Nutritional therapy in Prudhoe.

Prudhoe looks down on the Tyne from its hillside, a fair step from the city. With Janet Ewens, distance is no obstacle: tests come by post, and consultations are booked online from her base in Washington.

Local to the Tyne Valley

From castle to riverside, help that reaches you.

Prudhoe is strung along a steep hillside on the south bank of the Tyne, with its medieval castle guarding the river crossing to Ovingham and the country park on the flat ground below. It is the biggest town in this stretch of the valley, and a working one, with a long industrial estate at Low Prudhoe.

Some residents work those sites around the clock. Others catch the Tyne Valley train into Newcastle or drive the A695 each morning. In both cases the day is long, meals get squeezed, and a niggling health worry is easy to park for another month because sorting it out seems to need time nobody has.

Janet makes that part easier. Based fourteen miles east in Washington, she works with people across the North East by post and online. A free 30-minute call fits into a lunch break, and if a test seems sensible the kit is sent straight to your home in Prudhoe, Mickley or West Wylam.

How it works

Three simple steps.

Step 1

Book a free call

Tell Janet what has been going on in a relaxed 30-minute chat, wherever you are in Prudhoe. There is no pressure and no obligation.

Step 2

Test at home

If a test makes sense, your kit comes to you. Take a small hair sample or a finger prick at home and post it to the lab.

Step 3

Talk through your results

Janet explains what your results mean and agrees a simple plan with you. Re-test later to see the difference your changes make.

Support for Prudhoe

Where Janet can help.

Round the clock shifts at Low Prudhoe

The paper mill and the factories at Low Prudhoe run day and night, and shift patterns can turn mealtimes upside down. Eating at three in the morning and sleeping through daylight may affect how your body handles sugar. The Blood Sugar (HbA1c) Test gives a view of your long term blood sugar with a Type 2 diabetes risk score, and the 30-Day Metabolic Reset explains insulin resistance in plain English.

A gut that will not settle

Bloating, an unpredictable stomach or skin that flares for no obvious reason can make a train commute or a long shift miserable. The Sensitivity and Intolerance Test costs £130 and checks a hair sample against over 1,200 items. It is not an allergy test and it does not diagnose anything. What it gives you, with an hour of Janet’s time, is an organised place to begin.

About the sensitivity test

Learn the basics of plant medicine

Prudhoe folk are practical, and many would rather understand a thing than simply be told. The Pure Plant Medicine Masterclass is where Janet shares how she uses plant-based remedies at home, what they are suited to and where their limits lie. It is a good introduction if you are curious, and a loop of the Tyne Riverside Country Park afterwards is a remedy in itself.

FAQs

Prudhoe questions.

Do you help people in Northumberland as well as Tyne and Wear?

Yes. Janet is based in Washington but works by post and online, so Prudhoe and the rest of the Tyne Valley are well within reach.

I work nights. When can I speak to Janet?

Consultations are booked online, so you can look at the times Janet has available and choose one that suits your shift pattern.

Does the HbA1c test tell me whether I have diabetes?

No. It shows your long term blood sugar and gives a Type 2 diabetes risk score, but only your GP can diagnose diabetes. Please share your result with them.

How much is the Sensitivity and Intolerance Test?

£130, which includes the hair sample kit, the lab report and a one hour results consultation with Janet.

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.
