Testimonials

Gut Health:

"When I first came to see Beverley, I could barely walk, suffered with severe gut issues, brain fog, sleep issues, migraines, skin infections, chronic pain and extreme fatigue amongst other things. With Beverley's expertise I managed to come off strong painkillers and opoids and changed my lifestyle and diet by eliminating problem foods. Beverley's approach is to find out the route cause of the issues and looks at the bigger picture then address each issue. Beverley was the biggest help and if it was not for Nourishing Insights I would not have been where I am today. When I first saw Beverley my aim was to graduate uni and I am delighted I achieved that this summer. Thanks again Beverley!"
Emma, Aberdeen

"I arranged an appointment with Beverley in desperation after years of gut issues, fatigue, low iron levels and anxiety.  Beverley identified straight away that my issues were connected with nutrition, specifically gluten (I have now been diagnosed with coeliac disease) and supported me in changing my diet to heal my body and support my wellbeing.  Within weeks I was feeling significantly better.  I love Beverley's holistic, knowledgeable and compassionate approach and felt very safe and supported."
Jenny, Aberdeenshire

"For the first time in my life I finally have the answers to my long-term health issues, thanks to Beverley.  The Nutritional therapy consultation, followed up with Food Intolerance testing, with a whole person approach has been the first time anyone has actually got to the source of my IBS without just treating the symptoms.   Changing my diet, and following Beverley’s nutritional recommendations means that now I am finally in control of my condition, and haven’t had a single episode since!   I have more energy, can eat and feel great knowing that I can now avoid the symptoms I used to get.  I cannot thank Beverley enough."  
A. Middleton Aberdeenshire

"We were delighted to stumble across Beverley at a time when a family member was in the throes of a bowel disease flare up. We knew that nutrition was crucial, but didn't know where to begin. Beverley pointed us in the right direction and, using her great expertise, she explained about the importance of dietary change focussing on anti-inflammatory foods along with supplemental support. This resulted in a phenomenal change for the better. Knowing that Beverley is at the end of a phone and is always willing to give advice has given us great confidence. We could not recommend her more."
Rosie Smith-Mearns Aberdeen.

"I just wanted to thank you for your very helpful nutritional advice which has enabled me to tackle my Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia/Sinusitis and Irritable Bowel issues. After following your suggested diet to heal my gut and after taking the various supplements recommended for 4 months earlier this year, I am so happy to say that I have seen a huge improvement in my health. I now feel more energy, have not had a fibromyalgia flare up with pain for several months, I have not suffered from my usual debilitating sinusitis and my bowel is functioning as normal."
Leanne Cardno Perth, Australia. 

"I can summarise my experience with Nourishing Insights in one word: transformational. 
After suffering for many years with a complex combination of ailments and having tried numerous treatments (NHS and complementary) I decided to try Nutritional Therapy. Within a few weeks, I started to feel an improvement and I have now not only got my symptoms under control but also discovered the source of my issues - something multiple tests, scans and other specialists had never managed to do.
The support has been outstanding, coupled with a down-to-earth approach.  In fact, everyone at Nourishing Insights is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I don't mind admitting that I've become something of an evangelist and have been recommending Nutritional Therapy to anyone who will listen! 
Thank you Nourishing Insights for giving me my life back."
Alison, Aberdeenshire

"I have learned so much about nutrition from Beverley has helped my IBS and Acid Reflux. Lots of kindness and understanding went a long way to helping with my anxiety also, thank you so much"
Margaret, Aberdeen

"I’ve been working with Beverley at Nourishing Insights team for a few years now – firstly for nutritional therapy and latterly for supplement advice. My husband has a dairy allergy and I have inflammatory bowel disease so having specialist advice from friendly and passionate advisors is really helpful for us both. Since then I have had ongoing discussions with Beverley with regards to supplements to support my condition and overall health and wellbeing which gives me peace of mind and means I can supplement my medication with natural remedies to support my condition. In addition to this I booked Beverley to host some wellbeing sessions at work for our team and these were really well received. I would highly recommend Nourishing Insights for trusted, knowledgeable support as part of any wellbeing regime."
Lisa, Aberdeen

