Gut Reaction - specialising in disordered eating Hello there, I'm Sarah, welcome to Gut Reaction’s page. What would your life be like if you felt less stress and more ease around food?

Private online nutrition clinic ~ supporting you to move beyond disordered eating and digestive imbalances, reclaim your vitality, and find peace with food and your body ~ bio.site/gutreaction A Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Behaviour Change Practitioner, I have more than twelve years’ experience helping people make lasting changes to how they relate to food, what they choose to eat, and how they care for their bodies. I believe that societal influences have overcomplicated the relationships people have with food and their bodies, and am passionate about simplifying nutritional science, helping people heal the mind-body connection, and find peace with food. My transformative approach to nutrition and eating behaviour change aims to reconnect my clients with supportive habits in intuitive, evidence-based and sustainable ways that value their physical and emotional wellbeing, energy and esteem - free of diet culture, restrictive food rules and nutrition overwhelm. The approach draws on various modalities including Nutritional Therapy, an evidence-based approach to eating for self-care called Intuitive Eating Counselling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Holistic Health Coaching, and Body Image Healing. As well as offering one-to-one personalised support, I host group events and retreats. Thank you for following, I hope my content helps inspire your path to living a healthier life in harmony with food and your body. Sarah Grant ~ Gut Reaction

When we go long stretches without food, the body doesn’t know if we’re busy, stressed or intentionally restricting. It only knows it isn’t being fed -and it responds as if under threat.

Eating regularly helps calm the nervous system and rebuilds trust between you and your body.

If you’ve spent years disconnecting from your hunger cues or equating eating less with being ‘good’, it can feel uncomfortable to feed yourself regularly.

But your body can’t relax or heal if it doesn’t feel safe - and regular nourishment is how that safety begins.

If you’ve ever spent weeks or months tracking every mouthful and anxiously watching numbers add up, you’re not alone.

In this blog, I explain the how and why calorie counting is deeply problematic, and I share some steps you can take to move away from the numbers and back towards trust in your body.

✨ Professional update ✨

✅ BANT, the leading professional body for Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners, recently set-out new standards for working with eating disorders - which I’m proud to announce I have met.

✅ Having recently completed Nutritional Therapy for Eating Disorders: Advanced Practitioner Programme, I’m now officially recognised as one of sixteen practitioners* in the UK able to support individuals with confirmed or suspected eating disorders.

✅ Importantly, I’m able to work collaboratively with other health professionals such as GPs and mental health practitioners, as needed.

With rising rates of eating disorders and complex disordered eating, it’s more important than ever that clients receive the right kind of support that is both safe and ethical. Not every nutrition practitioner is qualified to offer this.

If you or someone close to you is struggling with food, eating or body image, I offer a compassionate, evidence-informed approach focused on restoring nutritional balance, rebuilding trust around food and supporting behaviour change.

📩 Feel free to get in touch to find out more or explore whether my approach is right for you.

When you picture a “healthy relationship with food,” do you imagine…

🥗 'clean eating'?
🍎 always making the “right” choices?
💪 being slim and disciplined?

It’s easy to picture it that way - but these ideas often bring more pressure than they do peace.

In my latest blog, I explore what a genuinely healthy relationship with food looks like (and what it doesn’t) - from trust and flexibility, to freedom from guilt.

When food feels out of control, it can be tempting to tighten the rules even more. But here’s the paradox: the stricter the rules we attach to food, the stronger food’s pull becomes.

Research shows that dieting is one of the strongest predictors of eating disorders. Despite being sold as a path to better health, dieting often leads to years of restriction and the constant pursuit of control around food - resulting in guilt, preoccupation, and a deep disconnect from your body’s natural wisdom.

Ready to break free from that cycle?

There’s a kinder, evidence-informed way to make peace with food and your body, and reclaim your wellbeing.

Giving yourself permission to eat what you want isn’t about having no boundaries or abandoning care for your body. It’s part of a gradual process of rebuilding trust, step by step, until food takes its rightful place in your life: important, but not in charge.
