Nutritional therapy in Lanchester.
Test-based nutrition support for Lanchester and the farms and hamlets around it, from Janet Ewens of Babylon Health Hub. Your kit comes through the letterbox and your consultation is booked online, so village life carries on as normal.
Country air and a clearer picture.
Lanchester has a lot going for it: the village green, the old parish church with its Roman stonework, and open countryside in every direction. The Romans built their fort of Longovicium on the hill above, and people have been settling in this corner of the Browney valley ever since. It is a place where families stay for generations and newcomers rarely leave.
A healthy setting does not always mean you feel well, of course. Commuters on the A691 to Durham and Consett, farming families with long days outdoors and retired couples who walk every morning can all find themselves with stiff joints, a restless gut or energy that runs out by teatime. Janet’s motto for all of them is the same: test, don’t guess.
Janet works from Washington, about eleven miles to the north east, and supports people in Lanchester, Burnhope, Langley Park and Cornsay without anyone needing to drive anywhere. You begin with a free 30-minute call, take any test at your kitchen table and talk through the findings with her afterwards, one small and realistic change at a time.

Where Janet can help.
Miles on the railway path
The Lanchester Valley Railway Path runs right through the village on its way between Durham and Consett, and it is busy with walkers, runners and cyclists all year. If your knees and hips complain after a long outing, the Omega Balance Test may be worth a look. A finger prick sample is used to measure 11 fatty acids, your omega 6 to 3 ratio and a marker linked to inflammation.

Winter arrives early on the hills between Lanchester and Consett, and for months the daylight is brief and the sun sits low. Even people who work outside on the land may not be making much vitamin D at that time of year. For £65, the Vitamin D Test gives you a finger prick reading and a conversation with Janet about what, if anything, to do next.

This is farming country, and many Lanchester households already cook from scratch with meat, eggs and vegetables produced close to home. Janet’s nutrition advice builds on that rather than replacing it with a list of banned foods. She can help you balance your plate, time your meals around a commute or a long shift on the farm, and decide whether a private consultation would add anything.

Lanchester questions.
Will I have to drive to Washington for an appointment?
No. Nothing about the process needs a car: your kit comes by post, your sample goes back by post and you speak to Janet online.
I am fit and active, so is a test still useful?
It can be. Active people often want to know whether their diet is supporting their joints and recovery, and the Omega Balance Test offers a starting point for that conversation.
Can my husband or wife do a test at the same time?
Yes. Each person needs their own kit and gets their own results, and Janet is happy to talk to couples and families about tackling changes together.
How much is the Vitamin D Test?
It is £65, which covers the finger prick kit, the lab analysis and a results consultation with Janet.
