Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Nutrition Support
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, debilitating condition that affects every individual differently. Navigating the route to recovery can feel like a minefield, particularly when symptoms vary so widely and there is no single approach that works for everyone.
Having recovered from ME/CFS myself, I understand first-hand the physical and emotional challenges of living with the condition. My own recovery showed me just how important nutrition, lifestyle and mindset can be in supporting health, improving quality of life and helping people navigate the complexities of living with ME/CFS. You can read more about my recovery journey in the first chapter of my book.
That experience inspired me to become a Registered Nutritionist and Naturopath. Today, I combine lived experience with evidence-based nutrition, functional testing and personalised lifestyle strategies to support individuals with ME/CFS, post-viral fatigue and Long Covid through my virtual nutrition and naturopathy clinic, supporting clients worldwide.
Every consultation is tailored to the individual because no two experiences of ME/CFS are the same. Together, we explore the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalised plan designed to optimise your health, improve your quality of life and support your recovery journey.
My Book: A Practical Guide to Recovering from ME/CFS
With expertise from both a patient and practitioner perspective, this is your go-to toolkit for all things Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) / ME. This is the unrivalled solution to all things CFS: an appealing hybrid of self-help, education and how-to.
A highly accessible and practical evidence-based guide, this book is the perfect companion for anyone living with CFS/ME/long covid, loved ones of those affected and healthcare professionals seeking to expand their knowledge.

Why Choose Lauren for ME/CFS Support?
Nutrition Naturopathy NLP
Having recovered from M.E/CFS herself, Lauren has helped countless clients to recover and reclaim their health back. She is renowned for her multidisciplinary skillset, covering all of the key pillars that are essential for the recovery process. This includes targeted nutrition, functional testing, supplemental protocols, as well as the tools of NLP, pacing and mindset coaching to encompass a 360-degree approach to health rehabilitation. See the breakdown below:
Nutritionist (mBANT)
I am able to address your diet to optimise recovery from M.E / CFS, tailored to your own biochemical individuality.
Naturopath (CNHC)
I take a holistic approach, using laboratory testing to help identify biomarkers, root causes and drivers that are contributing to your symptoms, guiding bespoke supplemental recovery protocols.
NLP Practitioner
From my own journey and that of my various clients, I found that one of the missing pieces of the jigsaw puzzle to recovery from M.E / CFS is exploring psychological change. NLP (also known as neurolinguistic programming) is a brain re-modelling approach which looks to elicit positive physiological responses using the mind and body connection. We work to put the body into a healing state, helping to facilitate recovery. More on NLP here.
Master Practitioner (BPS)
A qualification I believe all Nutritionists should have. In M.E / CFS, sometimes an elimination diet can be an effective protocol. Yet more often than not, food phobias can arise, where people fear certain foods that may exacerbate their symptoms. I am trained with the National Centre for Eating Disorders in order to ensure my clients maintain a healthy relationship towards food when embarking on specific protocols to target their health condition.
In short, I believe your journey to recovery from CFS requires a 360-degree holistic approach which covers both diet, lifestyle and mindset. I am able to look at every angle holistically rather than treat each part of the body or symptoms in isolation. By knowing and engaging with your full health profile, I will help you to achieve results.
Post-viral Fatigue & Long-covid
Whilst not all, majority of M.E / CFS cases follow on from a virus (post-viral fatigue). With the outbreak of COVID, we are seeing more and more long-covid cases overlapping with the symptoms of M.E / CFS.
How I Can Help You
Nutrition & Naturopathy Clinic
Nutritional science is a complex field. With ever-evolving research, my role is to guide you on the right path to eating well and finding a diet that works to support you on your journey towards optimum health.
In my nutrition clinic, I may recommend functional testing to provide strategic insight into what is driving your M.E symptoms and underlying health concerns, as well as suggesting a targeted supplement protocol based on where you are at in your journey.
Finding your root to recovery from M.E / CFS can be a jigsaw puzzle for so many. Therefore I am here to guide you through the process and educate you on the tools to help reclaim your health in my 1-2-1 consultations.
Online Mindset Group Coaching
As well as my clinic work as a Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath, I am also a qualified NLP practitioner. Discover what NLP is HERE.
This 18-week group coaching programme includes a series of group calls for those suffering with M.E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well as those who have fatigue-related symptoms such as those with Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease and burnout:
1 fortnightly video call (9 calls total over 18 weeks) that opens the space for a collective sharing process; we will be discussing the mental and emotional challenges when dealing with M.E / CFS and check-ins to see how you are coping each week.
Benefits of group coaching include learning mindset strategies from NLP to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). I’ll provide some key stress-busting tools to manage macro and microstressors in your life, to get the body into a more healing state.
Benefits of group coaching include creating a positive community and a supportive network for like-minded individuals to connect and help one another.
Each call will close with a 15-20 minute anxiety-relieving meditation to send you off feeling calm and grounded.
You will also have access to the private M.E/CFS Facebook group.

