What comes after the fast?
For many clients, completing a water fast is not the end of their health journey – it is the beginning of a new relationship with food and diet.
Once your fast and refeeding period* are complete, the question becomes: how do you continue from here?
Many clients I have coached through fasting want to use the experience as a starting point for longer-term nutritional work. Rather than simply returning to their previous eating habits, they want to understand what dietary approach is most realistic, appropriate and sustainable for their individual needs.
The reality is that many people living with ongoing or complex health concerns also need more than just a single fast to heal, which means that a therapeutic diet in between fasts becomes crucial in keeping up the forward momentum.
This is where nutritional therapy can provide the next stage of support
I also work with people who aren’t yet ready to take the plunge into water fasting, or who want to improve their nutritional foundations before a future fast.
Fasting → Refeeding → Personalized nutrition → Long-term support
*The refeeding period itself is already covered by full coaching for any water fast.
Why Personalised Nutritional Therapy?
No single diet is right for everyone, and an approach that may be useful for a particular period or purpose is not necessarily the right diet for life.
I regularly meet clients who have tried protocols found online — including diets recommended by influencers or AI — without enough consideration of their individual health history, nutritional needs or everyday circumstances.
My approach is individual rather than dogmatic
We look at what you currently eat, how you respond to food, your health history, preferences and practical life, and use those pieces to build an approach that makes sense for you.
Clients who have already fasted often notice that their experience of food changes afterwards. Tastes can seem different, preferences may shift, and old eating habits can feel less automatic.
Nutritional therapy provides a useful space to explore what to keep, what to change and how to make those changes sustainable.
A food-first approach
My starting point is food itself. Rather than applying a fixed dietary system, I look at your current diet, health history, nutritional needs and how your body responds to different foods. The aim is to identify the changes that make most sense for you now, while recognising that those needs may continue to evolve over time.
What Happens During Nutritional Therapy?
Before your initial consultation, you’ll complete a detailed health questionnaire and diet diary.
1. Initial online consultation
Your first nutrition consultation lasts 75-90 minutes.
We’ll take a detailed look at your health history, current concerns, diet and nutritional needs. If you’ve previously worked with me through fasting, we’ll also consider your experience of fasting and refeeding.
Where useful, I may also draw on perspectives from traditional health systems such as Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, alongside modern nutritional approaches.
In more complex cases, I may suggest functional testing in areas such as gut or hormone health, allergies or genetic predispositions where this could add useful information to the nutritional picture. Given the additional cost involved, I never recommend testing routinely.
2. Your personalized plan
After the initial consultation, I’ll send you a written report containing specific dietary and supplementation recommendations.
Where possible, I prefer a natural, food-first approach rather than relying on a large number of supplements.
I often see clients arrive with such a long list of supplements that the supplementation protocol itself has become part of the problem rather than the solution. A smaller, more targeted supplement protocol also makes it easier to see what is genuinely useful, what is unnecessary and what may need adjusting.
3. Follow-up support
In your follow-up consultation, we’ll assess your progress and developments since the initial consultation.
Your nutritional recommendations can then be adjusted appropriately.
Because nutritional needs can change over time, ongoing support can be particularly useful for people dealing with long-standing or evolving health concerns.

FAQs
Do I need to have completed a water fast to work with you?
No. Many nutritional therapy clients do come to me after having worked together through fasting, but nutritional therapy is also available to people who aren’t yet ready to fast or who want to prepare nutritionally for a future fast.
What happens after my fast and refeeding period?
If you’ve worked with me through fasting, nutritional therapy can provide support for the next stage of your journey, helping you develop an individualized approach to diet and nutrition beyond the initial refeeding period.
Can I work with you if I have long-standing health concerns?
YYes. Many of my clients come with long-standing or complex health histories. During the initial consultation, we’ll look at your current concerns alongside your wider health history, diet and nutritional needs, and build recommendations from there.
Do you recommend supplements?
Where possible, I prefer to focus on food and improving the diet, rather than beginning with a large number of supplements. Where supplementation may be useful, I favour a smaller, targeted approach.
Will I need functional testing?
Not necessarily. In certain complicated cases, functional testing may be suggested to help resolve clinical uncertainties, but I never insist on testing.
Are consultations available internationally?
Yes. Nutritional therapy consultations are offered online, allowing me to work with clients worldwide.
