- Dr Nicholas has been amazing throughout my journey. My life has changed so much for the better with his guidance and medical knowledge. I was struggling on the day to day before Dr Nicholas' intervention and know the change is night and day. I can't put into words how thankful I am for his guidance. Personally I couldn't recommend him enough, he is always proffesional yet also personable and approachable.
- The experience that I had in my consultation was very high quality, detailed and professional. I felt listened to and the report that was discussed was insightful and met my needs.
- The Friday morning sessions were really helpful, especially the meal prep and recipe ideas for all meals. I gained a better understanding of improving my protein intake at each meal. The clinicians also instilled a strong sense of positivity, which helped me feel supported, motivated, and able to move forward with confidence.
- After 4 yrs of my son being unwell & appointments that led to more tests & no remedy, Dr Peat was the first person who truly listened. He looked at my son as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. He had become disengaged & felt nobody cared. As his mother, I knew something wasn’t right, but felt dismissed as an over-anxious parent. Dr Peat accepted the seriousness of his situation, showed genuine care & is now guiding him on a clear path to recovery, which my son is happy to engage with.
- I approached UCU for expert guidance on an Autoimmune Protocol diet to manage my psoriatic arthritis. I was impressed by their depth of knowledge, science-based approach & personalised support. The programme was transformative, boosting energy & supporting significant weight loss
