Something's not right. You're just not sure what.

You've Googled. You've tried cutting things out. You might have been to the GP and come away with nothing definitive. The symptoms are real - the fatigue, the breakouts, the bloating that won't shift, the cycle that makes the last week of every month feel like a different version of yourself - but the answers feel elusive.

Below are the symptoms I see most often in practice, each one explored from a nutritional perspective. What might be driving it? What tends to make it worse? Where nutrition can actually help, and where you need your GP in the picture too.

This isn't a symptom checker. It's a starting point for understanding what your body might be trying to tell you.

Symptoms

Adult Acne & Breakouts

Adult acne is rarely just a skin problem. Hormones, the gut microbiome, blood sugar, stress - all of it can show up on your face. This guide looks at what's actually driving breakouts from the inside, and what a food-first approach can do that no cleanser reaches.

Bloating & Digestive Discomfort

Bloating that's become normal isn't actually normal. This guide explores the most common nutritional and digestive drivers - from gut microbiome imbalances to blood sugar patterns to eating pace - and what tends to help without turning food into an anxiety spiral.

Bloating

Blood Sugar Crashes & Cravings

Energy that peaks and dips through the day, cravings that feel beyond willpower, mood that tracks your meals more than your mood - these are often blood sugar patterns. This guide explains what's happening and how to stabilise things through food, without eliminating anything that makes life worth living.

Blood Sugar Crashes

Constipation or Irregular Bowels

Bowel habits are a surprisingly good indicator of what's happening nutritionally and in terms of stress and gut health. This guide looks at what sluggish or erratic digestion can signal, and the dietary and lifestyle factors that tend to move things in the right direction.

Irregular Bowels

Difficulty Losing Weight

Weight that doesn't respond the way it should often has more going on - hormonal patterns, blood sugar regulation, cortisol, gut health, under-eating. This guide looks at what can sit beneath difficulty losing weight that has nothing to do with willpower or effort.

Weight Loss

Low Energy & Fatigue

Fatigue that doesn't resolve with rest is one of the most common - and most dismissed - complaints in clinic. Nutrient gaps, thyroid function, iron, blood sugar, cortisol: this guide works through what tends to drain energy quietly in the background, and where nutrition can make a real difference.

Low Energy

PMS, Painful Periods & Cycle Symptoms

Cycle symptoms are common. They're not inevitable. This guide looks at the hormonal and nutritional factors that influence PMS, pain and cycle-related mood changes - and how adjusting what you eat (and when) can genuinely shift how you feel across the month.

Perimenopause Symptoms

Perimenopause looks different for everyone, and it can start earlier than most expect. This guide explores why symptoms vary so widely, what nutrition and lifestyle can support, and where medical input matters alongside everything else.

Not sure which one is yours?

Often it's more than one. Fatigue and skin issues. Bloating and cycle changes. They're frequently connected - different symptoms, shared drivers. Book a free call and we'll work out where to focus first.

Book a free introductory call with me. We can have a chat about how you are feeling now and what your main concerns are. But most importantly we can talk about what you'd like to get out of working together and how you'd like to feel.

There is no obligation to work with me following this call but it's a great opportunity to have an informal chat and ask any questions about my Nutritional Therapy programme before committing.

Book in using the calendar shown and if there aren't any dates or times that suit you drop me an email to louise@louisegouldingnutrition.co.uk
