Alex Allan Nutrition

Alex Allan BSc (Hons) NT, Dip BCNH, mBANT, regCNHC is a Registered Nutritional Therapist and BANT-registered Nutritionist.

After spending more than 20 years working in a corporate environment, I moved to Nutritional Therapy after discovering the diet and lifestyle changes transformed my health. Since then, I’ve wanted to share that life-changing experience and help other people. Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. I use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows me to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health. Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing. I consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. I never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. I will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.

Shorter days, richer foods, alcohol and higher stress create the perfect storm for low energy and unsettled digestion.

In my new blog, I’m sharing nutrition, lifestyle and mindset support that can help you pace yourself, protect your energy and start January feeling more grounded.

🌿 World Kindness Day reminder: Don’t forget to include yourself on the list.

Being kind to yourself doesn’t have to be big or fancy. It might be taking five quiet minutes with a cup of tea, cooking something nourishing, or stepping outside for fresh air and sunshine.

Small moments of kindness towards yourself can have a big impact on how you feel. 💛

What will your moment of kindness to yourself be?

I’ll start. My moment of kindness was a walk in the sunshine 🌞 The colours are magical this time of year 🍂

Have you ever noticed that some foods seem to make you hungrier, not fuller?

Ultra-processed foods (or UPFs) are everywhere right now, and they can have a powerful impact on appetite, blood sugar balance, and energy.

In one of my latest blogs, I’m looking at:
✨ What counts as a UPF and why they’re so hard to avoid
✨ How they influence hunger hormones and cravings
✨ Simple swaps that make a real difference to energy, mood, and metabolism

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness and small, steady changes that support your body better, especially at this time of year when UPFs seem to be everywhere.

Could insulin resistance be behind your midlife weight gain or energy dips?

If you feel like you’re doing all the right things but your energy still crashes mid-afternoon or that stubborn belly fat won’t shift, your blood sugar balance might be playing a role.

Insulin resistance is one of the most common, and often overlooked, reasons for fatigue, cravings and weight gain in our 40s and 50s.

The good news? It responds really well to nutrition and lifestyle changes.

In one of my latest blogs, I share:
✅ Signs that your blood sugar balance might need support
✅ Simple food swaps that improve insulin sensitivity
✅ Lifestyle habits that can boost energy and reduce cravings

As it’s National Diabetes Month, there’s no better time to take a closer look at how your body handles blood sugar.

🩸 November is National Diabetes Month

Did you know more than 5.8 million people in the UK are living with diabetes, and around 850,000 more don’t yet know they have it?

In one of my latest blogs, I’m looking at what you really need to know about diabetes, from recognising early signs and understanding the difference between type 1 and type 2, to how small, consistent lifestyle changes can help prevent or even reverse type 2 diabetes.

We’ll explore:
✨ How your GP tests for diabetes
✨ The role of genetics and lifestyle
✨ What the latest research says about prevention
✨ Practical steps to support your blood sugar balance

Diabetes prevention isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness and steady change, and this month is the perfect time to take that first step.

If you only do one thing today… do this 💜

Take five minutes to pause and breathe.

Deep, steady belly breathing is one of the simplest ways to calm your body’s stress response. It helps slow your heart rate, lower cortisol, and bring your body back into ‘rest and digest’ mode.

When stress becomes constant, it can affect everything from your sleep and digestion to your hormones.

So today, give yourself that five-minute reset. Sit somewhere quiet, breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, and feel your belly rise and fall.

Small, consistent moments of calm really do make a difference.
