I first contacted Mark in April 2024 after a family member had attended one of his presentations. As she was very impressed by what he said, I decided to contact him.
For a number of years, I had suffered each winter with bronchitis / chest infections and my overall health was poor. In 2022, I experienced a bad case of pneumonia, although I was not hospitalised. The following year, after my bronchitis infection had finally cleared, I experienced extreme swelling and tingling in my hands and fingers, with painful joints throughout my body. I had previously been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
Following my initial consultation, Mark suggested some diagnostic tests with some diet, lifestyle and supplemental recommendations. 2024/25 has been the first winter season since January 2020 that I have not been ill with a cough and chest infection.
I am now feeling better generally with my overall health much improved. I am back to pre 2020 health. Since seeing Mark, I have not had any painful joints and all the tingling and pain in my hands and fingers has gone and are back to normal.
I have found Mark to be very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does and he is always helpful and flexible. I am so pleased that I saw Mark as it has resulted in overall improvement in my wellbeing. I have also had no AS flare ups since seeing Mark.

After suffering from a severe bout of food poisoning (campylobacter) followed by a course of antibiotics, I was left struggling with intense abdominal pain and ongoing digestive issues.
I was diagnosed with post-infectious IBS and offered a list of drugs which might alleviate symptoms. None of these seemed to provide any relief, and I began to lose hope that I would feel any better. That’s when I decided to consult with Mark.
Right from the first session, I felt reassured by his approach. Rather than just trying to alleviate my symptoms temporarily, Mark was committed to uncovering the underlying cause of my issues. A comprehensive stool test revealed significant dysbiosis, and he designed a clear, step-by-step plan to address it.
With Mark’s guidance, through tailored dietary changes and targeted supplements, I saw a remarkable improvement in my symptoms and started to feel like myself again.
In addition to everything else, I was a university student undergoing treatment with immunosuppressants for a connective tissue disease. Mark took this into consideration and empowered me to continue using my diet as a tool to help manage my condition, all while being mindful of the challenges that come with student life.
His ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, accessible way was invaluable, and the detailed information sheets and recipes he provided are resources I continue to rely on.
Mark took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the process with care. His genuine compassion and commitment to my well-being were clear from the start, and I am deeply grateful for his support and expertise. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

"The improvement is nothing short of miraculous."
"not had any painful joints and all the tingling and pain in my hands and fingers have gone"
"he has an incredible ability to guide you toward lasting wellness"
The reason I decided to see Mark was because I had been suffering from chronic Urticaria, wheezing and coughing for around four years. I had numerous visits to the GP, but it seemed that nothing was getting to the cause of the issues.
After the initial consultation with Mark, he suggested some supplements and lifestyle changes that would help relieve the symptoms. After a short time, I started to feel much better. My Urticaria settled down, and I started sleeping much better at night without being woken up, coughing and wheezing.
Each consultation with Mark led to more improvements. I am pleased to say that after four years of suffering, my symptoms have now virtually disappeared. The improvement is nothing short of miraculous. We have tackled the root causes rather than just the symptoms.
If you need help deciding whether or not to have a consultation with Mark, please do so. You will find that Mark considers all of the symptoms and genuinely works to resolve the underlying cause of the problems. I am confident that you will find that his advice will help.

"he has an incredible ability to guide you toward lasting wellness"
After recovering from several bouts of Covid in 2022 and 2023 I struggled with the lingering loss of taste and smell, but what came next was even more challenging. I developed symptoms of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) a constant nighttime cough, a drippy nose, and post-nasal drip that disrupted my sleep and daily life. No matter what I tried, the symptoms persisted.
After an official diagnosis I was prescribed PPI’s and antihistamines which were medication I was against taking and felt I needed to approach the issues with a more holistic approach.
That’s when I turned, in desperation to Mark after a recommendation from my Sister who had been working with him for her Menopause symptoms and I’m so glad I did!
He took the time to really understand my situation and created a customised nutritional protocol tailored specifically to my needs. His holistic approach addressed not just my reflux but my overall health. His recommendations for supporting supplements has been so beneficial, assisting with healing gut health, menopause and my LPR
Following his guidance, I noticed steady improvement. The nighttime cough subsided, the post-nasal drip reduced, and I finally began to sleep soundly again. His expertise and care made all the difference in my recovery from LPR.
Thanks to Mark I feel like I’m on the right path. We have spent the best part of a year dealing with my condition, with scheduled zoom appointments and tweaking of the plans.
If you’re dealing with LPR or other health challenges, I highly recommend working with him—he has an incredible ability to guide you toward lasting wellness.

