Nutritional therapy in Crook.
Crook may be a fair drive from Washington, but distance does not matter here. Janet Ewens posts home health tests to your door and gives one-to-one nutrition support online, wherever you are in the Wear Valley.
Where the hills begin.
Crook sits where the Durham coalfield gives way to the dales, with the big open market place at its heart and the road to Weardale heading off to the west. Climb out of town to Billy Row, Stanley Crook or Sunniside and the views open up for miles. It is a proud, self-reliant town that has long served the farms and villages around it.
Being a little out of the way has its costs. Specialist help often means a trip to Durham or Bishop Auckland, and it is tempting to leave a nagging problem alone. If you have been living with bloating, aching joints, poor sleep or flat energy, Janet offers a way to look into it that asks very little of your time.
Babylon Health Hub is Janet’s practice in Washington, around sixteen miles north east of Crook. She will not ask you to come to her. A free 30-minute call opens things up, tests are completed at home and posted, and your results consultation is held online.

Where Janet can help.
Hill walking and hard-working joints
Nobody in Crook is ever far from a steep bank, and keen walkers think nothing of heading up Dowfold Hill or out towards Tow Law before breakfast. Hills are wonderful for fitness and demanding on knees and ankles. With the Omega Balance Test, a finger prick at home shows your omega 6 to 3 ratio and an inflammation marker, which Janet can relate to what you are eating.

Guessing which foods disagree with you is slow and frustrating, and cutting out whole food groups on a hunch can leave your diet poorer. The Sensitivity and Intolerance Test offers a more organised approach. One hair sample is checked against over 1,200 items, and you have a full hour with Janet to decide what is worth trying first. Please note that it does not test for allergies.
About the sensitivity testA long winter at the edge of the dales
Snow tends to reach Crook and its hilltop villages before it reaches the coast, and the dark months can feel very long. Low winter sunlight means the body has less chance to make vitamin D, which is why some people like to check their level. Janet’s Vitamin D Test is a home finger prick costing £65, and the consultation afterwards covers sensible next steps.

A private consultation is £55, the 4-week Personalised Wellness Protocol is £149, and the 12-week whole family programme is £649.
Crook questions.
Does it matter that I live out in one of the villages?
Not in the slightest. Kits are posted to Billy Row, Roddymoor, Howden-le-Wear, Sunniside and anywhere else with a letterbox, and consultations are online.
What kind of sample does each test need?
The Sensitivity and Intolerance Test uses a small hair sample. The omega, vitamin D and blood sugar tests each use a finger prick.
Will Janet tell me to stop eating lots of foods?
That is not her style. She favours small, steady, realistic changes and will help you prioritise rather than overhaul everything at once.
How do I pay for only what I need?
Start with the free 30-minute call and let Janet suggest one thing. Tests are priced individually at £130, or £65 for vitamin D, so there is no package you have to buy.
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.
