“After yo-yo dieting all my adult life, I finally have found something that I can do for the rest of my life. I am educated now in how to nourish and look after my body and actually understand what food does for me. Never before have I conquered my sugar demon but I’ve done it and no longer have over powering cravings. I have to admit, the price of this course nearly put me off joining but I would pay that 10 times over to feel as great as I do now.
As dramatic as this sounds, this programme has saved me and I am excited about the continued health benefits it will bring. I’m ready to start living life to the full.”

“Working with Catherine has been an amazing experience. Having struggled to overcome an illness I have seen great improvements in my physical and mental health as a direct result of the information, guidance and advice Catherine has given. I have learnt how to provide a tasty and nutritious diet for myself and my family and rediscovered a love of good food. Catherine worked in an informal and non judgemental way that allowed me to explore the changes I needed to make without fear of failure or mistake. Thanks Catherine, it really has changed my life.”

“Catherine Jeans, The Family Nutrition Expert, is precisely that. She really knows her stuff. I’ve learned more from her than any other nutritionist. And she’s passionate about what she does, which I found contagious.
I did the 30 day Sugar Detox as I’ve always had an unhealthy relationship with chocolate and got fed up of riding the rollercoaster of sugar highs and lows. I enjoyed picking it up whenever I needed it and there are some great recipes. If anyone is thinking of either loosing a few pounds in the New Year or making healthy lifestyle changes for the better, I feel compelled to recommend this, because it’s helped me and she’s EXCELLENT.”

“Catherine’s How to help Your Kids Live to 100 course is brilliant. I didn’t realise how many quick wins there might be with getting extra nutrients into a pair of pretty fussy kids.
I’d thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who’d like to find out how to make some easy changes to ensure their family meals have more fewer baddies and more goodies.”

“The sixth form common room was buzz with creativity, curiosity and smoothies last friday when we welcomed local nutritionist and health expert, Catherine Jeans, to CNS. Bringing advice on how to create a rainbow plate, scientifically informed expertise and a range of tasty treats Catherine spoke to year 12 sociology students and members of the wellbeing cafe about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet as a means of contributing to successful outcomes.
In addition to delighting the students who had missed breakfast, the session provided a unique reference point from which learners were able to contextualise many of the issues being explored in our health, illness and disability unit.”
Comments from Students “I’ve never tried some of these foods before”” That’s very tasty and easy to make” “What have I learned today?” the need for colour in my diet!”

“Working with Catherine Jeans has been a life changing experience for me… I had made radical changes to my diet and lifestyle, but didn’t know for example that I had very few healthy gut flora in my bowel. Catherine has helped with this and my overall health has improved so much, including my mood and my sleep.
Catherine has a holistic approach. She accesses specific relevant testing with different laboratories and has the knowledge to interpret the results.. she recommends ideas for improving diet, provides recipe ideas (loads!) to support this, plus recommends supplements.
This combination of 1:1 appointments, support on the phone or email, the science and research, but personal individual planning worked for me and I was surprised at my final appointment how many symptoms I no longer experience. Catherine has also helped me approach family eating with my son who has quite rigid eating habits.
I am so grateful to Catherine and would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to make changes to their health. Thank you Catherine.”

“I can fully recommend Catherine and her nutritional therapy consultation package. For me it was an eye opener and life changing!
Catherine takes a very individual approach to someone’s symptoms and not only looks at how to optimise nutrition but also takes into account life style factors. She will look at what is achievable rather than just suggest things that might be difficult to implement. She will advise on tests that might be useful to get to the bottom of a problem and also suggests very targeted nutritional supplements. This is done in an extremely professional and non-biased manner!
Her knowledge is impressive and seems to be endless! (I say this as a doctor myself)
I can honestly say that I feel much better, have more energy, sleep better and enjoy life more!
Thank you Catherine”

“A few months ago I was house-bound, unable to go far in case I needed the toilet. I had been suffering from chronic diarrhea for almost a year and was diagnosed with a bowel condition. I was losing weight, looked dreadful and was desperate to get well. Fortunately for me Catherine had a cancellation, I met with her and have not looked back since! I am no longer house bound, the diarrhea has gone and I am beginning to look and feel better. I will be eternally grateful to Catherine for her help and advice, she really has changed my life. As a side note, Catherine is also a lovely lady!”

