About Amanda

"Amanda’s approach is pragmatic and balanced – just like the diets she recommends.  She is not evangelical, there is no attempt to convince us or convert us, rather she is simply sharing with us what she has learned, empowering us with the information we need to make up our own minds, and offering us the tools we need to apply this approach to our lives should we wish to do so.  She is an inquisitive, rigorous healthcare practitioner with a clear understanding of the real world and the challenges we all face in our daily lives."

 - Dr. Jonty Heaversedge
