I'm Joe Alvarez, a specialist gut health dietitian at The Gut Health Clinic, supporting adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and a range of digestive symptoms. With around 10 years of clinical experience, I combine evidence-based practice with a strong personal understanding of IBS, having lived with the condition myself, and bring a compassionate, highly individualised approach to every consultation.

I offer online consultations, so I can support clients wherever they are based, including Spanish-speaking clients, as I am fully fluent in Spanish. I also provide an affirming, respectful space for LGBTQ+ clients.

Living with IBS myself, I understand how much digestive symptoms can affect confidence, daily life and relationships with food. That personal experience shapes the way I work.

I take an evidence-based, individualised approach, recognising that no two people respond to food, stress or lifestyle factors in the same way. Rather than applying generic advice, I focus on identifying the specific drivers of your symptoms and building a structured, realistic plan that helps you regain control without unnecessary restriction.

I work within an established specialist service led by gut health scientist and thought leader Dr Megan Rossi. The Gut Health Clinic has over 45 years of combined clinical experience and has supported more than 5,000 clients since 2019. Working within a clinic means access to shared clinical frameworks, specialist resources and trusted referral pathways, including collaboration with GPs and gastroenterologists where appropriate.

Your initial consultation is a structured 60-minute appointment, including a full assessment of your diet, medical history, symptoms, lifestyle and goals, followed by a personalised action plan.

"Joe was very patient and helpful discussing my situation, providing advice and dietary information sheets to easily refine my diet, resulting in a very positive improvement to my symptoms as well as advice for ongoing progress. Very easy to talk to and providing sensible and achievable targets to follow."
