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 medic...

Always a lovely experience with Rachel. She is always so in depth when it comes to the analysis given and has a beautiful soul one can resonate with! Following the DNA way I was able to lose 1.5kg of pure fat and 1.8 kg of pure muscle before my DNA results even came in! Very excited for the outcome of getting to be the best version of me! Highly recommentd for anyone to feel better about themselves and best set oneself up to thrive! Thank you very much for everything Rachel and I cannot wait to continue going on this journey with your guidance :)

I thought a was really going to struggle by changing my diet for my DNA but I don't feel bad at all and I still get to eat the foods that I love. My meals feel complete and my mind is happy. I'm not having food anxiety anymore! The DNA Way has given me flexibility with eating and it almost feels playful with the techniques I've been taught by Rachel and the team. I actually feel amazing with the changes that we've made together. It's the first time in so long that I'd be happy to get in a bikini. My brain fog is gone, I'm clearer in the mind, not bloated any more and my energy is back to where it was a few years ago. I feel like menopause has been totally managed!!

My name is Charles. I am a recently retired 59 year old living in London (previous buisness owner). For several years my body struggled with many issues. I was sluggish, unmotivated and my organs were reacting in a crisis mode. I instinctively knew that there were issues with my diet but I wasn't aware of what they were. It felt very odd as I didn't consume fatty foods, sodas or sugary items but my body still did not respond positively. I even went so far as to do a self test, a mail-in dna test that told me I had intolerances to nearly everything. Something still didn’t seem right. I then came across The DNA Way on the web and decided to make an approach. Rachel The DNA Dietitian and her team were extraordinary from conversion one. I was a bit skeptical but went ahead and decided to further make an investment in myself. My weight went from 86.5kg to 79.2 kg in a few months. And my visceral fat around my organs went from an unhealthy level to very healthy! I’m fitting in clothes that I haven't been able to wear for years. My energy levels are constant, I never feel hungry and almost never desire to snack between meals. Whilst the numbers are nice and compliments from others lift my ego, they pale in comparison to the relief I now have that my body is cared for and that I am in the driver's seat. Oh, and that silly mail-in dna test I took was totally false. I have zero food intolerances. I only need to ensure that my body is well nourished with the vitamins and minerals unique to me. There are so many fad diets out there. Injections, pills and other “quick fixes” are...

I’m a 37 year old women, and I run my own business here in London. In just 12 weeks with The DNA Way, I dropped two dress sizes - I’m now in 24-inch jeans, which I’ve never managed before. Shopping actually feels fun again. I love opening my wardrobe and choosing clothes I want to wear, not ones that just cover me up. I hadn’t worn short sleeves in nine years… and now I do - with confidence. It’s not just about the size though - my bloods completely transformed. My high testosterone and cholesterol are now normal, and my vitamin D and iron levels are finally balanced. Before this, I was running on half power my energy was maybe a 5 out of 10 most days. Now it’s a solid 10. I feel like myself again. My confidence around food has completely changed too. I used to second-guess everything - what to eat, what to cut, what was “healthy.” Now I just know what works for my body. No more overthinking, no more guilt. Even when I travel, it’s easy - know how to eat anywhere, and I still enjoy the foods I love. If you’re a busy professional wondering whether The DNA Way and working with Rachel is worth it - it absolutely is. It’s not another diet. It’s a simple, science-led way of eating and living that finally makes sense for you. Super Grateful and continue to work with her. SC, London

After years of struggling with knowing what works best for me I've found the best weight loss dietitian in Rachel. She's not only helped me find my DNA diet specific genes to focus on for fat loss but we've also worked on my gut health and energy levels. I'm so happy and my friends and family keep complimenting me on my results. The DNA Way of eating with The DNA Dietitian has been lifechanging for me and I wish more people the happieness I've lived through this experience. Thank you with all of my heart xx

She is the best! Always polite and accommodating and most importantly gets you the results you want. Whether it’s weight or body fat you want to drop she will make it happen all while giving you exactly what you like to eat. Pasta, noodles, chicken & rice, tacos you name it and you’ll still reach your goals. Age literally does not matter here Infact she’ll take 10 years off you. This has been the best experience I’ve had with a dietician and I’ve been to a lot of them so definitely give it a shot!

Rachel could not have been more supportive and helpful. I came to Rachel with some very painful medical symptoms which were debilitating. I am now back at the gym 4 times a week, living life to the full and symptom free. Rachel has taught me to love eating the foods that nourish my body. I’m 64 and suddenly feel I might make it to 104! Thank you.

The best way to describe my experience is Life changing. In 4 months I feel the changes in mind body and soul. My goal was to improve my health and combat crippling migraines. Working with Rachel has helped me tremendously with my goal and the side effects have been some much needed weight loss and a huge positive impact on my self confidence. I feel the difference in every aspect of my day to day life and I have acheived this feeling supported and guided towards finding my best self. Rachel and her team have been absolutely brilliant and wonderful in supporting me all the way. I continue this path having set new targets and I plan on making this a total lifestyle change going forward.
