Welcome to the newsletter
…that guides you towards better health, through diet and nutrition. It’s strictly evidence based. But it’s also experience based.
I’m a nutritionist and for nearly thirty years I’ve been seeing clients for a wide range of health issues and arming them with the knowledge and confidence to make the right dietary changes to achieve their health goals.
Each newsletter is like a mini consultation. Everyone is different, but everyone eats and can be affected by what they eat. We are all humans, made of the same stuff and belonging to the same species.
This newsletter roots out the most common causes of common symptoms and health problems, and points you in the right direction. There’s a particular emphasis on mental health, as I specialise in food and the brain.
About Maria Cross
I became a nutritional therapist in 1994. Since then, I’ve also been a university lecturer and tutor, helping set up the first BSc nutritional therapy degree clinic in the UK, and published two books. I’ve also led numerous workshops and given talks on the link between diet and health.
I have an MSc in food and nutrition. I specialise in diet and mental health, but to understand mental health is to understand diet and the gut; to understand the gut is to understand the immune system. You can’t separate the immune system from the hormonal system, or metabolism from muscle. The body works as a complete ecosystem, and the whole is always greater than the sum of its individual parts.
My story
I learned much of that from personal experience: studying nutrition put paid to years of intestinal misery. I had the gut from hell. For nigh-on 15 years I had lived with almost daily, often excruciating abdominal pain, accompanied by some extraordinary bloating and gas. Then there were the spots and rashes, and the brain that didn’t work properly: poor memory and a persistent fog were constant companions.
In my early, pre-nutrition student days, I lurched from one bad lead to another in my quest to resolve all these issues, having no idea that all my problems were connected. Nutrition joined the dots for me; I was able to work out the root causes of my issues and restore my health and wellbeing.
That is what I aim to help you do.
