Meet Benjamin Richardson - Your Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner for Brain & Body Health & Performance  at  The Healing Hub Mental Wellness

I'm a qualified, regulated, performance focused nutritionist with a particular focus on enabling clients to optimise their health right now and their healthy lifespan, or healthspan.

Working together, we start by using your health goals as our focus. These may be addressing a problem, such as brain fog, reduced energy, mood disorder, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or prediabetes. Alternatively, you may wish to gain or enhance a positive, such as focus & concentration, metabolic flexibility, body composition, work performance, exercise performance, or chronic disease risk reduction.

Next, we co-create a health optimisation plan for you, always shaped by what is practical and feasible for you to implement. The plan will include diet, which encompasses what, when, and how you eat. It includes lifestyle, such as sleep, exercise, stress, relaxation and your environment. It may also include any functional testing that helps inform your ongoing plan and may include any dietary supplements which are a specific match to your goals.

I act as your strategist, picking the most impactful changes to recommend to you. I also act as your coach, helping you make the changes through problem-solving, behavioural motivation, habit forming and accountability. To the extent you welcome it, I am also your educator, explaining the rationale for the recommendations.
