About me

Hello and welcome to Devon Nutrition, the website of Exmouth Nutritionist Hazel Pelham.

Having started life as an Engineer, I was inspired to study nutrition after a change of diet helped me to recover from Crohn's Disease. I trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition under Patrick Holford and graduated with distinction in 1997. Since then I have run busy practises in The Midlands and Devon.

I like to work with clients in a practical and supportive way. I'm not a fan of restrictive or puritanical eating habits. I simply aim to provide workable solutions to health problems by focusing on good food and simple supplements. I believe that nutrition is a very undervalued science in today's world. Giving the body the right raw ingredients for health is a fundamental step in the healing process.

Anyone can benefit from improved nutrition and it doesn't have to mean giving up all your favourite foods in favour of tofu and rice cakes.

I work with clients of all ages from babies with colic, to pensioners with macular degeneration. Each programme is personally written to take into account the client's needs and circumstances. Having had two children of my own since qualifying (now aged 19 and 18) I know how difficult it can be to get kids to eat at all, let alone healthily. Having said that, children seem to respond very quickly to a dietary approach, and a consultation can be a useful way to get them involved in food choices.

I am currently practising in Exmouth and also via phone, Zoom and Skype. Whether you are looking for help with a particular health issue, or simply feel it's a good time for a review of your diet or the supplements you take, I'd love to hear from you.
