Dr Kirstie Lawton PhD is a highly qualified and experienced CNHC registered nutritional therapy practitioner and a BANT and AfN registered nutritionist. She has a PhD and a BSc Hons in Nutrition from Queen Margaret University, a DipION in Nutritional Therapy, a PGCE in Higher Education from the University of London and is currently completing a Master’s degree in Neuroscience and Neurodegeneration at the University of Sheffield.
Her passion for brain health originates from her own childhood experience with undiagnosed neurological issues that were resolved through diet and lifestyle interventions. For the first two decades of her career, she specialised in paediatric, adolescent, and young adult health, with a strong focus on the gut–brain axis, neurodivergence, and nutritional psychiatry. Following a shift in focus to Motor Neuron Disease (MND)/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), she is now the Director of the UK’s largest functional neurodegenerative health clinic, with multiple practitioners specialising in conditions such as MND/ALS, Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia, Brain Injury, Spine injury and Stroke. The clinic still maintains a paediatric focus, and offers both clinical support and practitioner and parent education.
In addition to her clinical work, she has held several academic and advisory positions. She was instrumental in the establishment of the ION Graduate Diploma, and has lectured at ION, BCNH (University of Northampton), and the University of Worcester. She continues to offer adjunct lecturing in Children’s Health and neuro health to institutes, practitioners and the public. Dr Lawton also sits on the editorial board for the Nutritional Medicine Institute and Journal, advises Parkinson’s Guernsey, and is a member of the Medical Committee for Healing ALS.
