Bethany Hughes

Holistic Naturopathic Nutritionist

About

Bethany is a Naturopathic Nutritionist who approaches health through food as medicine, using targeted dietary and lifestyle interventions to restore balance to bodily systems. She employs diagnostic testing to identify root causes of symptoms, recognising that no two clients have the same history, and therefore no two treatment programmes are the same.

Her methodology focuses on treating the person, not their symptoms or conditions, through understanding each client's central nervous system and gut health. She believes that understanding one's body and environment is key to healing, drawing from her own transformative health journey to guide others. She prioritises a holistic approach, empowering clients to understand their bodies and environment as pathways to healing both chronic and acute conditions.

Why I Joined Aeva

“I believe Aeva's vision perfectly aligns with my mission - empowering women to take control of their health through gentle, natural approaches. Like Aeva, I'm committed to supporting women with evidence-based, non-invasive solutions that work in harmony with their bodies, helping them nurture their wellbeing for lasting results.”

My Approach

We start with an initial consultation lasting 60-90 minutes where a full history is taken, both medical and personal. Depending on the symptoms we can then use functional diagnostic testing to identify underlying causes of conditions, whether it is genetic, metabolic or nutritional. I then put together a full diet and lifestyle plan, often including therapeutic grade supplements and work with you on a one-to-one basis over a number of weeks to monitor progress and support you through making the necessary changes to support you in achieving your health goals.

Why Bethany Hughes is an Aeva Expert

Testimonials

"Working with Beth was an absolute game-changer in my journey to completing an Ironman. Her personalized guidance and deep nutritional knowledge helped me establish positive eating habits that not only fueled my training but also resulted in better mental energy levels. Beth's holistic approach prioritized nourishment over calorie restrictions, ensuring consistent energy levels during intense sessions. Thanks to her support, I not only achieved my fitness goals but also maintained a healthier lifestyle. I wholeheartedly recommend Beth as an exceptional dietitian and a true partner in any nutritional journey; five stars are an understatement for the profound impact she's had on my success."

"I sought out Beth’s help in June 2023 as a last resort before starting HRT due to the belief that I was suffering from chronic perimenopausal symptoms. Beth’s assessment was thorough and detailed, leading her to diagnose that my ailments were not in fact perimenopause related but down to oestrogen dominance caused by consistent stress and a diary intolerance. With simple dietary and lifestyle changes, Beth has transformed the way I feel both physically and mentally all from balancing my gut biome and helping me see how my eating patterns were not benefitting my health. In the last six months, my sleep has improved, my feelings of anxiety have gone, my skin is clear and my confidence is through the roof. I’ve lost almost 2 stone in weight without counting any calories and I feel in control of my eating in way I don’t think I ever have before. I’ve recommended Beth to many people already and will continue to do so. She’s brilliant and her support and kindness have been invaluable."

Maggie, 43: Reclaiming Herself Through Perimenopause

The Struggle

Five to seven years of hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, and suspected perimenopause symptoms including brain fog, heavy bleeding, and weight gain. Maggie felt like she was losing part of herself, unable to function mentally as she once did, stressed by the unfamiliar state, with no patience and easily triggered or irritated.

Previous Attempts

Dieting, HIIT, running, and cardio exercise. Despite her efforts, symptoms persisted and she felt increasingly disconnected from herself.

Approach

A deep dive into Maggie's medical history, examining symptoms throughout adult life, childhood experiences, medication use, and how all her systems were functioning. Blood tests assessed key markers, and a DUTCH test evaluated hormonal and adrenal function. Though convinced she was perimenopausal, Maggie wasn't eligible for HRT due to her medical history, so the focus was on addressing the root cause of her hormonal imbalances affecting mood, weight, and perimenopausal symptoms.

The Timeline

2 weeks: More energy, anxiety and brain fog disappeared, felt more in control of emotions
2 months: Periods lighter, PMS symptoms manageable
3 months: Lost over 2 stone in body fat
6 months: Lifestyle and nutrition status completely transformed, no food cravings, no desire to return to old habits

Current Status

Maggie lives virtually symptom-free compared to where she was when she started. She notices the difference if her diet slips and easily gets back on track. Her weight is stable and she can lose weight more easily when needed.

Philippa, 57: Reclaiming Life After Thyroid Cancer

The Struggle

Ten years of declining wellbeing, worsened after thyroid cancer. Philippa battled brain fog, low energy, no motivation, insomnia, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable weight gain fuelled by emotional eating. Despite being on levothyroxine for an underactive thyroid, her symptoms persisted and she felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety and food addiction.

Previous Attempts

Various diets and levothyroxine for underactive thyroid. Nothing addressed the root emotional and physiological patterns driving her symptoms.

Approach

Understanding Philippa meant looking for the root cause of her anxiety and emotional eating. Work focused on her perception of herself, her values, and what was fuelling the food addiction. Standard blood tests assessed thyroid function after cancer remission, alongside a holistic analysis of her other systems to understand underlying dysfunction. Weekly meetings provided the reassurance and emotional support that proved key to her transformation.

The Timeline

2 weeks: Able to control eating patterns, lost 2 inches from around her waist
1 month: Lost 13lb in body fat, enthusiastic and loving life, happier than she'd been in years
3 months: Continued steady weight loss until plateauing at her pre-marriage weight from 30 years earlier, exercising regularly, eating well, no issues with emotional eating despite personal difficulties
6 months: Sustained results

Current Status

Philippa lives symptom-free, enjoying life with energy and motivation. She's able to manage daily stress and has maintained her results long-term, feeling like herself again after years of struggle.