“I signed up for the six month nutrition package and my main aim was to lose the 3 stone in weight that I had put on since developing M. E. some 10 years+ ago and that if the course of appointments could also help with the M. E. then it would be an additional bonus. My greatest fear was, that if I always felt hungry then it would not work for me. Well I’m pleased to say, although there were major changes to my diet, I can honestly say I never felt hungry. My wife & I have been married 38 years & although at first my wife found the changes to our menu difficult to cope with, when she had been doing it for a month she found it easier to cope with & with your help she now has no difficulty with meal ideas. I am pleased to report that I am now 13 stones 3 pounds and to date my weight loss total is 2 stones and 5 pounds. My M. E. has also greatly improved with a marked increase in my energy levels. So all in all it’s been a win win situation for me and can honestly say that the package fees have been some of the best money I’ve spent in a very long time.”

“After learning that my cholesterol levels were raised I decided that, rather than take statins as my GP suggested, I would try to reduce the levels through my diet. I approached Catherine and am delighted to report that with her help my cholesterol levels have fallen to an acceptable level.
Catherine is very pleasant, clear and generous with her advice and I have every confidence in her.”

“Catherine came to my therapy school last night to give a short talk on nutrition. It was spot on. About how to boost your energy by eating the right foods, and putting less stress on our bodies. As therapists we often put ourselves last, but need to look after ourselves first! Catherine reminded us of this in a good professional way. She knows her stuff ! Thank you Catherine!”

“I had one session with Catherine and within a week thanks to her advice and help identifying the right food to eat my digestion was wonderfully and has done ever since. It’s given me so much more confidence and control over my life and I’m very grateful to her.”

“Catherine is a fantastic Nutritional Therapist and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Prior to seeing her I had improved my diet myself but my energy levels were low, I felt stressed, my mood was unstable and I suffered from insomnia every month. Catherine suggested some functional tests, a supplement regime and tweaks to my diet. Ten months later my energy levels are greatly improved, my mood is stable and I have been sleeping through each night for the last six months.
My daughter has a dairy intolerance and after seeing Catherine her health has improved drastically, she now has more energy, her headaches and tummy problems have gone and she is a happier, more confident child and feels more in control of her health. Overall seeing Catherine has been a life-changing experience, so thank you, Catherine, so much.”

“Hi my name is Nicola and I have had Fibromyalgia and M.E for around 10 years and I have always struggled with the pain, bloating,sore muscles and my fluctuating weight gain on and off over the years.
I having tried numerous diets from Slimming World to Weight Watchers and none of them being very successful with little or no weight loss at all.
A friend of mine had recommended that I see a lady called Catherine Jeans who has helped her a lot with her problems and had great results.
I was a bit sceptical if Im honest as nothing had worked before so what was it that this magic lady could do??
Well first of all Catherine has been the only person who has helped with my pain and has made me lose 12lb ( nearly a stone !! ) in 8 weeks!!!!!!!
I have cut sugar out of my diet and all white foods, pasta, rice, bread. I also had Costochondritis which is the inflammation of the ribs which was extremely painful.
After doing what Catherine suggested, the pain went within 2 days! I have been following her advice ever since and i shall continue for the rest of my life.
I am extremely grateful to Catherine and The Orange Grove staff for all their help and advice. I am so pleased I took my friends advise in seeing her and would definitely recommend seeing Catherine for whatever reason you may have because this lady really is MAGIC.”

“Catherine provided a fantastic session about food – how we think about it, consume and its content. She was engaging and really helped me to understand about the impact of what we out into our bodies has on our lives’. My staff told me they found the workshop informative and very useful. They were glad of the opportunity to access these sessions during their working day and some have already started making changes to their life having been to the workshop.”

“We both wish to thank you for all of your advice and guidance over the past months…. I am certainly feeling a benefit from the progress we have made so far. One big improvement is a consistent level of energy and a great night’s sleep, I am happy to settle for one trip to the bathroom on the odd night, rather than waking and being alert three or four times a night and not being able to return to sleep. I no longer dread bed time.”

“I have been suffering with digestive issues for as long as I can remember. At the age of 35, I decided that I could finally no longer tolerate the 5 lengthy loo visits a day, the tiredness, the brain fog or the general feeling of living life at 60% capacity, so having no luck with my GP (all tests came back normal) and following a bit of Google research, stumbled upon Catherine.
Catherine identified my problem (largely gut health related), explained it to me in a way that I could fully understand and set me up with a food plan and supplement program (most of which weren’t sold by the Orange Grove I would add, so not just a sales pitch).
It’s two months since that first appointment, the results from which were almost instant. I am much healthier, feel more energised, have a clear head (no more fog) and have much more normal ‘once a day’ trips to the loo. I can’t thank Catherine enough for her help and support and am looking forward to a healthy, happy future.”
