Nutritional therapy in Consett.
Consett rebuilt itself after the steelworks closed, and it knows a thing or two about starting again. Janet Ewens, thirteen miles away in Washington, helps local people do the same with their health, one small change at a time.
A fresh start, one step at a time.
For well over a century Consett meant steel, and when the works shut in 1980 the town lost its main employer. What grew back is a busy place of new housing, retail parks and smaller firms, set nearly 900 feet up on the edge of the North Pennines with Blackhill, Shotley Bridge, Leadgate and Delves Lane around it.
That height brings big skies, sharp air and winters that the rest of the county only hears about. It also brings wonderful walking and cycling, from the Hownsgill Viaduct to the Derwent Walk and the Derwent Reservoir a few miles to the west. Consett people are hardy, but hardy is not the same as well.
If your energy, digestion or joints are not what they were, Janet can help you look into it properly. Her rule is test, don’t guess. You start with a free 30-minute call, any test is done at home, and the changes she suggests are sized to fit a real working week.

Workshops for Consett employers
The old steelworks site and the industrial estates around it now hold a wide mix of employers, and a team that eats and sleeps well tends to cope better with a demanding week. Janet’s corporate wellness workshops give staff down to earth ideas about food, energy and looking after themselves. Tell her about your workplace and what your people struggle with, and she will suggest what a session could cover.
Corporate workshopsSunshine is scarce at 900 feet
Consett gets its share of bright days, but for much of the year they are cold ones, spent in a coat and hat. Skin that stays covered has little chance to make vitamin D. For £65 the Vitamin D Test shows your current level from a finger prick taken at home, and the consultation that comes with it helps you decide, with your GP where needed, what to do next.

Consett is where C2C riders choose between the Sunderland and Tynemouth finishes, and locals have the Waskerley Way and the Derwent Walk for everyday miles. All that climbing asks a lot of joints and muscles. The Omega Balance Test reports on 11 fatty acids, your omega 6 to 3 ratio and an inflammation marker, and Janet’s nutrition advice helps you think about what to do with the result.

A private consultation is £55, the 4-week Personalised Wellness Protocol is £149, and the 12-week whole family programme is £649.
