Evidence-based nutrition to support your mood, energy and focus

Who I help

I help people improve how they feel, think, and function through personalised and  evidence- based nutritional strategies that support the brain and body together.

At a time of information overload, my role is to critically evaluate the evidence for you. My recommendations are firmly grounded in clinical science and evidence-based dietetic practice, complemented by a broad understanding of food safety, nutrition research and innovative nutritional approaches. This enables me to help clients distinguish scientific fact from marketing claims, misinformation, and nutritional myths.

I support adults who are experiencing:

    • Stress, burnout and low mood
    • Brain fog and low mental clarity which may or may not be exacerbated by hormonal fluctuations.
    • Difficulty with focus or attention (ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions)
    • Eating difficulties related to sensory sensitivity and limited food preferences.
    • Fatigue and low energy including fibromyalgia, POTs and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
    • Irregular eating patterns and nutritional insufficiencies
    • concerns about long-term brain health and cognition

How can I help you?

I take a holistic approach, looking at your diet, physical health, and mental wellbeing together, and then support you with realistic lifestyle changes that help restore balance and improve your overall wellbeing. You will gain the skills to implement sustainable, adaptable changes that continue to support your wellbeing through life’s evolving demands and challenges.

Why should you consult a Dietitian?

Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals regulated by law and trained to provide evidence-based dietary advice for both health and medical conditions.

Their qualifications are nationally recognised and regulated to ensure safe, scientifically supported practice.

Whilst  ‘Dietitian’ is a protected title,  ‘nutritionist’ is not and is not legally protected so only registered dietitians are held to strict professional and ethical standards.  This gives clients confidence that the advice they receive from a registered Dietitian is safe, credible, and based on current scientific evidence.

 

Welcome and thank you for visiting

 I’m Nastaran, a Registered Dietitian with over 14 years of diverse clinical experience helping people improve their health. I specialise in evidence-based nutrition for brain health and neurodiversity, helping people make small, practical changes that can lead to meaningful improvements in their physical and mental health. Looking after your health, especially your cognitive health is one of the most valuable long-term investments you could make.

Growing up in Iran, I saw early on how closely the food we eat influences our health.  My interest in nutrition deepened when I started working as a pharmacy counter assistant before starting university. I noticed how people relied on medicines for even minor health issues when sometimes dietary changes could really make a big difference. The pharmacy also regularly received scientific publications, and I became fascinated learning that certain compounds in foods such as broccoli and pineapple were shown to be preventative of some cancers. This inspired me to study dietetics, the science and practice of applying evidence base nutritional knowledge to promote health and prevent illnesses.

Over time,  my professional and personal experiences shaped my career and my interest in the connection between nutrition and mental well-being. After receiving my own autism diagnosis, I developed a deeper understanding of the important role nutrition and overall health can play in supporting daily wellbeing, energy, and brain function.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you work with?

I support adults aged 18+, including students, people in high-stress professions, women during peri-menopause and menopause, and older adults aiming to optimise cognitive health and reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline. I have lived and clinical experience of autism and ADHD and can tailor dietetic and nutritional advice to help neurodiverse clients.

Do I have to have a diagnosed mental health condition to be eligible for your dietetic services?

No. I support people with diagnosed conditions and those who simply feel “not themselves”  due to experiencing ‘brain fog’ or  low mood, anxiety, burnout, poor sleep or unwanted changes in their appetite and weight.

When we are not feeling well in ourselves, our eating habits can be negatively impacted due to various reasons such as low energy levels or poor appetite, comfort or emotional eating. This can exacerbate our mood and may worsen an existing mental health condition. I can help you to take small steps to prioritise your health and well being and simplify eating healthier.

Can you work alongside my GP or psychiatrist?

Yes. Nutrition is not a replacement for medical care or medication. I aim to complement your existing treatment and, where appropriate, can provide letters or summaries for your healthcare team.
