Ms Rachel Clarkson

Nutritionist

Working with Rachel has been genuinely life-changing. My name is Kevin, I'm in my 40's and a buisness owner in London. Over the past nine months, through a sustainable and healthy approach to eating and nutrition, built around a highly personalised, DNA-based programme through The DNA Way, she has helped me lose 21kg to date. I started this journey at 102kg and am now down to 81kg, with my next weight goal being approximately 77kg. Just as importantly, the focus hasn’t only been on weight, but on overall body composition and long-term health. I began at 31% body fat and have reduced this to 22%, with a clear and realistic goal of reaching 15% body fat in a safe and sustainable way. Throughout this process, I have learnt an incredible amount about nutrition, food choices, and how the body actually responds to what we eat. It’s honestly surprising that this level of education isn’t taught in schools, given how fundamental it is to living a healthy, balanced and nutritious life. Rachel doesn’t just tell you what to do, she explains why, which has completely changed how I think about food and nutrition long-term. This has very much been a lifestyle change, not a diet. A key part of the process has been how highly personalised everything has been, using DNA-based nutrition through The DNA Way to tailor the approach specifically to me. This has made it much easier to stay consistent, as the plan fits into my busy work and social life and includes foods that I genuinely enjoy, rather than feeling restrictive. The journey has not been straightforward, as I have a number of medical challenges that need to be carefully factored into everything we do. These limitations have restricted how much physical exercise I’ve been able to carry out, meaning progress hasn’t been driven by training alone. Instead, we’ve had to be thoughtful, strategic, and creative in our approach. Rachel has been exceptional at adapting plans around these constraints, ensuring that everything remains safe, realistic, and achievable while still delivering consistent results. Despite these challenges, progress has continued, and that’s been one of the most reassuring parts of working with Rachel. There is always a clear plan, measurable goals, and a structured approach that keeps things moving forward without compromising my health. I’m confident we will reach the remaining goals by staying disciplined, trusting the process, and continuing to work to the plan we’ve put in place, particularly because the approach is tailored to my DNA and therefore works for me as an individual. The biggest takeaway I can give anyone considering working with Rachel is that success comes down to discipline and consistency, but those are made much easier when the approach fits around real life and is built specifically for you. Rachel provides everything you need, including the education, structured plans, guidance, and recipe ideas, but it’s up to you to follow through. If you commit to the process and apply what she teaches you, the results will come. I’m living proof that even with medical limitations, a busy lifestyle, and long-term habits to change, meaningful and lasting change is absolutely possible with the right support and approach.

She made us believe that every problem has a solution, listening patiently to every concern we had and addressing them with a clear, actionable plan.

My experience of the hospital was very good. The staff were amazing especially Jayne on Day surgery and David at the ward at night. The only downside that came to my attention is being told that there was no lactose free milk for my tea. The lady, I did catch her name, told me that she wasn’t aware of my overnight stay. She asked me if I was aware that I was staying overnight and I replied ‘yes’. She then went on to ask if I had put it in my forms prior to attending and I said yes. She kept on going on it wasn’t her fault she had been told. A bit of advice would be that she overshared. She clearly sorted the problem as the following morning someone had picked up the milk and I had it with my tea.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

I have recently had two procedures within two months, plus outpatient appointments. All members of staff, from receptionist to nursing staff to consultants, were extremely polite, and nothing was too much trouble. I have had two separate consultants, and they were extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease, as I was quite nervous. Their secretaries were very friendly each time I rang through, and nothing was too much trouble. The outpatient department is very modern and spotless. I was very impressed and grateful that so many different eye examinations were performed on me. The in patient department is also spotless, and my meal after my operation was delicious!

Professor Barbara McGowan

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Professor McGowan was very approachable and personable, she made me feel at ease and really listened to. She asked many questions to fully understand the nature and impact of my symptoms and offered reassurance that she would investigate all possible causes and by a process of elimination find the best course of action. She requested plenty of tests to aid this investigation and pointed me in the direction of an different specialist to seek a second opinion and treatment for my condition. I am very grateful for her interest in my case and the way she helped.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

It was a little overwhelming as I was expecting to discuss fitting a coil and whilst that was mentioned, I was advised about having surgery which was unexpected. I found myself agreeing to the surgery despite not knowing much about it. The risks were not explained and I didnt find out how the procedure would be executed or potential recovery time that might be required. I feel a bit confused about whether this is the right course of action or not. I was not pleased to receive a letter that claimed the risks were explained to me, when they were not.

Mr Ardeshir Bonshahi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Without any shadow of doubt, Mr. Bonshahi is a first class orthopaedic surgeon, I recently had a total hip replacement and my recovery has been amazing thanks to Mr.Bonshahi magical surgical skills. My whole experience with Mr Bonshahi and his team at Highfield has been an exceptional gift and certainly alleviated the dreadful fear of surgery which I have carried for decades. I don’t just have a brand-new hip. I brand-new person who’s determined to make the best of life thankyou so much.

Thyroid blood test. Never been before. Autistic so some challeges : a sign on door to push would have helped, it was intimidating, couldn’t get in straight away. An area with reduced lighting to wait would have reduced my overwhelm, was very close to waiting outside. Became very overwhelmed trying to explain which test I had booked, knew there was a fault on the website. Although the situation was rectified satisfactorily, it was still an overwhelming, triggering experience.
