Nutritional therapy in Seaham.
Home health tests and calm, practical nutrition support for Seaham and the Durham coast. Janet Ewens works from Washington, about eight miles inland, and helps you make sense of your results one step at a time.
Harbour town, honest answers.
Seaham has changed more than most. Three collieries once worked the coal under the sea here, and the beaches below Nose’s Point were black with waste. Today the same shoreline is part of the Durham Heritage Coast, visitors hunt for sea glass on the shingle, and Tommy, the steel soldier on Terrace Green, looks out over the harbour.
Health can turn around in the same patient way. Janet Ewens spent 30 years with IBS, headaches and chronic fatigue before she found a natural way forward, and she built Babylon Health Hub around what she learned. Her approach is to test rather than guess, then to change a little at a time until it becomes normal.
From Dawdon and Deneside to Parkside, Westlea and Seaton village, everything can be done without leaving the house. A free 30-minute call is the way in. If a test would help, the kit is posted to you, the sample is posted to the lab, and Janet explains the results in a consultation booked online.

Where Janet can help.
North Sea light and vitamin D
A walk along the cliff top from the marina towards Seaham Hall beach blows the cobwebs away at any time of year. From autumn to spring, though, the sun on this coast sits too low for skin to make much vitamin D, and many people never think to check. The Vitamin D Test is a finger prick sample taken at home for £65, with a consultation to talk through the result.

Seaham’s seafront is a place for treats, and nobody wants to give those up. If you notice that bloating, skin flare ups or headaches keep coming back, though, it can help to look at what you eat the rest of the week. The Sensitivity and Intolerance Test checks a hair sample against over 1,200 items, from foods and additives to metals and nutrients, and includes an hour with Janet. Please note that it does not test for allergies.
About the sensitivity testA four week plan that suits your life
Not everybody wants a test straight away. Some people in Seaham simply want someone to look at the whole picture: the early starts, the caring for grandchildren, the meals that get missed. A private consultation is £55, and the 4-week Personalised Wellness Protocol is £149 for a plan built around you. Both are explained on the consultations and programmes page, and both are booked online.

Seaham questions.
Is the Vitamin D Test worth doing if I’m outdoors a lot?
It can be. In the darker months the sun here is weak, so time outside does not always mean good vitamin D levels. The test gives you a number to work from in place of a guess.
Do I have to come to Washington?
There is no need. Janet is based in Washington, but tests are done at home in Seaham and posted to the lab, and consultations are booked online.
What is the Personalised Wellness Protocol?
It is a 4-week programme for £149, designed around your own health picture. Janet can explain whether it suits you on the free first call.
Can the hair test tell me if I have a food allergy?
It cannot, because the Sensitivity and Intolerance Test is not an allergy test. If you suspect an allergy, please see your GP.
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.
