MICHAELA NEWSOM
THE MENOPAUSE NUTRITIONIST
Hi, I'm Michaela
I'm a Registered Nutritional Therapist and I help women over 40 go from surviving to thriving
Helping women feel
good again
is my superpower
I specialise in women's health and hormones and help women going through the menopause to look and feel their absolute best.
In a former life I worked in the fashion industry where I worked hard and partied harder. I hit my 40’s struggling with low energy, mood and on the verge of burnout but I found a way to turn it around through diet and lifestyle changes. Now I feel better than ever and I want to do the same for you. After discovering the power of nutrition, I decided to retrain as a Nutritional Therapist and I spent 4 years training at the Centre for Nutrition Education and Lifestyle Medicine.
​
I passionately believe that good health is the key to a long and happy life and it is my mission is to help as many women as possible live their best life. When you work with me crazy fad diets or calorie counting are a huge no-no. Instead, we will focus on nourishing your body at a cellular level and work with your body instead of against it.
"I believe the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you"

My home life
I’m 50 years old, married and a mum of 2. I live in North London but I grew up near the beach so as much as I love the city, my happy place is by the sea.

Family life and work keep me busy but I absolutely love playing tennis and I like to read although its mostly nutrition books. Despite being a nutritional therapist and enjoying eating well, I don’t actually really enjoy cooking so I totally understand if you don’t either!