"I came to Beverley after suffering years of debilitating stomach pain, constant fatigue, debilitating brain fog and a general feeling of malaise which was impacting my quality of life. After feeling like I wasn't getting answers with my gastro consultant, I worked with Beverley looking to get to root cause. The tests were hugely insightful as to what was going 'wrong' and the changes I have made through this process have significantly improved my sense of wellbeing and quality of life. I recommend the functional medicine approach to anyone looking to get to root cause of an issue, rather than just focus on managing symptoms."
Jenny, Aberdeenshire


Fertility:

"I just wanted to get in touch and thank you for all the help you gave me last year. I have no doubt that the changes we made following the Dutch test etc contributed to me conceiving my miracle boy. As you know, we had waited more than five years for him and had pregnancy losses and three rounds of IVF with poor outcomes. He was conceived just weeks after I made the changes and is a happy, healthy and gorgeous almost four month old. He was a whopper at 9lb 6oz! We couldn’t be happier.
Thank you so much for your expert advice and, just as importantly, your encouragement, which made me feel positive for the first time after many years of disappointment."
Sally, Glasgow

"When I first came to see Beverley, I was deficient in numerous vitamins and minerals. I had low energy as a result and was also struggling with various food intolerances. As I was about to embark on IVF, I was determined to get my health sorted out to enhance my chances of success. Beverley was very warm and supportive as well as very thorough in her approach and recommended I had some further blood tests via the G.P. I improved my Nutrition and absorption and believe the improvements I made enabled me to become pregnant! I'm so grateful for Nutritional Therapy and wish I had done it sooner!"
Jenny Esplin, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.

"I made an appointment with Beverley as I was struggling with underactive thyroid and had just been diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian Syndrome. I didn't fully understand the link between autoimmune disease and food intolerance although I had suffered IBS for years, so it was all making sense! I was keen to deal with my PCOS through diet and supplements instead of drugs and am delighted in my success. Through eating the right foods for me, and balancing my blood sugar I was able to lose 2 stone and sort my hormones out. The result of all this (which I have to say wasn't as hard as I had anticipated!), is that I am now expecting my first baby! Highly recommend Beverley and Nutritional Therapy which really is life changing."
Hannah, Aberdeenshire.

"I am so grateful to Beverley for all of her help. When I first met her I was having issues with miscarriages, stress, inflammation and overall bad health. We worked together to follow a diet, lifestyle and supplement programme which then turned things around for me within a mere few months. I then got pregnant and carried my healthy baby to term which was something I never thought could happen. I thoroughly recommend Beverley to others - she is extremely knowledgeable and nice."
Sophie, 37 - Gloucestershire 

Children's Health:

"Beverley has worked with my 4 year old daughter and myself a few times now and each time I have learnt something new. She is very knowledgable, thorough and helpful. My daughters eczema has improved as well as some change towards calmer. If you are prepared to make a change and discover some delicious food, then Beverley can help guide you to much improved health."
Rebecca Windridge, Aberdeenshire.

"Beverley and her daughter are amazing! They are very knowledgeable and clearly do a lot of scientific research to ensure that they give the most up-to-date info to their customers. There is no hard sell, they just genuinely want to help people! Their guidance has improved my own health and helped me get my little boys severe reflux under control."
Stephanie Clark, Aberdeen.

"I sought Beverley's help for our 11 year old daughter, who has always suffered with a poor digestive system. After taking her advice for 3 months, we have seen a massive change and our daughter is much happier in general. I highly recommend Beverley to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life through better nutrition. She has a lovely manner with children too."
Mara Sturton, Aberdeenshire. 

Cancer Recovery:

"Beverley is a very approachable and knowledgeable professional. She is personally invested in what she does and this enabled me to have confidence in her ability to help. Her counsel and dietary recommendations greatly contributed to my recovery from cancer. Warmly recommend."
Susanne, Grasse, France. 