"Within days of starting the new plan, I felt like a different person"
"Identify the root-cause and resolve what was a very unpleasant, chronic stomach condition"
"Identify the root-cause and resolve what was a very unpleasant, chronic stomach condition"
I approached Mark initially due to suffering from fatigue, low energy levels, brain fog and general low mood. I run a physically demanding business and work long hours and was struggling to prepare and eat the correct things to balance this along with getting the correct nutrition.
After an initial consultation with Mark he quickly realised that my high metabolism which was quickly depleting any food intake and was causing blood sugar spikes that were peaking and then crashing my mood and energy levels.
After an analysis of my current diet which was lacking in balanced and consistent nutrition along with inconsistent meal times, Mark put together a new plan which fit into my busy working schedule and was completely individual to my needs. I do not enjoy cooking or preparing food but this was all taken into consideration with smaller easy to prepare, quick meals to work conveniently around my work schedule.
Within days of starting the new plan and the recommendation of some basic supplements, I felt like a different person, I can go to the supermarket with a list of everything I need to make easy and quick but nutritious meals all to an organised plan for my needs. I am more alert within my business and able to make better decisions with my staff and clients.
Now three months on my plan is second nature and something easy to stick to and maintain and I feel great, I have had regular comments from family and friends on how my mood and general health has changed so drastically so quickly.
Without Mark's approach, expertise and advice I would almost certainly at this stage be at the doctors probably being put on a cocktail of antidepressants, effectively putting a plaster over my needs and still not gaining the correct nutrition. ... (or at the solicitors getting divorced!!!)...
I highly recommend Mark and his approach, he is friendly, approachable and offers a very affordable practice simply not available anywhere else, I will continue to use his services to keep me on track and stay healthy. Thank-you Mark!

Prior to seeing Mark, I had been suffering with unpleasant stomach symptoms for four years, and a previous stool test had revealed that I had low stomach acid. I had worked with two other professionals without success.
I decided to work with Mark as he had experience of working with clients with low stomach acid and IBS.
As expected, Mark recommended a comprehensive stool test and following a detailed analysis of the results along with my symptoms, he was able to advise on some further simple tests.
He then designed a plan of dietary and lifestyle changes alongside a supplement protocol.
Mark's approach is holistic and science based. I have been very impressed by his attention to both the biochemical and symptomatic detail involved in resolving my condition.
I have now been symptom free for approximately six months.
I am so pleased I have worked with Mark. I believe that he has been able to identify the root cause of, and resolve, what was a very unpleasant chronic stomach condition.

" I no longer wake every night with stomach problems, which is such a relief "
"difficult to imagine returning to my old diet now that I feel so much healthier in body and mind".
" I no longer wake every night with stomach problems, which is such a relief "
I started seeing Mark in March 2022. At the time, I was feeling quite frustrated and a bit desperate after many years of struggling with IBS and acid reflux.
I had been prescribed several medications and tried many things myself, but not been able to find a resolution. I felt that my digestion was not working properly at all, and this was causing me to have many disturbed nights.
Just prior to seeking Mark’s help I had been tested for cholesterol. The test showed it was too high and my doctor was suggesting that I started to take statins. As I was already taking 2 drugs to control acid reflux and another 2 for high blood pressure, I was not very keen on this idea!
Following some diagnostic testing to isolate possible trigger foods, he recommended some diet and lifestyle changes and a supplement programme to help my IBS and acid reflux. He also recommended some behavioural changes to help with my fitness and general well-being.
With Mark's help, I no longer wake every night with stomach problems, which is such a relief, and I now feel I have the tools at my disposal to manage my reflux and control any flare up in symptoms so much better.
I have been able to start reducing my long-standing medications and hope to be able to continue to do this over time. My cholesterol has reduced significantly to an acceptable level so that statins are no longer being recommended by my GP and I have lost some weight, which has helped to reduce my blood pressure.
I have found Mark to be very knowledgeable, understanding and pleasant to deal with and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else.