Jack C. (M.E/CFS Nutrition & Nutrition Client)
Since working with Lauren, I have become much more educated on the topic of fatigue, CFS, variables that contribute to a healthy lifestyle and most importantly, variables that can influence unpleasant symptoms.
Lauren was able to lean on her own interpretations (alongside the results from appropriate tests) to recommend simple changes (and supplements) that have led to a significant reduction in debilitating symptoms I was initially experiencing.
Ultimately, I feel like my engagement with Lauren has equipped me for future life, enabling me to be mindful and aware of what is going to make me as healthy as possible.

Jennifer S. 31 (M.E/CFS Nutrition & Naturopathy Client)
I highly recommend the 3 month programme for anyone struggling with ME/CFS, especially if you have just received a diagnosis or are feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. Lauren is amazingly thorough and organised, sharing a wealth of information about the illness and recovery, as well as tailoring a plan to your needs. She is clearly very knowledgable and passionate about helping folks like us take steps towards better health, and I’m grateful to have found the clinic.

Polly T. 29 (M.E/CFS Nutrition & Naturopathy Client)
If I had found Lauren from the start of my Chronic Fatigue diagnosis, a practitioner who was trained collectively in all these areas I would have saved a lot of time in my recovery journey. She understood the whole picture and looked at my health from every possible angle to help me recover.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone suffering from M.E/CFS. Lauren is a wonderful coach and the course is full of tips and techniques to help your body get into a calm healing state. It is also invaluable to meet other people going through the same illness as you and hear their insights and experiences.

Lisa S. (M.E/CFS Mindset Coaching Client)
Thank you Lauren. This series has given me hope. Hope that my previous efforts have not failed, rather that I was lacking some tools. There were a few things stopping those previous efforts reaching their maximum effectiveness and now I have those tools.

Keren W. (M.E/CFS Mindset Coaching Client)
I have just completed the M.E/CFS Coaching course with Lauren and it was so insightful, educational and inspiring. Before I started I believed CFS recover wasn’t possible, but thanks to Lauren I now believe recovery is a definite. I can’t recommend it enough.

Savannah S. (M.E/CFS Mindset Coaching Client)
This coaching series was a crucial part of my route to recovery. Before starting, I felt quite lost, overwhelmed and isolated as I didn’t know much about what I was going through, let alone anyone else who was going through a similar experience. Lauren explores different techniques and concepts which help unpack some of the language we use around chronic illness, unhelpful thought patterns and really helpful coping mechanisms. I have incorporated a few of these techniques into my day- to-day life and I honestly don’t know where I would be without them; many of which apply to other areas of my life beyond my illness. Sometimes it’s just about recognising that you can change the relationship you have with your health, and this can flip your illness into a really empowering part of your life. I also have made fantastic friends from my group - we started a Whatsapp group and are in touch daily to provide support, share resources and virtual events to join! I am so grateful to Lauren for this very powerful series, and I know how much others will benefit from it, too.
