Hi, I'm Lisa

If you’re dealing with irregular cycles, missing ovulation, or PCOS symptoms that just won’t shift, like cravings, weight gain or breakouts — you’re in the right place.

​

My PCOS Hormone Shift Method offers two personalised online programmes, step one and step two, designed to help women manage weight, support ovulation, improve cycle health and get their body into a more fertile rhythm — with clear, practical steps and expert weekly guidance.

Does This Sound Like You?

You’ve been diagnosed with PCOS (or suspect something’s not right).

​

Now you’ve stopped hormonal contraception, and your cycle’s gone missing. No ovulation, irregular or painful periods, stubborn weight gain, mood swings, skin flare-ups, sugar cravings… and no clear plan.

​

You’ve tried clean eating, cutting carbs, expensive supplements or even online courses by influencers, but you still feel stuck.

And if you’re thinking about starting a family, that missing cycle feels even more worrying.

​

Whether your goal is fertility, regular ovulation, weight loss or finally feeling like your body is working with you — you’re in the right place.

 

I’m Lisa, a BANT Registered Nutritionist with over a decade of experience, specialising in PCOS. I help women understand their symptoms, manage weight, rebalance hormones, and support fertility through personalised nutrition and realistic lifestyle strategies.

Why PCOS is My Focus

Cheshire nutrition leaf logo

PCOS Support that's rooted in science, not fads

As a CNHC and BANT registered nutritionist, I’ve worked with many different hormone-related conditions, but PCOS is the one I keep coming back to.

 

Supporting women with PCOS is genuinely the most rewarding part of what I do. Whether it’s helping someone finally understand what’s driving their symptoms or seeing them get their cycle and ovulation back, often after months (or years) of confusion and frustration — it never stops being incredible.

 

Around 8 in 10 of the women I work with get their cycle back and start ovulating again during the programme. For some, it takes longer or it’s about easing symptoms and feeling like themselves again. For others, it’s the start of a long-hoped-for journey towards pregnancy.

 

Either way, seeing someone feel more in control of their body, and hopeful again, is why I do this work.

 

My programmes give you real tools for real progress!​​

Feel Your Best

Success stories from some of my happy clients

Many of my clients are dealing with PCOS, insulin resistance, and inflammation that affects their energy, mood and metabolism. Through a clear, evidence-based approach, I help them understand what’s driving their symptoms, and take realistic, sustainable steps to improve them.

 

The Hormone Shift Method isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about helping you rebalance your hormones, feel more in control of your body, and finally see progress where you’ve been stuck for years.

“I’d tried it all, cutting carbs, intermittent fasting, swapping dairy, even gluten-free. I was walking every day, no snacks, tracking my calories. But I still felt awful. My skin was flaring and my period had disappeared again. My GP said my bloods were ‘fine’. Online advice just told me to eat fewer processed foods and lose weight. I felt like no one was really helping me figure out what was actually going on.

Then I found Lisa’s programme and for the first time, someone looked at the full picture.

Within weeks, I understood what was triggering my symptoms and how to support my hormones without going on another extreme diet. And yes, my period came back and I ovulated naturally for the first time in over a year!" Georgia, 29

Introducing The PCOS Hormone Shift Method

Get your cycle, energy and hormones back on track with PCOS

Support for women ready to take control, after the pill, or before trying for a baby.

​

Hormone imbalances and PCOS symptoms like weight gain, irregular periods or fatigue don’t need extreme diets or guesswork.

 

You need consistency, with clear steps, the right support, and a plan that meets you where you are. That’s why I offer different levels of personalised support.

​

The PCOS Food Fix

If you aren't ready for a full programme yet, but your energy is all over the place, your cravings are out of control, and nothing seems to work, the PCOS Food Fix is a good place to start. This self-paced starter course helps you rebalance your hormones through food. Find out more here.

​

The Quick-Start Nutrition Reset

Not ovulating, unsure why your cycle is missing, or what to do next?​ Get personalised clarity and a 3 step food-first plan to start supporting hormone balance. If your period is irregular, or absent since stopping the pill, and you’re not ready for a full programme but you’ve no idea where to start, this 1:1 session is for you. Find out more here.

 

The Hormone Shift Method – Step One

A full 12-week foundations programme for women ready to restore their cycle, rebalance hormones and reduce PCOS symptoms like weight gain, cravings, and fatigue, especially if you’ve recently stopped the pill or haven’t had a regular cycle in a while. This is where most clients start if their periods are missing, irregular, or unpredictable.

 

Restore & Prepare – Step Two

This follow-on programme supports deeper hormone repair, ovulation, and fertility preparation. If your cycle has returned and you’re now thinking about conception, managing your weight or improving egg quality, this step is for you.

 

12 week programmes include expert nutrition guidance, personalised 1:1 coaching and practical lifestyle strategies. There are no generic plans, everything is tailored around you, your symptoms and your goals.

Why should I choose a BANT-registered nutritionist in Manchester for hormone health?

Choosing a BANT-registered nutritionist ensures you’re working with a qualified, evidence-based professional who is committed to the highest standards of care. As a specialist in hormone health, I take a personalised, functional medicine approach to support women dealing with issues such as PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, and thyroid imbalances. Here’s why I’m uniquely placed to help: •Expertise in Hormonal Health: With over a decade of experience, I understand the unique challenges women face in midlife, from unpredictable energy levels and weight gain to hormonal fluctuations. My programmes are specifically designed to tackle these issues at their root. •Individualised Support: No two women are the same, and neither are their hormones. I create bespoke nutrition and lifestyle plans tailored to your specific symptoms and goals. •Functional Testing Options: For a deeper understanding of what’s driving your symptoms, I offer advanced functional health tests, such as hormone panels (DUTCH Test) or gut microbiome testing, to identify imbalances and guide your plan. •Realistic, Sustainable Changes: I focus on simple, actionable strategies to balance your hormones naturally, improve your energy, and support long-term health—without extreme restrictions or unsustainable diets. •Convenient Online Support: Based in Manchester, I offer online consultations so you can access expert help wherever you are. Hormonal health can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can take back control of your body, feel more balanced, and reclaim your confidence.

What makes nutrition support for hormone health so important?

Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, influencing everything from energy levels, intimate health and weight regulation to mood, sleep, skin health and overall wellbeing. When hormones are out of balance, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including irregular periods, PMS, PMDD, PCOS, thyroid issues, weight gain, acne, mood swings, fatigue, and more. Good nutrition is one of the most powerful ways to support your hormones and regain balance. Here’s why: •Root Cause Support: Many hormonal imbalances are linked to diet and lifestyle factors, such as blood sugar instability, inflammation, or nutrient deficiencies. A tailored nutrition plan helps address these root causes. •Improved Symptoms: The right foods and nutrients can ease symptoms like bloating, cravings, low energy, or irregular cycles, giving your body the tools it needs to function optimally. •Prevention: Nutrition can help prevent long-term complications of hormone imbalances, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. •Personalised Solutions: Everyone’s hormonal needs are different. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, or thyroid issues, personalised nutrition ensures your plan is tailored to your unique symptoms and health goals. Through a functional medicine approach, I’ll help you understand what’s driving your symptoms and provide simple, achievable steps to improve your hormone health. By focusing on the right balance of foods, nutrients, and lifestyle changes, you can feel more energised, balanced, and in control of your health—no matter your age or stage of life. If you’re ready to stop struggling and start feeling better, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

How is this different from other weight loss or hormone plans?

This isn’t just advice, it’s a structured, supported plan tailored to women with PCOS. You’ll get weekly coaching, accountability, optional hormone and nutrient testing, and expert guidance that simplifies the science.
