Helen Ritchie
Background & Bio Details
Helen Ritchie specialises in supporting adults who want to protect their brain health and prevent cognitive decline. She also helps them improve their mental well-being through personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
Many of her clients come to her experiencing low mood, stress, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, or fatigue. Some also notice early signs of memory loss and wonder if there’s more they can do. They often want to support their mental resilience and long-term cognitive function.
In addition, she works with those affected by chronic conditions that impact brain health. These include high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic dysfunction. Her approach is holistic and evidence-based. She aims to identify and address the underlying biochemical and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to poor mental well-being or cognitive decline.
Every client journey begins with a detailed assessment of their medical history and a three-day food and lifestyle diary. It also includes a review of physical, emotional, and environmental influences. From there, Helen co-creates a practical, personalised plan. This plan fits each client’s lifestyle, preferences, and long-term goals.
Nutritional Therapy is a complementary healthcare approach. Therefore, Helen regularly works alongside GPs, consultants, and other healthcare professionals to support overall health and wellbeing.
Helen is a graduate of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. She also works part-time in the NHS on the National Diabetes Prevention Programme.
