About
Hello, I am Dr. Nina. I’m a Registered Nutritional Therapist, a qualified pharmacist, and I hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry. I specialize in gut health as well as pain and fatigue issues (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome).
I’ve always wanted to help people heal, which led me to train as a pharmacist. However, after more than five years of study, I began to notice that we, as a society, are overmedicating while getting sicker. With my education also covering herbal medicine, I soon realized that herbal remedies should be the first option before moving to pharmaceuticals.
Edinburgh, Scotland, is where I completed my PhD in Organic Chemistry (hence the Dr. in my title) and where I live with my husband and children today.
My personal health journey has led to my special interest in chronic conditions involving pain and fatigue, as my health drastically deteriorated after having my first child. I was constantly exhausted and in pain all over my body, to the point where I couldn't even get out of bed. I felt isolated, hopeless, and desperate to feel better. All I was offered were various antidepressants, without even a diagnosis. Desperate for improvement, I tried them all, but the side effects were horrible, and I felt even worse.
I knew that I had to take matters into my own hands. My research background meant that I love detective work and am great at it. So, I started digging for solutions using my knowledge in pharmaceuticals and organic chemistry (the building blocks of life). Having always suspected we are overmedicated, and with personal experience of the harsh side effects, I began to explore nutrition and lifestyle. This led me to the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, where I earned a Nutritional Therapist degree.
The superior results I’ve achieved for myself and my clients with this approach have been very exciting. I believe that your supermarket is your pharmacy, your kitchen is your lab, and you can learn to be your own scientist and harness the healing power of food.
