What can Clinical Nutrition help with?
At Pheno, we take a prevention-first approach to health.
Our experienced practitioners use clinical nutrition to support everything from chronic conditions to everyday concerns — with a focus on treating the whole person, not just symptoms. By working with the body’s natural ability to heal, we help you build lasting health from the inside out.
Gut Health
Your gut affects every system in the body — it’s often called the ‘second brain’ for a reason. It’s your biggest immune barrier and controls what enters the bloodstream. When it's not working well, you’ll often feel it - through bloating, pain, reflux, or irregular bowel movements. But gut issues can also show up as fatigue, skin problems, migraines or joint pain. We take a top-down approach: focusing on what goes in, how well you digest it, the strength of your gut lining, and the health of your microbiome.
Skin Conditions
The skin truly is a reflection of what is going on internally. When the skin is aggravated, whether that be eczema, acne or another skin concern, it’s communication from your system that something is out of kilter. Our approach is to identify what is driving the imbalance and address this.
Commonly this is in relation to 3 things - gut health, sex hormones and stress hormones. When we investigate these areas in more detail and provide the right tools for them to thrive, the skin settles down.
Anxiety
Chronic stress, poor sleep, nutrient depletion and gut imbalances can all contribute to anxious feelings. We take a whole-body approach to support your nervous system and promote calm, steady energy throughout the day.
Fatigue
Persistent tiredness is a sign something deeper is out of balance. We investigate factors like thyroid health, nutrient levels, blood sugar regulation, sex hormone balance, adrenal function and sleep to help restore lasting energy.
Painful/Heavy Periods
Severe period symptoms can be a sign of deeper hormonal imbalances. If they’re affecting your day to day life and preventing you from going to school or work then this is not normal! We work to understand why your periods are like this and address the root cause which could be to do with nutrient status, gut health, vaginal health or stress to name a few.
Digestive Issues
Bloating, reflux, constipation or diarrhoea can seriously impact quality of life. You may have been diagnosed with IBS or simply have niggly gut symptoms. Either way, we can help you figure out what’s triggering these and make a plan to address them.
Immune Support
Over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. When gut health is compromised, your body is more vulnerable to viruses, bacteria, toxins, and food sensitivities. Other factors like sleep, stress, hydration, and nutrient levels also impact immunity. We help you identify what’s dragging your immune system down — and give you the tools to build it back up.
Thyroid Conditions
Supporting optimal thyroid function can significantly improve energy, mood, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. We work with underactive, overactive, autoimmune thyroid conditions and subclinical concerns through personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement strategies.
Autoimmunity
Managing autoimmune conditions involves calming inflammation, supporting immune regulation and gut integrity. We use food as medicine and strongly encourage further exploration into the gut through testing to reduce flare-ups, calm immune activity and support long-term wellbeing.
Stress Management
Chronic stress affects every system in the body. We help build resilience with nutrition, lifestyle tools and targeted supplement support for your nervous system, hormones, and energy.
Irregular Periods
Irregular cycles can stem from stress, PCOS, thyroid issues or nutrient imbalances. We help identify what’s disrupting your cycle and support your body to return to a regular rhythm.
Sleep Issues
Struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep or actually have a deep sleep can impact all areas of your health. There are many factors that can influence this and we can work with you to restore a healthy circadian rhythm through the use of dietary tools, supplements and lifestyle factors.
Weight Gain / Loss
Weight gain is often a symptom, not the root issue. Instead of chasing restrictive diets, we focus on restoring balance. That means working on your gut, hormones, nervous system, sleep, and blood sugar regulation. When your body is healthy, weight loss (if needed) becomes a natural by-product - not the main goal.
Depression
Nutrition plays a key role in brain chemistry and mood regulation. We help identify and address underlying factors such as nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, and gut health to support a more stable and resilient mood.
Fertility & Preconception Care
Optimising your health before conception lays the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and baby. We support hormonal balance, egg/sperm health and nutrient status to give you the best possible start. If you come into challenges we can help to investigate why this may be and develop a plan to address areas of concern which could involve immune support, gut/vaginal microbiome, stress management and ovulation.
PMS & PMDD
Mood swings, cramps, and fatigue before your period aren’t just “part of being a woman.” We address the root causes—such as hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation—for smoother, more manageable cycles and a happier you!
Allergies
Allergic reactions often signal immune dysregulation or gut health issues. We support you with strategies that reduce inflammation, improve resilience, and strengthen immune tolerance.
Cholesterol Balance
High cholesterol isn't just about fat intake—it’s often linked to inflammation, liver health, and metabolic function. We take a whole-body approach to support healthy cholesterol levels naturally.