"A friend recommended Neleta to me and I found her to be incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and she could answer all my questions. She has helped me so much with my diet and supplements after an early cancer diagnosis and I wanted to do the best I could for my body without taking medication. I had already switched from a vegetarian to vegan diet and thought I was a fairly healthy eater, but I have learned so much from Neleta and realised I wasn’t eating as well as I could have been. I now feel 20 years younger, have so much energy and I am sleeping much better.
After our initial zoom meeting I felt thoroughly inspired!"
Caroline, West Yorkshire

Skin Health:

“I am 58 and contacted Nourishing Insights in search of healing for PTSD due to working at the coal face during the pandemic. Rosacea on my face which was upsetting and relentless and stubborn weight which medics indicated was hormonal. After three months my gut health has begun to recover which has impacted my skin positively. My weight is reducing due to inflammatory foods being identified, and a change in diet, my mood is improving as a consequence of the above, as I understand my body and mind more fully. 
The journaling and meditation has become a part of my life now that has generated such positive change. Improved sleep, positivity, and hope. 
I would recommend working with Nourishing Insights  to anyone who is struggling with mental and physical overwhelm. 
Gail, Aberdeenshire 

"I went to see Beverley after she was recommended to me by several friends. I was having an absolutely horrendous time with a chronic skin condition that was ruling my life, and due to this I was also suffering from severe insomnia. After filling in a very thorough medical questionnaire, I had my first meeting with Beverley and I started an elimination diet.  In addition Beverley suggested suitable nutrients and probiotics for me, and advised me to take Epsom salt baths regularly. The improvement in all areas has been incredible and I am so grateful for her help, as I couldn’t have coped much longer with all these problems. Other medical professionals didn’t seem to be interested in getting to the root of my problems whereas Beverley did. Without doubt it was money well spent in order to get my health back. Would definitely recommend" Gillian Devlin, Aberdeen 

Energy and Wellbeing:

"I started working with Beverley in April 2020 and I have never looked back.  Beverley has taught me the importance of taking different vitamins and minerals and has encouraged me to try new foods which have enhanced my health.  Beverley is extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain things in simple terms, especially when it comes to understanding test results.  I don’t know where I would be without Beverley’s help, she really has brought me back to optimal health after suffering with hormonal imbalances for several years.  All of this has shown me that it isn’t just what we eat but also our lifestyle as a whole.  It feels great to be able to accomplish this without the use of medication, I feel much healthier and far more knowledgeable about what I am consuming.  Thank you Beverley! ​
Rachel, Aberdeen

"Since meeting with Neleta she has transformed the way I eat and all for the better. She has given such amazing practical advice and guidance that has transformed the way I look at my overall health and has helped me take control of it. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to get healthy and enjoy life to the fullest" 
Giselle, Moray

"My energy levels were low for some time and I decided to contact Beverley as I knew of her through a mutual friend. Basically, Beverly devised an eating plan using 'food as medicine'. My energy levels soared, I lost weight & my body feels so good! I feel much younger than my 46 years of age! Thank you Beverley for helping turn my life around :-)"
M. Walker Aberdeen​​​

"I first met Beverley Sarstedt when she was doing consulting for the health department in "Tesco" and even on that first occasion she gave me a lot of helpful advice about food supplements, vitamins and food products basing on what I told her about my health issues. Later I had a private appointment with her at Chelsea Clinic in Inverurie and after a nearly 2 hours' long very thorough discussion where I was asked and was able to ask a lot questions I came away with many more advice and suggestions to help me improve my health and resolve some issues. Beverley is very professional and attentive to details."
Rusudana Glonti, Aberdeenshire

"I went to see Beverley in September 2017 and have not looked back since, I went in to see her about generally feeling better, I was always run down, lethargic and couldn’t walk far with the dog, I thought I needed to do something about this and I keep fairly fit and wasn’t massively overweight but totally rubbish at cooking and understanding what I was eating.  Beverley helped me do just that, helped me understand what I needed to eat, ideas for food that I could do and I completed an intolerance test which proved that I was eating things that didn’t like me so much, I was intolerant to cows milk and eggs so now I've cut that out I have loads more energy and lost a stone and a half and can now play my favourite sport again, thanks to the help and knowledge I received at Nourishing Insights, thank you guys."   
A.Keith, Aberdeen

"Working with Nourishing Insights (NI) has been a truly positive and trans-formative experience for me. Don't get me wrong, you have to play your part, 'so to speak' through examining your own diet, lifestyle and environment to better understand the puzzle. But, by making changes and sticking to them you begin to see the effects while also learning a heck of a lot about your body. NI have been great in their support and recommendations to achieve this. 
The team are both approachable and knowledgeable and through NI I was able to start understanding my own health and to take steps towards maintaining and improving it." 
Stuart M, Glasgow