"difficult to imagine returning to my old diet now that I feel so much healthier in body and mind".
" I no longer wake every night with stomach problems, which is such a relief "
I visited Mark in January because I was overweight, had very low energy levels, high levels of stress and poor mental health. Following years of self abuse through inactivity, alcohol & substance abuse, poor dietary habits, and a stressful work life, I needed to re-evaluate.
Mark took me through a detailed process and devised a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan for me. This plan consisted, not only of individually targeted nutritional advice but also manageable lifestyle changes. His explanations were clear and thorough, and the scientific and holistic insight from Mark has left me with a better understanding of the interaction between my mind and body. I am now much more aware of the nutritional and therapeutic requirements that will enable me to achieve my goals and lead a happier and fulfilling life.
It has been nearly 2 months since I saw Mark and I have seen an improvement in general well-being, energy, fitness, weight loss and my mental health. I do not feel like I am on a diet plan, the changes that I have made under Mark's guidance are changing my life and I am staggered by the impact it has had in such a short space of time.
I can’t recommend him highly enough!

"difficult to imagine returning to my old diet now that I feel so much healthier in body and mind".
"I have long suffered from digestive problems which originated from a serious bout of food poisoning when I was travelling in South America. While I spent the next decade accepting or ignoring the symptoms - unpredictable loose stool movements and unpleasant gas after meals - things took a turn last summer, when my usual diet backfired and the irregularities in my gut became more unpredictable. I lost confidence in eating food that others had prepared, and I grew frustrated about how one bad passing could derail my plans for the morning and day ahead. It was then that I contacted Mark.
I was immediately impressed by Mark's insight and passion for the subject. My previous hospital investigations (including a colonoscopy and endoscopy) revealed inconclusive causes, but during my initial consultation Mark suggested what he thought could be contributing to my problems. He advised me that my diet was high in high-histamine foods such as processed meat and cheese, and that an acquired intolerance to histamine and dairy may be contributing to my issues. It was time to cut out bad habits.
After a comprehensive stool test, Mark recommended a targeted course of probiotics to increase the gut bacteria which were severely lacking in my results, along with dietary changes and supplements to support my digestion and encourage my gut to heal. Initially, I adhered to the supplement and probiotic plan but didn’t make all of the dietary changes that Mark had recommended (old habits die hard!). I experienced some improvement in my symptoms but not a complete resolution. However, through regular contact and support, Mark persisted with his advice about me avoiding my trigger foods and I finally bit the bullet and started new meal plans.
Over the next few months, I noticed dramatic changes in my bowel movements: my loose stools improved and I no longer worried about those unpredictable reactions which left me frustrated and despondent. I learned to be disciplined, cutting out the histamine foods which I had over-eaten for so long and finding joy in using new ingredients. While Mark's aim was to attend to my intolerance to certain foods and ultimately reintroduce them to my diet, it is difficult to imagine ever returning to my old diet now that I feel so much healthier in body and mind.
It has now been 5 months since I contacted Mark and I am hugely grateful to him for his expertise and encouragement. The diet and lifestyle plan that he devised has greatly improved my health and wellbeing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone else who has suffered from my previous symptoms. His knowledge and patient manner make him an excellent choice.

"significant improvement in my acne"
" My NHS doctor has asked for details of parts of the plan to recommend them to her patients!"
"difficult to imagine returning to my old diet now that I feel so much healthier in body and mind".
I decided to see Mark due to a long-term problem with acne, and a period of low energy following a serious infection.
After a thorough consultation, Mark provided a series of suggestions for diet and lifestyle changes, accompanied by a detailed and informative explanation of each. He also provided helpful recipes and other relevant resources.
After a couple of months, I had noticed a significant improvement in my acne, to the point that I decided to stop taking the acne medication that I had been taking for 4 years. This was accompanied by an increase in my energy levels.
I'm very grateful to Mark, he provided an excellent service and was kind, considerate and informative throughout. I highly recommend him.

