Libby Linford BSc (Hons), Dip ION, BANT, AFMCP, CNHC

Fully qualified and insured BANT registered nutritional therapy practitioner, registered nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner.

Hi, I’m Libby,

I help people with autoimmunity, unexplained illness, and chronic gastrointestinal health issues to transform their lives by taking control of their health. I will support you to move from a life restricted by unrelenting fatigue, pain, and anxiety, to a life where you can enjoy each day without limits.

I am a fully qualified and insured BANT registered nutritional therapy practitioner, registered nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner.

My journey into the world of nutrition all began when my own health challenges led me to research nutritional and natural approaches to wellness. Having gone through the conventional medicine system with no real answers, I, like you decided that the answer was to be found in food, and nutrition and lifestyle approaches.

Having graduated from the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition in 2013 with a Distinction and the prestigious Ian Marber (Food Doctor) award, I have over nine years experience working in clinical nutrition, utilising a functional medicine approach to identify the true underlying cause of my clients health concerns. I have since completed further functional medicine training through the Institute for Functional Medicine, and the world renowned Kharrazian Institute.

I have a significant clinical interest in environmental medicine which is the study of the role of the environment on our health, and how the chemicals and toxins we are exposed to through our food, air, water, home and work environments are a considerable causative factor in the development and maintenance of disease states. I work to support those suffering with environmental-mediated disease such as mould and chemical toxicity and related illness.

Due to my own and my family’s experience of autoimmunity I made the decision to focus all of my attention on, and pour all of my passion into providing a long-term transformative experience for those with autoimmune disease.  I know what it is like to search endlessly for the answers, to sometimes feel hopeless and lost without a clear direction towards health, and frustrated when you know there is more that can be done, BUT I also know that with the right approach it really is possible to regain health. 

My approach is always scientific, systematic, and tailored to the individual. I find the answers where many may not. Are you ready to take control of your health, and enable yourself to live the life that you wish?

  • Libby Linford

    “Libby has given me practical help with developing a more rounded approach to food, one that also impacts on my entire wellbeing. I have always been susceptible to emotional eating and making snap choices in times of stress. Libby has given me tips to make considered choices and has helped shift my thinking to a position of nourishment, rather than starving myself.

  • Libby Linford

    “I sought advice from Libby because of a significant weight loss following an illness, subsequent operation and prolonged stay in hospital. Prior to seeing Libby, my weight had shown no signs of recovering but, following Libby’s recommended changes to my diet, over a three month period I am now back to my pre operation weight. Additionally previous digestive symptoms have also been positively influenced, due, I am sure, to the dietary changes recommended by Libby. Friends and family all say how much better I am looking!”
