Hello!

Living with Crohn’s disease has shown me first-hand how gut issues can affect every part of your life — your energy, your mood, your confidence, even your enjoyment of food. I know how frustrating it is to feel limited by your gut, to look at foods you love and wonder, “Can I ever enjoy that again?”. Thankfully, understanding food has allowed me to enjoy it again.

​

The Beginning

​

My journey began in December 2019. I had just finished my Master’s degree and was ready to start the next chapter of my life — but instead, I was met with worsening gut pain that no one could explain.

I’d always been active, into the gym and sports, and thought I ate fairly well (though takeaways were my weak spot). Still, by March 2020, my symptoms had become severe enough to need invasive testing — but with hospitals overwhelmed by COVID, I couldn’t get seen. Eventually, after arranging tests in the private sector I had a MRI, CT scan, Endoscopy, and blood work, but nothing major showed up. I had some irritation to my stomach lining but that was put down to stress.

​

Diagnosis and the Search for Answers

​

Nearly a year later, after months of persistent pain, in April 2021 I finally had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I was prescribed Mesalazine and continued trying to live normally — enjoying my favourite foods and drinking but within a couple of months I had started working with my first gut coach. That’s when I began to dive deep into nutrition and gut health, realising how much of an impact diet could truly have and how little I actually knew.

A couple of years later (August 2023), I decided to stop medication and see if I could manage things solely through diet. Initially, I saw progress — but in April 2024, another colonoscopy revealed my condition had spread and was  reclassified as Crohn’s disease. That moment changed everything for me.

​

Experimenting with Diet and Healing

​

From the moment the diagnosis changed to Chrons, I knew I had to become more strict and go further with my understanding of nutrition. I went all in on a plant-based diet, studied how different foods affected me, though reactions were inconsistent (what worked one week didn’t the next), watched countless podcasts and debates, and read countless books. After a difficult period in the summer of 2024, I was made redundant from my job and flared badly. This prompted me to start working with another gut coach who took a slightly different approach to the one I had used the previous year. Over the six months working together, I made real progress, but around Christmas I flared again. In the new year I decided I was going to try a different approach and started working with a new coach, this time with a different strategy. I worked with him for 3 months before my symptoms worsened with reactions to foods being worse than when we started and gut pain that was worsening. I couldn't understand why certain foods were causing problems one week and not the next. I decided to stop working with coaches and begin working with a functional lab in London. 

​

Learning and Testing Everything

​

In May 2025 I began working with a functional health practitioner. I had my microbiome, SIBO, and organic acid levels tested — all of which showed imbalances. We created a supplement and diet plan alongside a short course of steroids arranged by my IBD team, and for a time, I felt good. A few months later, around my birthday, I began experiencing pain again, which I suspected was from one of the supplements I was taking. I paused them and the pain died down. I stopped working with them and by September had another colonoscopy showing there was inflammation and it had worsened — despite doing everything right. I realised at this point I needed to consolidate what I knew, shut out the noise, and dial in to what really worked for me. 

​

The Turning Point

​

That was a turning point. I realised that true healing isn’t about following strict rules or chasing the next “fix.” It’s about balance — understanding your body, your triggers, and the science behind nutrition. Over the years, I’ve spent thousands of pounds working with different coaches, specialists, and programs — all promising answers. Out of everyone I worked with, only one person truly made a difference. That experience taught me what it feels like to be overwhelmed by conflicting advice, to waste time and money searching for clarity that never comes, and to feel like there's nowhere to turn to. It’s why I’m so passionate about helping others cut through the noise.

​

From Corporate to Coaching

​

I hadn't originally planned to go down the route of PT / Nutrition Coach. Before my health had seriously deteriorated, I was building a successful career — climbing the ladder and developing skills in sales and business development. I had wanted to work towards making the natural world a better place through business, but over time, it became clear that I couldn’t keep diverting my attention away from health and fitness any longer. It was where my energy, passion, and purpose was pulling me. 

I made the decision to leave the corporate world and dedicate myself fully to it. I studied and qualified as a Level 5 Nutrition Coach and a Level 3 Personal Trainer, combining formal expertise with my lived experience to create a truly effective, practical approach to gut health and wellness.

​

Finding My Own Approach

​

In the end, I took little bits from every practitioner, every approach, and every experience — and formulated my own method: one that blends evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle strategy, and a deep understanding of the individual.

Over time, with patience and a more balanced, personalised approach, I was finally able to reintroduce and tolerate foods I previously couldn’t — something that once felt impossible. It reminded me that progress isn’t always linear, but it’s absolutely possible with the right strategy and mindset. I also became qualified in nutrition, understanding what supplements are worth taking, how certain vitamin or minerals can affect us, and what foods are good at what times. Weight loss, Chrons and many other conditions are complex and what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. It took me going through that journey to understand what really works for me. My mission is to help people understand how food can work for them to achieve whatever goals it is they want to. ​

The Creation of Eat2Wynn & Move2Wynn

​

That’s when Eat2Wynn and Move2Wynn were born — not just as businesses, but as a mission. They allow me to dedicate my time to managing my own condition while helping others overcome their health struggles, build confidence, and regain control of their wellbeing.

I know what it’s like to feel lost, frustrated, and out of options. That’s why my coaching focuses on cutting through confusion, finding what truly works for you, and building sustainable habits that actually last.

Healing starts with what we eat and drink — and with the right approach, you really can take back control of your health.
