Lorraine Cooney, Registered Dietitian
GUT HEALTH & NUTRITION SPECISLIST WITH 20+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
BEST SELLING AUTHOR of Gut Feeling, a low FODMAP recipe book and recipe guide.
Compassionate and knowledgeable DIETITIAN,
engaging SPEAKER, Guest LECTURER
My name is Lorraine and I am passionate and experienced in helping people find relief from digestive issues. I am highly skilled and knowledgeable in the digestive health space and am recognised as a specialist in my role. I completed the Kings College London Low FODMAP training and co-authored the Low FODMAP book, Gut Feeling, which was published in 2017.
I have also had my fair share of gut problems! After feeling more and more bloated and constipated beyond my first pregnancy (about 125 moons ago ;-)), I knew that something was up. Even with dietetic training and experience (!) I remembers feeling confused about what food to eat and being unable to trust my body, and more specifically my stubborn bowel. Out of necessity, I deep dived into the literature to understand the complexities of these symptoms and subsequent therapeutic interventiosn that could help manage the ‘making-me-feel-ill’ and ‘getting-me-down’ symptoms.
Thankfully I finally did discover my root causes and how to manipulate my diet and lifestyle to help manage symptoms, which was just such a massive relief. Being able to rely on ones gut to function properly is a beautiful thing!
I wants to help you achieve the same, but without the time wasting on the merry go round of inappropriate, generic or confusing information. I will guide you through my signature processes so you can live a more fulfilling and symptom free life.
