About me

Helen Phadnis is a highly experienced UK Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of clinical and private practice experience. She works with adults both in person and online, helping them make sense of nutrition and achieve realistic, lasting results through practical, evidence-based advice.

Helen spent 12 years working in the NHS, including at leading teaching hospitals such as Barts and The London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. She has also worked internationally at Counties Manukau in New Zealand. This broad clinical background underpins her practical and highly personalised approach to nutrition.

Helen specialises in:

• Sustainable weight management
• Gut health and IBS
• Sports nutrition and performance
• Nutrigenomics and DNA-based personalised nutrition

She runs a private practice in Brighton and Hove, seeing clients at Brighton Therapy Rooms and Spire Montefiore Hospital, as well as offering online consultations for clients across the UK and internationally.

Helen is particularly known for helping people who feel confused or frustrated by conflicting nutrition advice. Her approach focuses on understanding the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan, taking into account dietary habits, lifestyle, symptoms, goals and, where appropriate, genetic information.

For clients who would like an additional level of personalisation, Helen offers nutrigenomic testing. This simple DNA test can provide insight into areas such as nutrient needs, metabolism, appetite, food sensitivities and response to exercise, allowing nutrition and lifestyle advice to be tailored more closely to the individual.

Alongside her clinical work, Helen is involved in sports nutrition education, supporting university sports scholars and helping athletes optimise nutrition for health, training and performance.

Outside of work, Helen enjoys sea swimming, running and cycling along the Brighton coast and has a keen interest in good food and healthy eating.
