From Obsession to Profession: My Journey as a Nutritionist near Greenside, Ryton, Wylam, and Hexham.
If you’re looking for a nutritionist near you, I’d like to share my story. My journey into nutrition wasn’t conventional—it started with personal struggles and a determination to transform my health and career. Today, I’m proud to offer tailored, science-based nutritional support to clients from my office at Infinity Fitness Gym, Lead Rd, Greenside, Ryton NE40 4JU.
Discovering the Power of Nutrition
As a teenager, I was far from the nutritionist I am today. I was overweight, severely underperforming at school, and aiming for a future as a chef in the Royal Logistics Corps. My grades were so poor that I barely expected to qualify for catering courses. But as I trained for the army, I realized how important nutrition was—not just for cooking but for improving my fitness and overall performance.
There was just one problem: I didn’t understand the science behind it. Nutrition seemed impossibly complex, and I struggled to grasp even the basics. Determined to change that, I began studying everything I could. What started as a challenge to better myself turned into a passion that reshaped my life.
From Failing Grades to Academic Success
By the time I left school, I’d achieved something no one expected. The D’s and E’s of my earlier years were replaced by A*’s to B’s, with just one C (French wasn’t my strong suit!). With newfound confidence in my abilities, I pursued A-levels and eventually multiple degrees.
During my studies, I realized that many people struggled with nutrition for the same reasons I had. The science was intimidating, and accessible guidance was hard to find. That’s when I decided to make a difference.
Launching KnowHowNutrition
At 18, I started my first business, KnowHowNutrition, with a mission to make nutrition science approachable. The business also focused on teaching people how to grow their own produce, eat healthily on tight budgets, and understand the environmental impact of food choices. These were areas I felt were often ignored by mainstream health advice.
Looking back, the business was ambitious for an 18-year-old with no experience. With a small team and big ideas, it was a steep learning curve, and ultimately, it didn’t succeed. But the lessons I learned shaped every project I’ve taken on since.