"It’s a few years since I first consulted Beverley. Her functional medicine approach to health issues makes so much more sense to me. Beverley is concerned with finding the root cause of a health issue. She is very easy to chat with and extremely knowledgeable. I have recommended Beverley to many people, all with varying health issues, and no one has been disappointed with her approach and advice."
Wendy, Aberdeenshire

"One of the best things I have ever done is consult Beverley at Nourishing Insights and act on the information and advice she has given me.  What a difference to my nutritional health and wellbeing!  Many thanks to all the team at Nourishing Insights!" 
Moira, Aberdeenshire

"We contacted Beverly the  start off feb 2020 for advice for my husband after been diagnosed with cancer and a long stay in Roxburgh . Beverly advised on nutrition and vitamins to help him on his journey her knowledge on foods and what to eat and not was amazing and what vitiams he should take . Which is very important when dealing with cancer."
Melania, Aberdeenshire

Respiratory Health:

​"I have had fantastic advice. I can't believe what a difference in my asthma. I have been treating it for 5 years with medication and it helps but doesn't stop my cough, within 4 days of following elimination diet and relevant supplements, I feel my symptoms have improved so much. I have also done the food intolerance test and I am happy that this will definitely help with my symptoms. The asthma clinic nurse was surprise to hear that I am off my medication for 3 weeks now and my peak flow was so much higher that ever before. And hardly any cough, so I am so grateful for the help I have received."
Patricia Coward, Aberdeenshire. 

"Not agreeing with the path I was being taken down through conventional medicine to treat a chronic sinus condition (a 6 week course of antibiotics) I decided to seek an ‘alternative' view that I hoped would identify and address the root cause of my condition and not just treat the symptom. Literally within 3 minutes of speaking with Beverley,  I knew I had done the right thing.  An initial chat  with Beverley literally gave me the Nutritional Insights that I'd been looking for for so long; answering more questions in the few minutes than I'd had in the previous 9 months with various conventional healthcare professionals, that I knew this was the right path for me. Little did I know that the consultations (and the plan I was to follow) would improve my health and general wellbeing in far more ways than just resolving my sinus problem. 
 During my first consultation with Beverley she was able to demonstrate through her analysis of the detailed questionnaire you are asked to complete, that not just my sinus problem but multiple seemingly unconnected issues where all related to the one, root cause. Things I'd lived with for all my adult life that you learn to live with were all linked to this one issue.  After following her advice for some months now, I cannot explain the difference this has made to me. I would highly recommend Nourishing Insights to anyone – in fact I am running out of family members to give a ‘Consultation with Beverley’ as a gift for their birthday!"
Susan, Aberdeen.

Autoimmune Support:

"Highly Recommend Nourishing insights. I have been consulting with Beverley and her lovely team. Her passion lies within the Autoimmuine conditions and helping people manage this holistically. I only started a month ago and am already seeing the benefits. Beverley is very patient and a very good listener and has helped bring clarity to everything that is going on with my health. It is a great place to start if you are looking on nutritional advice to manage your life and any conditions whether diagnosed and undiagnosed." 
Nisha Pamidimukk, Aberdeen​

"I would highly recommend Beverley. She helped me through a difficult time with my gut health and autoimmune issues. I have hypothyroidism and suffered from IBS, bloating, inflammation, weight gain, joint pain and was breaking out in regular skin rashes. After a consultation with Beverley and food allergy testing she explained the results and recommended a plan and course of supplements.  After 3 months I lost had lost weight and began to feel so much better and now know which foods to avoid.  I have recommended Beverley to family and friends who have also benefited from her advice. Her daughter Harriette was also extremely helpful to my daughter when she needed infant reflux advice."
Linda, Aberdeen

"I saw Beverly for a consultation after feeling I was continually tired and at times feeling the physical symptoms of anxiety and periods of poor sleep. I have an under active thyroid and put a lot of the symptoms down to that.  
Beverly was so thorough with the consultation and very knowledgeable with her advice on the changes I should make to my diet and the supplements I should take. It wasn’t long before I felt real benefit from the changes. I feel so much better and have continued to seek advice from both Beverly and Harriette, who are both very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

At times I do find myself ‘straying’ from the good habits but the information pack I received at the beginning also allows me to go back over things and ‘reset’.

