Walnuts really do look like tiny brains—and fittingly, their nutrients help support brain health.
Pretty amazing how the body works, right? 🧠

✨ Client Success Story | Real Results
in Just 3 Months ✨

Another incredible follow-up from a client I first saw 3 months ago after 2 years of life-debilitating symptoms and little to no improvement from GP support alone.

The transformation has been amazing 👇

✔️ Hair loss has reversed – now experiencing healthy hair growth and receiving compliments
✔️ Brain fog completely gone
✔️ Energy levels restored – back training in the gym and hitting new personal bests
✔️ Watery eyes and post-nasal drip resolved
✔️ Significant improvements in bloating and gut health
✔️ Feeling happier, healthier, and confident again

Seeing clients regain their health, vitality, and quality of life never gets old 💛

I can’t wait to see where this client is in another 3 months!

This is exactly why I love what I do 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hi, I’m Rachael Knight from The Better Living Clinic 👋

I’m a registered Nutritional Therapist, graduating with distinction from the award-winning College of Naturopathic Medicine.

Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic… weight-loss injections are everywhere right now, and while they can be helpful for weight management, it’s really important to look at the bigger picture when it comes to your health.

These medications often suppress appetite and change eating habits, which means some people may not be getting enough key vitamins and minerals over time.

I explain which nutrients can commonly be affected and how to nourish your body properly while using these injections.

If you’d like support, I’m here to offer free, confidential guidance via a 20 min consultation.

Which foods could I ADD into my daily diet to support my immune health?

Sweet potatoes are a rich source of beta-carotene – the pigment that gives them their orange colour. Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A. Vitamin A support the function of many types of immune cells including macrophages, T cells and B cells. Vitamin A also bolsters defence against several infections.

Lentils are packed with fibre, containing an impressive 8g per half can. Specifically, lentils contain prebiotics – a type of fermentable fibre that acts as ‘food’ for your gut microbiome. In return, your gut microbes release health-promoting compounds into the gut, such as short chain fatty acids (SFCAs).

Let's chat abit more about Short Chain Fatty Acids....... going off topic of immunity but now is a great time to share this with you

I've been working alot with clients who are anaemic , low iron due to heavy periods and its interesting also that a SCFA called Butyrate really affects mood, its part of the gut-brain axis.
GUESS WHICH NUTRIENT is particularly important to its production? IRON!!! So if you have heavy periods and find you have really low mood they are connected and I have a protocol we can use together to support you with both symptoms.

Low mood can be down to so many things and as a nutritional therapist my training takes me to the root cause not just surpressing the symptom. Its wonderful how a few tweaks and expert advice can make a HUGE difference to symptoms you might have been struggling with for years.

I have so much knowledge to share with you, I absolutely LOVE what I do and would love to welcome you to any of my clinics

Have a super Monday whatever you are doing

This week I continued my professional development by completing Trauma-Informed Training and Mental Health First Aid Champion Training at Mind Somerset.

As a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist in Somerset, I specialise in supporting mental health, gut health, and emotional wellbeing through a compassionate, non-judgemental, and evidence-based approach. Creating a safe space allows clients to share openly, which is often key to identifying the root cause of symptoms.

My work includes nutritional therapy, genetic testing (including SNPs affecting serotonin production), and cellular-level support across all body systems, with a strong focus on the gut–brain axis. This holistic approach enables me to support clients experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, and burnout.

With my additional training, I am also equipped to recognise when someone may be approaching crisis, respond appropriately, and signpost to the right support services when needed.

✨ In-person clinic appointments in Somerset available
We are open daily during the last week of January and the third week of February.
