Health & Nutrition Club
for people with ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia
Who are we?
We are a nutritionist led service, set up in 2023, to communicate health science and evidence -based nutrition & lifestyle support to people like you, people with ME/CFS, Long Covid or Fibromyalgia, to help you better understand your condition and manage your symptoms. We are a community interest company (CIC) and we receive money from the National Lottery Community Fund to provide you with a range of free services.
How we can help you
We understand that people with your conditions often feel alone and abandoned, with little help on offer from the medical profession. We also know that you spend a lot of time dredging though the internet to try and find information that can help you to help yourself. There is a lot of research being done into the fields of ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia but it can take years for any of that new knowledge to make it into the mainstream.
We aim to dig deep into that research, determine what is useful to you now, and present it in a practical and useful way. We focus specifically on the research into nutritional and lifestyle approaches that can help to alleviate symptoms, improve your general health and help you to have a better quality of life. We don't promote fad diets or promise any 'miracle cures', We just bring you the best evidence to date for nutritional and lifestyle approaches that can help.

About our webinars and blogs
Previous topics have included: understanding how your body produces energy, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, managing PEM, balancing blood sugars, improving metabolic health, improving pain, looking after your gut health, dealing with SIBO, managing histamine intolerance or MCAS and much more. All our webinars start with a simple explanation of the science and the current state of research on the subject and then move on to explain simple dietary and lifestyle changes you can make to help you manage these conditions better. Our webinars are recorded and available to signed up members.
Our blog posts pick up on the same topics to both summarise the webinars and also to expand on more knowledge, tips and practical advice around each topic. We aim to be a comprehensive resource to help you navigate the complexities of your condition and find solutions to some of the problems you face. Our blog posts are available to everyone.