I have a demanding job and like to keep up a busy social life. I feel that Beverly’s advice has allowed me to feel much better within myself, both physically and mentally.  I have recommended a number of friends to nourishing insights as I would like others to feel the benefits I have. 

Thank you guys."
Kerry, Aberdeen

"What can I say about these gorgeous lovely ladies, except thank you for all your knowledgeable advice and support over the last few years. 

Last year I spoke to Beverley about my thyroid. I have struggled with underactive thyroid for many years. I started to experience Inflammation in my joints, low energy and going through stress was not helping. Beverley talked me through functional medicine practice, which addresses the root cause of disease by focusing on restoring health. I work for a probiotic company and have a very good understanding about the link between autoimmune disease and food intolerance.

Beverley advised me by cutting out Gluten, dairy and sugar from my diet and eating low inflammatory foods would have such a massive and positive effect on my whole wellbeing. I can honestly say she was spot on! By making dietary changes taken the right foods and supplements, the result of all this has been absolutely amazing!

I am thankful and grateful to Beverely for all her amazing advice, support and help. I highly recommend Beverley and her Nourishing Insights team, to anyone wanting to make these changes for a better quality of life. You will not regret it; our health is so important and Beverley and her lovely team will help guide you to better health and advice."
Ghalzala, Glasgow

Joint Health

I reached out to Beverley interested to try another approach to managing my symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis.
Beverley really opened my eyes to understanding and embracing the lifestyle changes required to achieve wellbeing with an autoimmune condition. Beverley's honest approach allowed me to tackle the root cause of my autoimmune and related conditions head-on and without gaining such powerful knowledge, I would not have seen such drastic improvements to my health. 
At last I've been able to enjoy the benefits of early morning swimming as my joint mobility has never been better and even more telling is the amazing outcome of my recent CRP blood test - having reduced my readings from 55 down to a 6! 
I highly recommend Beverley, her support and guidance is truly invaluable!

Chronic UTI

It was by chance I found Nourishing Insights whilst researching Interstitial Cystitis (IC) on the liveutifree site. I came across the Ruth Kriz videos which was the first time an explanation of this condition had made sense in the 13 years I'd been living with it. I had been told 'its incurable, you just have to manage the symptoms' and here was Ruth explaining that it can actually be treated. I remember saying to myself 'this is who I need to treat me!' When I found out Nourishing Insights worked with Ruth it was a no brainer. 

When I came off of the discovery call with Beverley, I was in tears - happy tears! Finally someone understood IC/recurrent UTIs and how to treat them and it was then I had a hint of real hope of a better quality of life. 

I won't go into detail here on treatment specifics but am happy to talk to anyone that would like to hear about my experience. 
I started on the UTI package July 2022 and thanks to the  testing, we have discovered multiple embedded infections (I had tested not long prior to this at the GP and with a well known UTI specialist both of whom came back with a negative test). Finally I could see the root cause of years of pain. Each time I'm treated for an embedded infection the better my bladder feels and a step closer I am to being symptom free. My journey continues but I have gone from having flares once or twice a month to twice a year. I have my life back thanks to both Beverley and Neleta and can get through most days without having to think about my bladder and for anyone that has IC/recurrent UTIs you'll understand how significant that is. 

Neleta and Beverley are amazing and very supportive. Their knowledge is incredible and they come at treating UTIs from a scientific way through specialist testing alongside nutritional therapy always supporting the gut microbiome throughout which is so very important after the lifetime of antibiotics I've had in the past. I cannot express how truly grateful I am that I found them. 
Kerri, Cornwall

“Watching a YouTube  ‘Live UTI Free’  interview with Beverley has been life-changing for me.
I had chronic uti infections for very many years with the consequent pain, lack of sleep and disruption to daily life. The usual NHS protocols just didn’t work. I didn’t get proper tests and I became intolerant of the standard antibiotics, which didn’t clear the infections anyway.
I lost faith I’d ever feel well again and I started looking into alternatives. Taking the functional nutrition route with Beverley has been remarkable, both for my bladder and my general health. Her knowledge, patience and calm assurance has worked wonders.
I sincerely thank Beverley and Ruth Kriz for their commitment and ongoing research, it is life-changing.”
Jane, Yorkshire
