About Genna

My work sits at the intersection of science, physiology and lived experience.

Before retraining in nutritional therapy, I spent over two decades in corporate environments where performance, productivity and coping were quietly rewarded, often at the expense of wellbeing. Like many women, I learned how to function highly while slowly losing touch with what was happening underneath.

That experience shaped everything that followed.

I trained as a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Edinburgh, where I developed a strong grounding in evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle medicine and systems biology. Over time, it became clear that symptoms rarely exist in isolation. What looks like a collection of separate problems can make considerably more sense when physiology, hormones, nervous system adaptation, nutrition, genetics and life context are considered together.

Since 2016, I’ve worked privately with women navigating complex health changes, exhaustion, hormonal shifts and periods when their body no longer seems to respond in the way it once did. My work is investigative and interpretive: looking across symptoms, health history, nutrition, testing and physiology to identify the patterns running through them and understand what may actually matter.

This led me to integrate nutrigenomics into my clinical work, adding another layer through which to understand individual differences in areas such as nutrient metabolism, hormone pathways and nervous system function.

Alongside clinical practice, I speak at events, contribute to podcasts and write about women’s health, hormones, nervous system adaptation and nutrigenomics.

I co-authored The Me I Didn’t See (2024), a book exploring personal transformation and resilience, and I write science-backed educational content for supplement and health brands.

My own experience still informs the questions I’m interested in: what happens when a highly capable body stops compensating in the way it once did, why certain patterns emerge during our thirties and forties, and what becomes visible when we stop looking at each symptom as a separate problem.

I also write more personally about these themes, and the process of undoing that can accompany themon Substack at The Undoing.

If you’d like me to look at your own health picture, you can explore working together.
