Panayiota Sutcliffe
BSc (Nutritional Medicine), MBANT, MFNTP
Qualified Nutritionist
“I believe nutrition should have a practical purpose. If advice doesn’t fit into real life, it’s unlikely to be sustainable. My approach is centred on making nutrition simple, supportive, and achievable, helping you make meaningful changes that work for your lifestyle.”
My interest in nutrition began in my teenage years when I experienced significant digestive health challenges. In my twenties, during my first pregnancy, these issues worsened, and I was told my health would likely prevent me from carrying another pregnancy. Determined to improve my health, I explored nutritional approaches and made significant dietary changes. I subsequently went on to have four more children, reinforcing my belief in the role of nutrition as part of a holistic approach to health and inspiring a lifelong passion for understanding the relationship between nutrition and wellbeing.
My professional training began more than 20 years before I completed my BSc in Nutritional Medicine in 2010. At a time when formal qualifications in Nutritional Medicine were limited, I balanced raising a young family with running a health food shop and delivering nutritional talks to local Women’s Institutes and other community organisations. During this time, I completed a Certificate and Diploma in Nutritional Medicine with Dr Lawrence Plaskett, a biochemist, naturopath, and iridologist, before going on to earn a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Nutritional Medicine from Thames Valley University, one of the first degree programmes of its kind in the UK.
Today, I run a part-time practice based in Milton Keynes, supporting clients with a wide range of health concerns. I am committed to ongoing professional development through conferences, webinars, and advanced training in nutritional therapy, ensuring my practice remains evidence-based and aligned with current scientific research.
I am a member of the Federation of Nutritional Therapists (FNTD), the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists, and the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). These memberships reflect my commitment to maintaining professional standards and delivering safe, ethical, and high-quality nutritional support.
My goal is to help you navigate nutrition with confidence by providing practical, realistic, and personalised guidance that empowers you to make lasting changes for better health.
