Identify the root drivers behind your symptoms and goals, then follow a clear, personalised plan with structured support as you implement it.
One-to-One Consultations include:
Specialist nutritional therapy for complex health issues
I work with clients dealing with persistent gut symptoms, endometriosis/PCOS, histamine intolerance/MCAS and metabolic imbalance. We identify what’s driving symptoms, then build a clear, personalised plan using precision nutrition, targeted lifestyle changes, and testing where appropriate.
All programmes are bespoke and evidence-based, grounded in measurable outcomes and designed to be practical in real life.
Many people come to me when they’ve tried the “standard advice” route and still feel stuck. Together, we build a personalised programme that targets what’s actually driving your symptoms – not just the surface-level flare-ups.
Nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. Your health history, stress load, sleep, cycle/hormones, gut function, and day-to-day routine all affect what will help. Where applicable, I’ll use functional testing (and genetic insights as an optional layer) to remove guesswork and focus the plan.
My aim is clarity and momentum. You’ll leave with practical steps, measurable goals, and a strategy you can sustain – so you can make confident food choices without second-guessing everything.

Success Stories
< >
Without a doubt, a life-changing experience. I have been working with Lucia since February 2022 as I was diagnosed with Diabetes type 2. 5 months later, I have reverted the Diabetes, and have been able to regulate my glucose levels without insulin or any other medication.Lucia has a wealth of knowledge on how to best tackle a nutritional plan, that works in your favour, and is easy to transition into. Her knowledge of the science behind it helps to understand better step by step on why some foods work in certain way, and how it all works holistically.I fully recommend Lucia's Food Power Nutrition to help you find a healthier life.
Diabetes
Lucia helped me to manage my diabetes by teaching me about different foods that will help me manage glucose levels, but also by finding tasty recipes and foods i would never have known without using Lucia's service. She was easy to talk to, friendly and always took in to consideration my needs and has helped me with my confidence going forward. Would highly recommend contacting Lucia for nutrition advice and plans. Thank you ! :)
Glucose management
I came to Lucia because I suffer with eczema and I wanted to understand how food could help me manage my skin condition. From the start she was very helpful and extremely attentive to my needs, and drafted a programme that would work with my habits and taste. I really appreciated how supportive she was in following my journey, it showed she genuinely cares for her patients wellbeing and is passionate about making a positive difference in their life.
Eczema
Lucia was a quintessential part of my journey throughout my second pregnancy. Having suffered with gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy it was my primary goal to avoid this happening again. Lucia went into real depth listening to mine and my family’s health history, analysing my diet and gave me an easy to follow nutritional and supplement plan. I was so incredibly happy that my Glucose Tolerance Test came back negative and I could continue with a healthy pregnancy. I could not recommend her highly enough.
Gestational Diabetes
I had been suffering with histamine intolerance for 2 years after taking antibiotics. I cut out so many foods, that, at one point I was only eating boiled chicken, carrots, green beans and rice; I spent so much money on different supplements and still I was not getting better.I was so desperate, I was not getting any help from the NHS.This left me so frustrated and depressed and I was now accepting that, I would never get better and would live on antihistamines for the rest of my life. I began to look for a certified nutritional therapist and I am so glad Lucia got in touch with me. I no longer take antihistamines. Her diet plan, and supplement recommendation has helped me and now, I have been able to reintroduce some healthy foods back into my diet. Lucia, has been very supportive throughout and would check on me to see how I was doing, which shows how much she genuinely cares about her patients.I can never thank her enough; I am no longer afraid to eat. I highly recommend her.
Histamine Intolerance
I was looking for a certified nutritional therapist in London and got in touch with Lucia a few months after giving birth. I was breastfeeding my baby, experiencing hormonal unbalances and my thyroid levels were all over the place. Lucia helped me to get through that amazing but challenging time with an easy-to-follow food plan that allowed me to feel energized and healthy. It was simple but extremely effective and realistic for me as a first time mom! She gave me so many alternatives and suggestions! Also…I got back my body!!! I strongly recommend Lucia: she is very professional, knowledgeable, supportive and extremely friendly at the same time!
Hormonal Imbalance
Lucia inspired confidence in me from the moment I met her on zoom. She asked very thorough questions and is an excellent listener. I found her knowledgeable, empathic and she understood the challenges of making lots of making lots of changes at once so encouraged me to set realistic goals. Lucia recommended a particular supplement along with dietary changes which have really worked to improve the joint issue I was experiencing. I like her philosophy and is such a pleasure to connect with her; I highly recommend her!
Personalised Diet
Lucia is a friendly nutritionist who is considerate of your personal dietary preferences. Working with her is really easy. The advice is clear. Lucia provides you with all the options you need to start including recipes and where to buy all the products. Since adding supplements after the appointment, I feel more energetic and have better understanding of what I need for better nutrition
Fatigue
NO MORE SYMPTOMS! Nutritional Therapist Lucia Stansbie has been friendly, helpful, encouraging and reliable - but, more than that, her in-depth knowledge of nutrition has also helped me to shed symptoms I had been struggling with for years, and this has proved sustainable too. Not only do I now feel very well and energetic in myself, but Lucia also provides prompt and concise answers to any questions sent to her in between sessions, which has kept me right on track. To my great relief, food has remained the adventure I have enjoyed all my life since this therapist's advice has generally been about adding new items and fine tuning the diet - which also makes it easier to leave the odd thing out where necessary. Thank you, you have made a real difference!
Personalised Diet
Lucia is very knowledgeable and understanding - the sessions with her were very insightful. I finally manage to change my bad eating habits replacing them with healthier ones without feeling deprived or “on diet” and feeling supported at every step! I highly recommend her.
Personalised Diet
I cannot recommend Lucia highly enough. She has truly helped me optimise my diet and I have seen a marked improvement in my digestion, energy levels and quality of sleep. To top it off she is a pleasure to spend time with.
Personalised Diet
Lucia is professional, friendly and if I dare say a case 'of finding the right person' I'm getting back into boxing and my protein intake has changed. Lucia is helping to get back in the ring. (Seriously- good diet adaption)

