Kirsten Brooks

I founded my clinic over 20 years ago as a registered nutritionist (BSc Nutrition, 2006) because I wanted to give people real answers and lasting solutions.
​

As an integrated medical practitioner I specialise in:

  • Brain function & mental wellbeing

  • Stress, fatigue and burnout

  • Neurodiversity

  • Mental illness

  • Hormone balance (such as PMS, PMDD, PCOS, peri/menopause)

  • Gut health & digestive issues

  • Weight management (including emotional eating & sugar cravings.  Thyroid health. And type 2 diabetes)

  • Chronic pain, fatigue & inflammation (such as fibromyalgia, migraines, CFS/ME)
     

Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of people thrive with tailored, science-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine that’s straightforward and eliminates the guesswork.

​

I offer both in-person consultations at my Forest Hill, South East London clinic and online consultations worldwide, making this support accessible wherever you are.

Are you ready to prioritise your health and wellbeing?

If you’ve ever been told “it’s all in your head”, or you’re stuck overthinking past experiences without answers, you’re not alone.
 

By working with me, you’ll gain clarity with a personalised plan that works for your body and your lifestyle. And with two decades of clinical experience, plus my own journey through similar struggles, I know that a diagnosis is not a prognosis- it does not define your future.

 

​

Precision nutrition & functional medicine

Health is multi-faceted. That’s why I use functional medicine root cause medicine — to uncover what’s really driving your symptoms. It looks at the body as an interconnected system. Your gut, hormones, brain, metabolism, and immune system don’t work in isolation — and neither should your health plan. This means identifying and addressing underlying imbalances, rather than masking them. 
 

My approach is strengthened with health coaching, so you feel motivated, supported, and able to achieve lasting results. 
 

Where needed, I also use cutting-edge lab testing and even nutrigenomics (genetic testing) to help identify hidden imbalances and speed up results.

​

Achievable, realistic plans​

I understand how busy life is. That’s why I work with you to create a realistic plan that suits YOU and your lifestyle, which is even suitable for those of you who don’t enjoy cooking. And I also provide practical tools to overcome barriers such as emotional eating, sugar cravings and low motivation, so you can build a balanced, positive relationship with food and health.

Getting no answers from conventional medicine?

  • Exhausted, stressed, burnt out, anxious, irritable, or unable to sleep?

  • Suffering from a mental illness?

  • ADHD, autism? Or poor concentration and brain fog? Or severe cognitive issues?

  • Struggling with gut issues such as reflux, bloating, IBS or intolerances?

  • Overweight? Can’t shift belly fat, battling thyroid or blood sugar problems, or stuck in emotional eating cycles? Prediabetes or type 2 diabetes?

  • Living with chronic illness, such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or migraines?

  • Blood tests look “normal” but you still don’t feel yourself?

​

If you’ve tried conventional medicine without answers, functional nutrition could be your next step.

 

Women’s health

  • Do you have PMS? Or PMDD, like I used to? Or hormone issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)? 

  • Perhaps you’ve got peri- or menopausal symptoms- affecting your mood, brain function, energy or well-being and want help either alongside HRT, or without it?

​

My personal journey overcoming debilitating issues

I share my journey openly because I want my clients to see that with the right support, healing is possible.
 

I’m now flourishing despite having ADHD — you can read more here. I no longer live with PMDD- premenstrual dysphoric disorder which I had since 15.

I’ve also recovered from the burn out and the fatigue from fibromyalgia, and the weight gain linked to PCOS. For more details, you can visit my about page or explore my blog, where I share my personal story in depth.
 

My approach focuses on balancing the nervous system, brain function, hormones, and metabolism — areas that are often compromised by chronic stress. By addressing these systems, my tailor-made plans enhance resilience, improve wellbeing, and reduce inflammation and other imbalances commonly associated with chronic illness.
 

I also place strong emphasis on gut health, because the gut–brain connection is central to both physical and mental health.

Medicine and MEDICINE BE THY FOOD

I started meeting with Kirsten regularly in September 2022, and she has been absolutely crucial in advising on key changes in my diet, which resulted in a new lifestyle really: lost weight, improved health, higher energy levels, and she also sorted an eczema which no one was able to cure for decades! Kirsten is fantastic in showing how wellness is connected to balanced, healthy diet. I absolutely recommend her if - like me - you are going through a phase of hormonal changes, stressful lifestyle, and difficulty balancing everything on the metaphorical plate! She will show you the way!

I was suffering badly from depression and anxiety that was really debilitating but since help from Kirsten, changing my diet, adding in tailored supplements and upping the visits to the gym, my depression and anxiety has totally lifted. I am so grateful to Kirsten that I can feel myself again

GARY.S

I have suffered with IBS in varying forms for well over thirty years. Kirsten arranged laboratory stool testing for me which identified several imbalances and with this knowledge was able set up a staged dietary plan which also included gut supporting supplements to help an overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria and inflammation. I now suffer no longer and thank Kirsten for relieving me of my daily fight with IBS.
