Frankie Widdows
I had been "diagnosed" with IBS, and have suffered for the past 20 years. Having been poked and prodded in every undignified way possible, both on the UK nhs as well as paying thousands of my own money to go private, taken every medication possible, every test done - it always came back clear and little assistance was given to me to help relieve my symptoms. Then last summer it got so bad, but I had no one to turn to and knew that I was pretty much on my own. I was gaining weight and unable to lose it despite working out with personal trainers, sticking to their strict diet plans, and eating clean (or so i thought) I did one last attempt at research and came across Victoria Shorland. Skeptically (but in so much discomfort) I went to see her and after the first consultation she said "I think you are intolerant to sugar" - this was the first time anybody have ever identified this simple but possible obvious intolerance I had. So from here we embarked on a journey together, mapped out by visual diagrams of how my body reacts to certain foods etc. Over the weeks we also decided to cut out all wheat and all dairy too as we predicted I could too be intolerant - something that I must admit took me 8 weeks to get my head around and accept as it really is a major life style change - but you know what, not as difficult as you would imagine if you do your research. I could waffle on but I will keep this short -OMG I am cured - no more bloating looking like I am about to give birth, no more stomach cramps, not being able to stand up, feeling huge and grumpy and just not me. No more feeling frumpy and lethargic, guilty when i eat but hungry when I don't. Instead I enjoy my food, love a good old healthy salad, do not bloat and have dropped 2 stone without any vigorous exercise (12 stone now 10 stone). I now realise just how much crap and poison I was putting into my sensitive body that just couldn't cope with it - no wonder we get so sick. Victoria Shorland has been the only person to really help me and get to the bottom of my issues, and who I owe my new lease of life too. I also hate cooking but have found such simple alternatives to all the things I love but cannot have anymore - like my own amazing home made chocolate that is even better than cadburys. I wish that I had found Victoria all these years ago and didn't have to suffer in pain like I have. More...

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
Very, the phrase 'you are what you eat' is very apt, and I really do see huge changes in individuals health if they commit to their healthy diet and see it as a lifestyle change, rather than a 'diet' in its true sense.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the joy when patients are helped. It's spurs me on to help other people. The patient does the hard work really, as they have to make the changes. However, I still get a thrill when they tell me how well they feel.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis when I was 29 and wanted to make sure my diet and lifestyle were not detrimal to my skeletal health. I had always eaten well as I was very active, competitive rowing and mountain biking were very much a part of my life. Studying seemed the natural thing to do.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a 'no fads or gimmicks' Consultant, and I will give realistic goals. I really to make sure the patient will be able to achieve the changes I set. Also I offer an email helpline so patients can get help along the way.
I encourage consistency without calorie counting and point scoring.

Allergy Testing
Package 1
Bioresonance which includes the test and the consultation, which is £88.00 adults / £68.00 Under 16s. (This involves pressure on the finger using a probe. The consultation includes examination of a food and liquid diary, discussing through symptoms history, meal suggestions, advice and guidance and access to my email help after the appointment. I do sometimes prescribe supplements alongside the dietary advice.
The link below gives a description of the Bioresonance test, which is non-invasive, so very suitable for children, it is slightly less accurate than blood tests.
Package 2
If you wish to have blood tests I can offer blood tests (either IV or finger prick) which covers 295 items. The fee for this is £299. The results/report are examined by a GP and sent directly to you. You can then book the consultation with me if you want which is the same as Package 1. The consultation fee would be charged discounted at £58.00.
Consultant Nutritionist
I offer a consultation where we discuss your symptom history, examine your current eating style and then introduce changes to help alleviate your symptoms.
Meal suggestions are provided and you will be in contact with me via for support after the appointment.
