Nutritional therapy in Durham.
Home health tests and personal nutrition guidance for Durham City and the surrounding villages, from Janet Ewens, just up the A1(M) in Washington.
From the cathedral city to the villages.
Durham is a city of contrasts: students and university staff, families in the old mining villages, and commuters heading up and down the A1(M) every day. Whatever your routine, stress, poor sleep and irregular meals have a way of catching up with you.
Janet’s practice is built on a simple idea: test, take action, then test again. Your test is done at home and analysed by an accredited lab, and Janet helps you understand the results and decide on sensible next steps.
Whether you live in the city, Framwellgate Moor, Belmont, Bowburn or Brandon, you can start with a free 30-minute call with Janet, who is based nearby in Washington.

Where Janet can help.
Study, stress and sleep
Deadlines, marking, exams and long hours at a screen are a familiar story in a university city. Stress and poor sleep often show up in the gut, skin and energy levels. A private consultation (£55) gives you a full assessment and a personal plan, and the natural home pharmacy includes calming lavender for winding down at night.
Consultations and programmesMenopause, weight and metabolism
Many women in their forties and fifties find that what used to work for their weight simply stops working. The 30-Day Metabolic Reset explains insulin resistance and how to reset your gut, over five weeks of live sessions, for £125. You can check your starting point first with the HbA1c test.
The Metabolic ResetFood sensitivities and gut health
If certain meals leave you bloated or uncomfortable, the sensitivity and intolerance test checks over 1,200 items from a small hair sample. Janet spends an hour helping you understand the report, so changes to your diet are guided rather than guesswork. A riverside walk around the peninsula is a lovely way to support digestion afterwards.

A private consultation is £55, the 4-week Personalised Wellness Protocol is £149, and the 12-week whole family programme is £649.
Durham questions.
Do you work with people across County Durham?
Yes. Janet works with people in Durham City and the surrounding towns and villages. Tests are done at home, so it does not matter how far you are from the city centre.
Is the 30-Day Metabolic Reset a diet?
No. It focuses on understanding why dieting alone often fails as we age and on the fuel you give your body, so you can manage your weight for the long term.
How accurate is a hair test?
The sensitivity test uses bioresonance, a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) approach. It gives a useful starting point for diet and lifestyle changes, but it is not a medical diagnosis.
Can I re-test later?
Yes. Many clients re-test after a few months to see how their changes show up. For the Omega Balance Test, re-testing after 120 days is recommended.
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.
