Nutritional therapy in Whickham.
Whickham sits high above the Tyne and the Derwent, and Janet Ewens is a short run down the A1 in Washington. Take a health test at home, talk the results through, and make changes you can keep.
Up on the hill, and feeling well.
Whickham has kept the feel of a village, with Front Street, Chase Park and its old windmill at the centre and Swalwell, Dunston Hill and Sunniside around the edges. The views stretch right across the Tyne valley, and so do the hills, as anyone who has walked up the bank from Swalwell will tell you.
Plenty of people here are active, with Watergate Forest Park, the Derwent Walk and Gibside all close by. Others commute over the river every day and find that exercise slips. Either way, tiredness, stiff joints and a spreading waistline can arrive quietly in your forties and fifties and then refuse to leave.
Janet’s way of working is calm and practical. She asks what is going on, suggests a test only where it would tell you something useful, and then helps you choose small, steady changes. She is based eight miles away in Washington, and the first 30-minute call with her is free.