" My NHS doctor has asked for details of parts of the plan to recommend them to her patients!"
" My NHS doctor has asked for details of parts of the plan to recommend them to her patients!"
Having suffered with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and serious GORD (Gastro-oesophageal reflux disorder/Barrett's oesophagus) for many years, I had begun to lose hope of a pain free life. I'd been on very strong anti-inflammatory painkillers for more than 10 years and to counter the side effects, had to take PPI's, such as omeprazole, on a daily basis.
Being in my 30s and considering the side effects of those drugs, the outlook for my future health wasn't great. I'd had multiple MRI's, seen specialists and tried, without success, all sorts of intense diets, physiotherapy, internet research, vitamins and exercise to reduce the pain. Finally, the doctors had offered me a medication with potentially fatal side effects as a last resort, so after talking to Mark I decided to give him a chance to help me out before I committed myself to a lifetime of medication.
After a comprehensive initial assessment, Mark suggested a combination of diet and lifestyle changes and provided a comprehensive and accessible manual which I still turn to on a regular basis. Alongside the changes to my diet and lifestyle Mark recommended a course of potent natural antifungals, antimicrobials and other anti-inflammatory supplements, to concentrate on healing my gut, rebalancing my immune system and supporting my liver after years of alcohol and PPI abuse.
Previous lab test results had shown that I had some problems in these areas which Mark explained can be a common trigger for my autoimmune disease. Everything made sense talking to Mark; the history of my health and how one thing led to another. It was like unravelling a puzzle as Mark could explain what had happened along the way to cause these changes and why they led to the development of my symptoms.
Mark has an incredibly thorough understanding of the mind and body and the care/knowledge that he put into my plan would never and could never have been replicated by any doctor, nor by scouring the internet for help.
It has now been 4 months since my initial consultation and I am continuing to reap the rewards. My ankylosing spondylitis for now is in remission and as such I no longer require any medication/drugs to manage the pain. I no longer have acid reflux, I haven't had a cold or virus (which I used to get every other week) since I started the protocol. I've had blood and stool tests from the doctor showing that my gut is in perfect condition, my liver is 100% functional and my health is as good as it can get. Even my NHS doctor has asked for details of parts of the plan as she wants to recommend them to her patients!
I went to Mark for help with my autoimmune disease but came away with a resolution for not only that, but for so many areas of my life from how to relax, enjoy good foods and live a happy, sober, pain free life. I still take the supplements religiously and have trialled not taking them and can see how effective they are. My quality of life has greatly improved, my wife has noticed the difference and is hugely grateful to Mark and to me for seeking his help.
I can't recommend Mark highly enough for any issue you may have, he is friendly, professional and communicative in a way that immediately puts you at ease. He is passionate about health and helping others and offers incredible value for a service that, in my opinion, is just not available from any other professional source or otherwise.
Thankyou Mark!!

"Mark’s expertise works. No higher praise than that!"
" My NHS doctor has asked for details of parts of the plan to recommend them to her patients!"
" My NHS doctor has asked for details of parts of the plan to recommend them to her patients!"
I went to see Mark some months after chemotherapy and surgery for oesophageal cancer because I was concerned about sustained weight loss and bowel function.
After eating what I thought of as a normal breakfast I would go straight to the bathroom, within minutes, and lose instantly whatever I had eaten for breakfast. Although the NHS medical team were excellent they seemed to have no time to listen to my particular aftercare issues, I felt that the hospital dietician wasn't interested in doing much more than giving me a leaflet.
After an initial consultation with Mark I booked a trio of appointments and a comprehensive stool test. Mark then made a number of diet, lifestyle and supplemental recommendations which quite quickly resulted in stabilising my bowels and my weight.
Now, six months later, bar the odd day when I have ignored Mark's advice, my bowel function is normal, my weight has stabilised and I consider myself fit and well. Even my oncologist thought the degree of personal support from Mark had made me a real difference in my recovery and all my family and friends say how well I now look. Of course most of the credit for this goes to the brilliant surgeons and oncologists, but after they had ‘done their bit’ Mark provided the icing on the cake.
I was very sceptical about anything outside of the NHS, but since January 2020 his results speak volumes: Mark’s expertise works. No higher praise than that!
