Nutritional therapy in Blaydon.
Blaydon is known the world over for a song about a race. Janet Ewens, nine miles away in Washington, helps local people with the less glamorous side of health: digestion, energy, aches and blood sugar.
Good health at your own pace.
Every June runners follow the route of the old song from Newcastle along the Scotswood Road to Blaydon, and for one evening the whole town turns out. The rest of the year Blaydon gets on with ordinary life beside the Tyne, with Winlaton up the bank, Stella along the river and the A1 a few minutes away.
Ordinary life is where health is won or lost. It is the breakfast skipped before the train, the biscuits that see you through the afternoon and the tea eaten late after the school run. Janet does not ask anyone to live like a monk. She helps you find the two or three things that would make the most difference to you.
Her starting point is evidence. A sample taken at home goes to a lab, and the results give you both something solid to talk about. Before any of that there is a free 30-minute call, so you can ask questions and decide whether a test is worth it for you.

Where Janet can help.
Training for the Blaydon Race
If you are one of the thousands who pound the road to Blaydon on the ninth of June, or you simply jog round Shibdon Pond, recovery matters as much as mileage. The Omega Balance Test measures 11 fatty acids and your omega 6 to 3 ratio from a finger prick, with a marker of inflammation. Janet’s nutrition advice can then help you think about what goes on your plate between runs.

Type 2 diabetes tends to arrive slowly, and many people would rather know where they stand while there is time to act. The Blood Sugar (HbA1c) Test is done with a finger prick at home in Blaydon and costs £130. It reflects your blood sugar over the longer term and comes with a lifestyle assessment and a risk score. It does not diagnose anything, so share the result with your GP.

Blaydon questions.
I am training for the Blaydon Race. Can Janet help?
Janet can look at your eating habits and, if it is useful, your omega balance. She is a nutritional therapist and not a running coach, so her focus is food and energy.
Where is Janet based?
In Washington, about nine miles south east of Blaydon. You do not need to visit, as tests are posted and consultations are booked online.
How is the blood sugar sample taken?
With a finger prick, at home. You post the sample to the lab and Janet goes through the result with you afterwards.
What are the prices?
The Omega Balance, Blood Sugar and Sensitivity and Intolerance tests are £130 each and the Vitamin D Test is £65, all including a results consultation. The first call is free.
Babylon Health Hub offers complementary health support. Tests are not a medical diagnosis and do not replace advice from your GP. Please speak to your doctor about any medical condition or before starting supplements.
