Nutritional therapy in Stanley.

Stanley is a hilltop town with a big heart and a long memory. Janet Ewens, eight miles east in Washington, offers home health tests and steady, realistic nutrition support to the people who live here.

Local to north west Durham

Straight talking for a hilltop town.

Stanley stands high in the hills of north west Durham, with South Moor, Shield Row, Tantobie and Tanfield gathered round it. Coal built the town, and the West Stanley pit disaster of 1909 is still remembered here. Beamish Museum, just down the bank, tells the story of the kind of life Stanley people’s grandparents led.

The pits have gone, but the closeness has not. Families tend to live near each other, look after each other and eat together, which is a real strength when someone decides to change a habit. It also means a taste for stotties, pies and a sweet cup of tea gets handed down along with everything else.

Janet will not lecture anyone about that. She had IBS, headaches and chronic fatigue for 30 years and knows that change has to be small to last. From Washington, a straightforward drive away along the A693 and the A1(M), she offers a free 30-minute call to anyone in Stanley who is tired of feeling tired.

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 Stanley. 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 Stanley

Where Janet can help.

Weight, energy and insulin resistance

If the weight has gone on round the middle and no diet shifts it for long, there may be more going on than willpower. The 30-Day Metabolic Reset sets out what insulin resistance is, in plain English, and there are live sessions every month. Stanley people who prefer hard numbers can pair it with the Blood Sugar (HbA1c) Test, which shows long term blood sugar and a Type 2 diabetes risk score.

The Metabolic Reset

Coast to coast legs

The C2C cycle route climbs through Stanley on the old railway line, and plenty of locals use it for a Sunday ride or a walk out towards Beamish. The same path runs on past Washington on its way to the sea. If knees and hips complain after a few miles, the Omega Balance Test is worth a thought: a finger prick test of 11 fatty acids, your omega 6 to 3 ratio and an inflammation marker.

Three generations round one table

When nana, parents and bairns all eat from the same pot, one person changing alone rarely works. Janet’s Supercharge Your Journey programme runs for 12 weeks, costs £649 and is built for a whole family to do together. It is a commitment, so talk it over first. A £55 private consultation will tell you whether it suits your household or whether something lighter would do.

FAQs

Stanley questions.

Does Janet come up to Stanley?

Janet works from Washington and does not hold a clinic in Stanley. She does not need to, because tests arrive by post and consultations are booked online.

I have tried every diet going. What is different here?

Janet starts by testing rather than guessing, then helps you make small, steady changes. The 30-Day Metabolic Reset explains insulin resistance in plain English, so you understand the reasons behind them.

Can my whole family take part?

Yes. Supercharge Your Journey is a 12-week programme for the whole family, at £649.

What will it cost me to find out more?

Nothing at all. The first 30-minute call is free, and there is no obligation to book a test or a programme afterwards.

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.
