YOUR HEALING STARTS HERE.
We identify and address the root causes of health issues using lab testing and functional nutrition.
YOUR QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE ENDS HERE
Relief is within reach
Many people have experienced the frustration of temporary fixes – another prescription or restrictive diet that created new problems. Perhaps you’ve heard your symptoms were imaginary or dismissed because test results appeared normal. Real healing happens when we address the underlying causes of your health issues. This is Intuitive Nutrition’s approach – identifying root causes so you can reclaim your life.
About Philippa Bramwell-Jones
Philippa Bramwell-Jones Dietitian and Functional Medicine Health Coach, BSc (UKZN) | BSc Med Hons (UCT) Dietetics and Nutrition
As the Founder of Intuitive Nutrition, Philippa believes that Nutritional Counselling is more than just telling you what and what not to eat. It is about finding out how you, as a unique individual, function and operate in today’s world and how your food and life-style choices may optimise that.
Philippa studied Functional Medicine Health Coaching with the FMCA (USA) in 2018 and is a certified Health Coach as well as having 20 years experience as a practicing dietitian. She has much experience in Behaviour Change and believes she is not the ‘dictator of what you eat’ but rather your ‘guide’ in figuring out what works best for you.
Philippa specialises in gut health, the impact of stress and adrenal health on physiology and biochemistry, ‘sticky’ weight and Insulin Resistance and a special interest in Behaviour Change. She is well-versed in many dietary protocols in including Intermittent Fasting, the Ketogenic Diet, Banting and many more.
Philippa operates on a Functional Perspective – looking for the root cause of illness rather than focussing on only treating presenting symptoms.
Why Intuitive Nutrition? Intuitive Eating is not a diet. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. It’s about re-learning to eat outside of the diet mentality, putting the focus on your internal cues (aka your intuition) like hunger, fullness and satisfaction, and moving away from external cues like food rules and restrictions.
How We Work Together
1. Comprehensive Initial Intake
First, submit a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your history and symptoms. I’ll analyze it to identify potential imbalances before our 75-minute consultation where we’ll establish your action plan for testing, nutrition, supplements and lifestyle.
2. Advanced LAB Testing
Following your consultation, we’ll order tailored labs for deeper insight. During follow-ups, we’ll analyze results, identify root causes, and create personalized recommendations. Testing may include comprehensive bloodwork, gut assessments (GI MAP/SIBO), hormone panels (DUTCH), organic acids, micronutrient analysis, and environmental toxin screening.
3. Personalized Plan
Throughout our partnership, you’ll discover enjoyable, sustainable eating tailored to your body through collaborative meal planning. We’ll develop personalized supplement protocols based on clinical assessment, symptoms, and lab results. Additionally, we’ll implement targeted lifestyle strategies—potentially including exercise recommendations, sleep optimization, and personal care product guidance—to comprehensively address your concerns.
4. Concierge Support
We conduct 30-minute follow-ups for lab review, plan adjustments, and ongoing education. Our priority is ensuring you feel heard and supported. You’ll have access to private messaging with responses within a few business hours.
