Dr Helen Lawal. ADHD UK Celebrity Ambassador
I’m Dr Helen Lawal, Nutritionist & Coach BSc MBBS DFSRH MN.Nutr
I’M A MEDICAL DOCTOR WITH REAL QUALIFICATIONS
There are so many people online calling themselves a “Health Coach” or “Health Expert” and the truth is, the Health Coaching industry is unregulated and anyone can call themselves a “coach”. I’m a qualified Medical Doctor and I’ve spent 20 years studying, training and working in the field of health care and have gained multiple professional qualifications including a degree in Sport & Exercise Science (Bsc) and a Medical Degree (MBBS). I’ve trained and qualified as a General Practitioner (MRGP) and more recently I’ve gained a level 5 Diploma as an MNU Certified Nutritionist (MN. Nutr).
I HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO MATCH MY QUALIFICATIONS
I’ve worked as a doctor in the NHS for over 13 years. During this time I’ve worked across a range of specialism both in hospital, general practice and the community. I’ve treated thousands and thousands of people with a wide variety of health challenges.
MY METHODOLOGY DOESN’T JUST FOCUS ON FOOD
Using ‘The Empowered Living Method’ I ensure all the key pillars of health are considered alongside nutrition including sleep, exercise and emotional wellbeing and how all of this influences and is influenced by ADHD. So often I see programs, plans and books just focus on food. Food alone is not the answer. My approach is truly holistic.
I AM AUTHISTIC ADHD AND USE MY OWN LIVED EXPERIENCE AND INSIGHTS TO ENSURE YOU FEEL VALIDATED AND HEARD
This isn’t about fixing you. You are not broken. This isn’t about making you as a neurodivergent person fit in to a “neurotypical” world. This is about bringing self awareness, adopting a mind-set of self acceptance and finding a different way of doing things that means you can be yourself and begin to thrive! I’m really passionate about helping other ADHD Women to embrace their Neurodivergence and build new, supportive, healthy habits.
