Debra Stocks, BSc, Nutritional Therapist
Having spent over twenty years in the Financial Services industry and bringing up a young family I experienced first hand how the stresses of life can take its toll on health. I struggled for many years with digestive issues that couldn’t be solved by conventional means, I decided to explore some of the complementary alternatives. Accepting that my diet and lifestyle were probably the main factors in my condition I knew I needed to make changes. But where do you start? There was so much information available but with most of it being contradictory it was a challenging route to take.
So, in 2008 I decided the only way to really understand what was needed to help improve my and my family’s health was to go back to school and learn. I studied for four years at the Centre for Nutrition and Life Style Management (CNELM) in Wokingham, completing a BSc with Middlesex University in Nutritional Therapy in April 2012. I now work with clients with a wide range of conditions and Sports enthusiasts, but specialise, due to my first hand understanding, of the impact of Stress on health.
