Nutritional therapy in Shildon.
In Shildon, a town that knows a thing or two about good engineering, Janet Ewens offers a methodical way to look at your health: test first, then act. Kits come by post and consultations are held online.
Test, don’t guess, in the railway town.
Shildon calls itself the cradle of the railways with good reason. Locomotion No. 1 set off from here in 1825, Timothy Hackworth built his engines in the town, and the wagon works employed thousands until it shut in 1984. Today the Locomotion museum keeps that story alive, while Hackworth Park remains the green heart of the place.
Railwaymen did not guess at what was wrong with an engine. They measured, checked and then fixed what needed fixing. Janet applies the same thinking to nutrition. If you are worn out, uncomfortable after eating or worried about your weight, she would rather look at some evidence with you than hand over generic advice that may not fit.
Janet runs Babylon Health Hub from her home town of Washington, some nineteen miles north of Shildon. She does not see clients in person in Shildon, and nobody has to travel. After a free 30-minute call, a test kit can be sent to your address, and the results are explained in a consultation you book online.

Where Janet can help.
After a lifetime of heavy work
Many Shildon people spent their working lives on their feet in workshops and factories, then found that retirement or a desk job changed their shape and their energy. The Blood Sugar (HbA1c) Test is a way of checking how your body has been coping. It reports long term blood sugar together with a lifestyle assessment and a Type 2 diabetes risk score, and Janet helps you plan from there.

Families in Shildon often live a few streets apart, with grandparents doing the school pick up and Sunday dinner shared by everyone. That closeness makes it easier to change habits as a group. Janet’s 12-week whole family programme, Supercharge Your Journey, is described on her consultations and programmes page and costs £649. It gives a household time to adjust together instead of one person struggling alone.
Consultations and programmesTopping up after a grey winter
Even with a daily turn around Hackworth Park, a south Durham winter offers little strong sunshine, and vitamin D is one nutrient the body mostly makes from sunlight. Checking is straightforward. Janet’s Vitamin D Test needs only a finger prick, costs £65 and ends with a consultation, so any decision about supplements rests on your own result and not on a hunch.

A private consultation is £55, the 4-week Personalised Wellness Protocol is £149, and the 12-week whole family programme is £649.
Shildon questions.
Where do I go to take a test?
Nowhere. The kit is sent to your home in Shildon, you take the sample yourself and post it to the lab.
Is the blood sugar test suitable if I already have diabetes?
If you have a diagnosis, your GP or diabetes nurse should remain your first point of contact. Janet can talk through food and lifestyle on the free call and advise whether the test would add anything.
Can grandparents join the family programme?
The 12-week programme is for the whole family, so ask Janet on your free call how it could work for your household.
What happens after I post my sample?
The lab analyses it and Janet contacts you to arrange your results consultation, which is included in what you have paid.
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.
