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!
Fatigue
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!
Fatigue
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance I have received from Lucia in managing my PCOS through nutritional therapy. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Lucia is not only knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about helping individuals like me achieve optimal health through a personalized and holistic approach.
PCOS
Lucia took the time to thoroughly understand my unique health challenges, lifestyle, and dietary habits. The personalized nutrition plan provided was not just a set of generic guidelines but a tailored roadmap that made sense for me. The emphasis on whole foods, balanced nutrition, and specific supplements was not only effective but also sustainable in the long run.
Diet
I am thrilled to share that, thanks to Lucia's expertise, I have seen significant improvements in managing my PCOS symptoms. From hormonal balance to increased energy levels, the positive impact on my overall well-being has been truly transformative. But perhaps the most remarkable change has been the restoration of my sense of happiness and confidence.
PCOS
Living with the challenges of SIBO and IBS had become a daily struggle, impacting not only my digestive system but also affecting my overall quality of life. Lucia demonstrated a deep understanding of these complex issues right from the beginning, and her holistic approach to nutrition and wellness stood out as a beacon of hope.
Gut Health
I wholeheartedly recommend Lucia to anyone seeking personalized and compassionate support in balancing gut health with a vegan diet. Her expertise, tailored approach, and unwavering encouragement make her an invaluable ally on the path to digestive wellness. Thank you, Lucia, for empowering me to not only prioritize my gut health but also celebrate the joys of a vegan lifestyle.
Gut Health Vegan Diet
Living with the uncertainty of prediabetes can be overwhelming, but from the outset, Lucia provided a sense of reassurance and understanding that was truly comforting. What sets Lucia apart is her personalized approach; she took the time to comprehend my individual needs, lifestyle, and concerns, crafting a nutrition plan that was both realistic and tailored to my specific circumstances.
Pre Diabetes
Facing a diabetes diagnosis at 30 was a shock, but finding Lucia was a game-changer. Her support has been nothing short of incredible. The personalized nutrition plan not only made sense for my lifestyle but also eased the overwhelming surprise of the diagnosis. Lucia explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, offering valuable insights into managing diabetes through nutrition. The ongoing encouragement and thoughtful guidance have been vital in making positive changes. If you're navigating diabetes and need compassionate, tailored support, Lucia is the go-to expert. Highly recommend.

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 understandable to have questions when considering any type of holistic therapy. Below are some of the key questions I get asked about nutritional therapy and my clinic.
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 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 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.
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.
How long will it take to see results?
It varies. Some people notice changes within a few weeks after implementing the key recommendations, while deeper, longer-term issues can take longer to shift. Your timeline depends on your starting point, what we’re addressing, and how consistently you can follow the plan.
My focus is sustainable, long-term improvement — not quick fixes — and we’ll agree on realistic expectations as part of your assessment.
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.
What should I do if I have questions between appointments?
You can contact me by email at lucia@foodpowernutrition.com or via the Practice Better chat for support between sessions.
I aim to reply within one working day. Please note my working hours are 9 am–6 pm, Monday to Friday, so messages sent outside these times may be answered the next working day.
How can I get in touch for more information about packages and costs?
If you’d like to talk it through first, you can book a free discovery call to discuss your health concerns, the most suitable service, and costs. 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.
