Say a big hello to Bee!

Bee is a registered Nutritional Therapist specialising in ME/CFS, long-covid and other complex health conditions. Her clinical work is deeply informed by both extensive professional training and her own lived experience of severe, long-term illness.

Bee’s health journey began early in life, with eczema, digestive illness, allergies, and food intolerances progressing into significant gastrointestinal dysfunction by her early twenties. At the age of 24, following a viral illness and years of pushing through symptoms with limited support, her health deteriorated dramatically. She became bedridden for eight years, reliant on social care support, and experienced profound neurological and physical impairment, including losing the ability to read.

It was through naturopathic nutrition and functional medicine that Bee was finally able to stabilise and rebuild her health. This experience not only transformed her recovery, but also inspired her to retrain in nutritional therapy so she could fully understand why specific interventions were being used, and how to apply them safely and effectively. She qualified in 2015 and has been in clinical practice for over 10 years.
Bee now works with individuals affected by ME/CFS and other post-viral conditions by addressing the underlying drivers that commonly contribute to these conditions, including gut dysfunction (such as SIBO), immune dysregulation, blood sugar instability, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, chronic infections, mould and mycotoxin exposure, and nervous system dysregulation. Her approach is highly individualised, gentle, and paced, recognising that one-size-fits-all protocols are often inappropriate and harmful for people with complex fatigue conditions.
She has a particular interest in gut health, female hormones, skin health, and blood sugar regulation, and is passionate about helping clients feel heard, believed, supported and empowered through education. Bee’s work focuses on restoring physiological resilience while respecting each client’s energy limitations and lived reality. This encompasses nutritional, lifestyle, and detoxification

Why REPOWR Works
Most hydration products do not have enough electrolytes or the right ratio. They contain sugar and other additives. REPOWR is scientifically formulated to give you all that you need, without the things you don’t.

The Science Behind REPOWR Daily Electrolytes
The Basics
Electrolytes are produced when essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride, are broken down into their ion form, meaning they carry an electrical charge that is necessary for our bodies to function, our nerves to fire and our muscles to contract. Electrolytes are also necessary for the movement of substances into and out of our cells.

Most electrolyte products have sodium and potassium, and some have magnesium. REPOWR has all three, in the optimal quantities and ratio.

What about chloride? Chloride (which carries a negative charge) comes attached to sodium, and usually potassium, as in sodium chloride or potassium chloride. Calcium doesn't need to be supplemented.

Let’s talk about sodium. This is the main electrolyte found in extracellular fluid, meaning fluid outside your cells, like in your blood. Out of all the electrolytes, sodium is lost in the greatest quantity (think of sweat) and needs the most replacement.

However, for the longest time, sodium, which comes from salt, has been vilified. Excess salt, we were told, raises blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Things have changed. Yet, despite ample science debunking the myth that salt is bad for everyone, many people, including medical professionals, are still locked in the past. Old dogma doesn’t die easily.

An often-quoted study, published in 2011 in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that our official guidelines for sodium are out of whack. If reading scientific papers isn’t your thing, there are 3 important takeaways:

Too LITTLE salt is actually dangerous.
Too much salt occurs at more than 8g of sodium per day (that’s 21g of salt)
The sweet-spot, or lowest risk of cardiovascular disease, is 5g of sodium per day (13g of salt), more than DOUBLE the official recommendation.

This is why we will be stocking it at the clinic!

Gail Sumner: HRC Founder
I have always been interested from a young age in the physiological and biological working of the human body. This inspired me to go to university straight from school and train to become a physiotherapist, graduating from Leeds University with a BSc Honours in Physiotherapy in 1998 and becoming a fully chartered and state-registered physiotherapist.

Physiotherapy, by its nature is a ‘hands-on’ treatment but it also means you spend a considerable amount of time engaging with people, often people in distress or coming to terms with a life-changing injury or chronic disease. Seeing the wider effect this had on people’s lives actually started my thinking about a patient’s long term recovery and other post treatment factors that could optimise their recovery after physiotherapy treatment finished.

Listening to you is one of the most important things we do.

The work we do at The Chronic Health Recovery Clinic is motivated by our patients, many of whom have had a long and difficult journey in getting the right help before visiting us.

We don’t just look at your specific pain or immediate symptoms, we look at you in detail; your medical history, your lifestyle, your vocation and any other potential external factors that you feel are important during your health assessment at the clinic.

Dealing with the underlying causes of chronic illness and severe fatigue is fundamental to how we work at the clinic.
