Simple home tests and friendly nutrition advice for Hetton-le-Hole, Easington Lane and Eppleton. Janet Ewens is based in Washington, around six miles north, and every test she offers is done at home by post.

Local to Hetton

Small steps, steadily taken.

Hetton-le-Hole knows something about doing things first. George Stephenson engineered the Hetton colliery railway here, opened in 1822, to carry coal to the staiths on the Wear at Sunderland. The pits have gone now, and reclaimed colliery land has become Hetton Lyons Country Park, with its lakes, paths and cycle circuit.

Babylon Health Hub is the practice of Janet Ewens, a nutritional therapist who lives in Washington. After 30 years of IBS, headaches and chronic fatigue, she found that small, steady changes worked where quick fixes had not. She now helps other people do the same, starting with a test so that nobody has to guess.

People from Hetton, Easington Lane, Eppleton and Moorsley can do everything from home. You book a free 30-minute call, choose a test if one seems useful, and post your sample to the lab. Janet then goes through the results with you in an online consultation and agrees a few changes you can keep going.

Support for Hetton-le-Hole

Where Janet can help.

Laps of the lakes and stiff knees

Hetton Lyons Country Park is busy with walkers, runners and cyclists in all weathers, and regular exercise sometimes brings sore joints and slow recovery with it. The Omega Balance Test is a finger prick test that measures 11 fatty acids, your omega 6 to 3 ratio and an inflammation marker. Janet explains what your numbers mean and how everyday food choices may help to shift them over time.

Short days and grey afternoons

Winter afternoons in Hetton are short and grey, as anyone who has walked the dog round the Lyons in December will tell you. Through the darker months the sun is too weak for skin to make much vitamin D, however often you get outdoors. The Vitamin D Test costs £65, uses a finger prick sample and includes a consultation, so you can talk through whether a supplement is sensible.

Old remedies, sensibly used

Many families in former pit villages like Hetton and Easington Lane grew up with home cures for coughs, aches and sleepless nights, handed down through the generations. Janet’s plant-based pharmacy follows the same instinct, using natural remedies for everyday niggles with clear advice on using them safely. If you would like to learn the basics first, the Pure Plant Medicine Masterclass is a relaxed introduction.

Should I stop my medication if I try natural remedies?

Please do not stop prescribed medication without speaking to your GP. Janet’s advice is meant to sit alongside medical care, not replace it.
