jug and stir together until smooth. Pour over the slaw and toss together to serve.

Prep time: 25 minutes Serves: 5
Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Feeling very lucky to visit behind the scenes at this beautiful place . They grow with permaculture principles and have planted thousands of native trees, edible hedges, orchards and two acres of vegetables. I loved the native wildflowers, edible ornamentals and the wonderful ducks swimming next to the vegetable garden 🦆🫛🥕

Rhubarb Compote and Granola Recipe
I couldn't resist this lovely field-grown rhubarb from which has a slightly greener tint than the usual pink. It is sour which is part of it's appeal and it does need some sweetness. Partners well with cream or yogurt and granola.

🍽 Rhubarb Compote
✨ 500g rhubarb
✨ 3 tbsp raw honey
✨ Optional additions: Fresh orange or apple juice (just a splash)
✨ 2 thin slices of beetroot – if you wish to add a pink colour to your rhubarb (I didn't do this but it might have photographed better if I did!)
✨ A few slices of fresh ginger or ground cinnamon.

🍽 Cacao granola
✨ Add your choice of almonds, cashews, pecan, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, raw dried coconut and linseeds to a blender. Pulse a couple of times to break up a little. You could also break them up with a rolling pin or whatever you have handy.
✨ You can add oats if you like or puffed oat for texture (if paleo omit the oats)
✨ Cook at 170 degrees for around 18- 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Stir half way to cook evenly.
✨ Add butter or coconut oil to a saucepan,
✨ Sweeten with raw honey and raw cacao if you'd like to, stir in and coat the nut mix. Melt slowly and then stir into your nut and seed mix. leave to cool.
✨ Add ground ginger and / or cinnamon if you like a slighly warming spice.

Serve with your choice of yoghurt. I love the which is fully organic and higher in omega-3 and trace minerals. It's also a A2 beta-casein milk which some individuals tolerate better than A1.

What to Look for in a Supplement 💜

Not all supplements are created equal.
If you're investing in your health, it's worth knowing what to look for:

✨ Quality over quantity: Practitioner-quality supplements are manufactured to higher standards than many high-street brands. They use bioavailable forms (so your body can absorb and utilise the nutrients) and are thouroughly researched, tested, and continually scrutinised by experts.

✨ Minimal fillers and additives: Choose supplements that are free from unnecessary bulking agents, sweeteners, contaminants and allergens.

✨ Therapeutic dosages: Many available supplements don’t contain enough of the active ingredient to make a real difference. Higher quality brands formulate products based on the doses used in clinical research.

✨ Tailored to you: There’s no "one size fits all" in supplementation. Your body, history, health goals, and even your gut health influence what you need — and what you really don't need.

So how do you know what nutrients your body needs? Testing can be an invaluable tool to pinpoint specific deficiencies or imbalances, and professional guidance ensures that your supplements work with your body, not against it.

💜 With targeted, practitioner-quality supplements, you’re not just randomly taking capsules — you’re giving yourself thoughtful, purposeful support.

Working with a nutritionist isn’t the same as 'going on a diet'. Here’s why. 💜

🍽️ There's no fixed meal plan. We will tweak what you are currently doing in a way that feels manageable to you.

🕵🏻 We will get curious about how your eating patterns influence your wellbeing.

💓 We will value compassion and self care over fear or shame.

🧠 There's no 'one size fits all'.

🌍 Instead, we will explore your unique story, mapping out your biology, your symptoms, your experience with food, your lifestyle and your body.

💭 It’s about understanding the deeper 'why' behind symptoms, cravings, and patterns. When we know the 'why' we can develop a strategy to help you achieve your goal —whether it’s optimal gut health, fertility, or hormones. Or something else entirely.

We might look at:
🌿 Inflammation and immune health
🧠 Stress and nervous system regulation
🥬 Nutrient balance and adding in missing foods
🧬 Hormonal and microbiome testing

Everything we do is collaborative.

Rooted in gentle nourishment.

Health support that sees the full story, not just one chapter.

I’m here to help you achieve your goals.

Reach out if you're ready to take the next step.

Why I don’t love the word ‘diet’ 💭

Because it’s rarely just about food.
Because it so often carries a weight of fear, shame, and unrealistic ideals that have little to do with true health.

When I talk about nutrition, I talk about the Wildfare 'way of eating' - a way that’s rooted in nourishment, not numbers. In health, not weight.
It's an approach that honours your biology, your story, and your nervous system - not just what’s on your plate.

‘Diet’ culture often overlooks the deeper layers beneath how we eat:
💔 Fear of weight gain, cycles of restriction and bingeing
🪞 Distorted body image, cultural ‘norms’ and expectations
👀 Judgement from others - real or imagined
🧬 Genetics, hormones, inflammation, neurodivergence
😔 Shame, blame, and inner criticism

At Wildfare, we focus on creating safety around food, rebuilding trust in your body, and supporting fertility and gut health through compassionate, evidence-based care.

Because food should be a source of support, not stress. 💜

✨Client Testimonial:
Gut health, energy and endometriosis.

"My energy and gut health has improved dramatically. I have a clear plan and it’s working. I notice when I am off track. I generally fell better in myself and find life easier to manage.

Eli is patient and understanding and she takes time to research and look at things from all angles instead of rushing ahead.

I felt listened to and have found her suggestions easy to implement. I thoroughly recommend Eli and her approach."

✨I know how overwhelming it can feel when you want to support your body but aren't sure where to start.
✨That's why I created my free EAT WILD: Recipes to Enhance Natural Fertility guide — to make the first step easier.
✨And when you're ready for a deeper dive, my 6 Golden Rules for Fertility & Further guide is there for you too.

🌿 The Endometriosis-Gut Connection: Understanding the Link 🌿

🔗 Research indicates that endometriosis is associated with:

🧩Gut dysbiosis: An imbalance in gut bacteria affecting overall health

🧩Increased intestinal permeability: Often referred to as "leaky gut," which could exacerbate inflammation

🧩Altered estrogen metabolism: The gut microbiome plays a role in regulating estrogen levels, potentially influencing endometriosis symptoms

💡 Supporting Your Gut Health:

🥦Consume fiber-rich foods: These aid in the natural elimination of estrogen metabolites

🥦Incorporate probiotics and fermented foods: These may support a healthy balance of gut bacteria

🥦Include omega-3 fatty acids: Found in foods like salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts (to help mediate inflammation)

🔎 Endometriosis Awareness Month: You Deserve to Be Heard 🔎

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet it often takes years to receive a proper diagnosis. This chronic condition involves tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus, potentially leading to pain, inflammation, and fertility challenges.

💜 Common Symptoms:

Severe menstrual cramps that don't respond to pain medications
Pain during or after sexual in*******se
Chronic fatigue and low energy
Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
Difficulty conceiving

⚠️ Endometriosis is frequently misdiagnosed as other conditions like IBS or dismissed as "normal" menstrual pain. If this resonates with you, know that your experiences are valid, and you deserve comprehensive care.

💬 If you're living with endometriosis or seeking answers, join my private EAT WILD facebook group where you can share your story without judgement. You don't have to go it alone; Wildfare offers real, science-backed support and care.
