Helen Phadnis
MSc Dietetics
I’m Helen Phadnis, a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience, including 12 years in NHS teaching hospitals and more than 10 years in private practice.
My main area of expertise is highly personalised nutrition using DNA testing. I combine advanced nutrigenomic testing with my clinical dietetic experience to help clients understand how their individual genetic profile may influence areas such as appetite, weight management, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, vitamin and mineral needs, food sensitivities and exercise response.
I specialise in weight loss, IBS and digestive health, sports nutrition and personalised nutrition. I’m also trained in the low FODMAP diet for IBS and work with clients who are tired of conflicting nutrition advice and want a clear, practical plan that is tailored to them.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I look at your health, symptoms, lifestyle, food preferences, goals and, where appropriate, your DNA results to build a nutrition plan that feels realistic and sustainable.
Depending on what you need, this may include dietary analysis, personalised recommendations, bespoke meal plans, recipes and ongoing support between appointments.
I see clients online or face to face at Brighton Sports Therapy and The Montefiore Hospital in Hove, and I work with both self-funding and medically insured clients.
My aim is to help you understand what works best for your body, whether your goal is sustainable weight loss, better gut health, improved energy or stronger sports performance.