For decades, nutrition advice has been built around population averages: recommended daily intakes, standard dietary guidelines and broad lifestyle recommendations designed to suit most people. While these guidelines are useful, they often fall short when individuals experience persistent symptoms, conflicting responses to food, or limited results despite doing “everything right”. This is where genetic testing…
If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms like fatigue, flushing, bloating, rashes, anxiety, or food reactions, you may have come across MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and histamine intolerance. These two conditions can look almost identical on the surface — yet their underlying causes are quite different. Understanding this distinction is key to finding the right…
As an Italian nutritionist, I often hear the same questions: “Is pasta bad for me?”, “Why does pasta make me bloated?”, or “Should I avoid gluten completely?”. Pasta has been unfairly demonized in recent years, but the truth is simple: pasta, in moderation, is not harmful. The key lies in choosing the right type. Understanding…
This crisp, Spanish-style flatbread delivers a bright burst of freshness with every bite – it is something I grew up eating when in Mallorca, and something I can’t wait to enjoy when I travel back to my beloved island. The vegetable “trampó” , AKA pepper, tomato and onion salad, topping is rich in vitamin C,…
This revamped Courgette & Bean “Bean-otto” strikes the perfect balance between comfort and nourishment. Buckwheat introduces a gluten-free, protein-rich base, delivering complex carbohydrates, fibre, and essential minerals like magnesium. Combined with beans, you’re getting a powerful plant-based protein boost that’s also rich in gut-friendly fibre. The courgette and garlic bring along vitamins C and antioxidant…
Ozempic and similar medications—often called weight loss jabs—are gaining popularity for rapid results. These drugs, part of a class called GLP‑1 receptor agonists, were originally designed for type 2 diabetes. But as they became known for helping people shed significant weight, they’ve sparked a new wave of interest from non-diabetics eager to slim down. However,…
If you’ve ever typed “how can I lose weight?” or “best diet to lose weight” into a search engine, you’ve likely come across countless answers—some helpful, some downright confusing or wrong. As a qualified nutritionist, I want to help cut through the noise by addressing common food and weight loss myths that may be holding…
One question I often get asked is, “Can I use Zoe?” or “What do you think about Zoe?” While I believe that Zoe has done a great job raising awareness about the importance of gut health and how nutrition can be transformative to health, I also believe there are many flaws. One of the first…
When it comes to setting the tone for the day, a protein-rich breakfast can make all the difference. Starting your morning with enough protein doesn’t just keep you full longer — it also plays a critical role in stabilizing blood sugar levels, supporting energy, mood, and even weight management. Skipping protein at breakfast or choosing…
FAQ
It’s only natural to have lots of questions before you consider any type of holistic therapy. Here’s some answers to the questions I’m asked most about my clinic that you may find helpful. However, if you can’t find your question below, feel free to drop me a line:
What’s the difference between a nutritional therapist, nutrition coach and nutritionist?
In the UK, these titles can mean different things — and they’re not all regulated in the same way.
Nutritional therapist: Typically trained to work 1:1 using nutrition and lifestyle to support health and wellbeing, often in a more clinical, root-cause style. Many practitioners choose to be BANT members and CNHC registered, which adds professional standards and accountability.
Nutritionist: The title “nutritionist” isn’t legally protected in the UK so that anyone can use it. However, people on the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN) through the Association for Nutrition can use titles such as Registered Nutritionist (RNutr).
Nutrition coach: Often focused on habits, motivation and accountability. “Coach” isn’t a protected title, so training and scope can vary widely.
If you’re choosing someone, check their qualifications, professional registration, and whether their scope aligns with your needs. (For completeness: “dietitian” is a protected title regulated by the HCPC.)
What is mBANT?
BANT (British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) is a professional organisation for Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners and Registered Dietitians which are trained and qualified in clinical practice to meet national standards and work in a one-to-one setting.
BANT practitioner members are required to be registered either with Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or be statutorily regulated. CNHC holds a register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA), an independent body accountable to the UK Parliament. BANT members are also required to meet Continuing Professional Development (CPD) standards.
Being a BANT member highlights the high standard of my training and work practice, reassuring clients of the quality of the consultations and plans I provide at Food Power Nutrition.
What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Nutritional therapy practitioners use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health. Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine. It is relevant both for individuals looking to enhance their health and wellbeing and for those with chronic conditions wishing to work with or ‘consult’ a nutritional therapist in collaboration with other suitably qualified healthcare professionals. Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.
What should I expect to achieve working together?
You can expect a personalised, practical plan tailored to your symptoms, history, and goals, with clear priorities and measurable steps. Results vary from person to person, but progress is most substantial when you implement the recommendations consistently, attend follow-up sessions where relevant, and use supplements/testing only where appropriate.
We’ll discuss realistic expectations and goals during your discovery call so you know exactly what we’re aiming for and how we’ll measure progress.
Does Food Power Nutrition operate only online?
No. I offer online consultations via Practice Better (telehealth/Zoom), which you can access through your client portal.
In-person initial consultations are available on Wednesday afternoons at Angel Gyms, 48 Provost St, London N1 7SU. All follow-up sessions are held online.

Please feel free to ask for information via the contact form, specifying if you wish to be contacted via email or via phone. I am happy to offer a free discovery call to discuss your current health concerns and explore how we can work together.
