Natalie knows exactly what it feels like to be exhausted, bloated, and running on empty – reaching for a sugar fix at 3pm just to get through the afternoon.

In her mid-twenties, working in the City of London, she looked around at her colleagues and saw the same story written on every face – growing waistlines, more prescriptions, and the same cycle starting again tomorrow. She was young, routinely dismissed, and felt awful. But she could also see exactly where it was heading.

Her family history made it impossible to ignore. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and dementia run through her family on both sides. She understood something that is still frequently overlooked – insulin resistance develops silently over a decade or more before blood sugars ever flag on a standard test. She could feel it. She just didn’t have the words for it yet. That was her turning point. Not a diagnosis. Not a prescription. A decision that it was up to her, and only her, to change the trajectory.

Natalie’s areas of expertise and health interests

Today, Natalie is the founder and Clinic Director of Integral Wellness, an evidence-led personalised nutrition clinic specialising in cardiometabolic health. She leads a team of registered Nutritional Therapists supporting men and women with blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, blood pressure, weight management, fatty liver, and heart health – including those navigating the journey with GLP-1 medications. Her focus goes beyond short-term fixes, helping clients build sustainable habits that improve metabolic markers, restore energy, and, where possible, support remission of chronic conditions and, where appropriate, reduce or eliminate medication dependence.

Beyond the clinic, Natalie is a passionate advocate for regenerative farming, farm-to-fork eating, and reducing reliance on ultra-processed foods – believing that the future of human health is inseparable from the health of our food systems.

Other work and press features

What sets Natalie apart is the rare combination of hands-on clinical care and leadership at the frontier of nutrition innovation. Alongside the clinic, she is Head of Nutrition for Tonic Health, and she plays a strategic role spanning evidence-based education, product development, and brand communications. She also delivers clinical education for Lingo, an Abbott company, helping healthcare professionals integrate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) into primary care as a preventative approach. A recognised academic voice, she lectures for academic institutions and speaks at professional conferences, including national GP conferences, healthcare professional events, the RHS, and the Defence Women’s Network (MOD).

Natalie’s expertise has earned her a prominent place in the national media, with features in The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, and The Sun, as well as appearances on several podcasts, BBC, LBC and Heart radio stations, and GB News Live. Her work has also been featured in Healthline, Healf, and The Well Edit. A full press archive is available here.
