Stuck after years of dieting?

I help women understand why weight feels resistant — and restore metabolism so their body can respond again.

I work with women who have dieted for years and know their body needs a different approach in midlife. My focus is restoring metabolic health so weight, energy, and appetite can regulate naturally.

Still stuck afLet’s find out why your body isn’t responding — and what it actually needs now.

Why Dieting Backfires

Most people begin their nutrition journey wanting weight loss.

However, when weight loss becomes the primary goal, it often leads to short-term fixes - such as eating less, cutting out more foods, and pushing harder. These strategies backfire, creating stress that raises cravings, disrupts blood sugar, drains energy, and slows metabolism. Your body responds this way because it’s trying to protect you.

While weight loss still dominates the conversation, the medical and nutrition world are finally shifting their focus to metabolic health, a powerful approach that supports energy, longevity, and overall wellbeing, not just the number on the scale. It helps balance energy, reduce cravings, improve focus, and naturally guide the body toward an optimal weight, all while building long-term wellbeing.

When this foundation is in place:

  • Energy feels steadier

  • Cravings naturally ease

  • Focus and clarity return

  • Weight often changes naturally

  • Long-term health and longevity improve

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:

  • You try to eat “well” but feel tired or unsatisfied

  • Cravings feel stronger the more you restrict

  • You overthink food and second-guess your choices

  • Your weight, energy, or digestion feel unpredictable

  • You’re tired of starting again

  • Your blood tests are 'normal' but you are not feeling optimal

  • You're working with your doctor, but you also need a therapeutic diet to support your health

It’s a sign your body needs support.

Hi, I m Karolina

I work with women who have tried dieting to lose weight and are starting to realise their body needs a different approach now.

You might recognise yourself if:

  • Dieting hasn’t helped your weight in the long term

  • You feel fed up, tired, or disconnected from your body

  • Food takes up too much mental space

  • You’re doing your best, but things still feel hard

  • You don’t want another diet — you want answers

  • You want change that feels supportive, not punishing

My work focuses on metabolic health and eating psychology, because weight, appetite, and how you feel in your body are shaped by more than food alone.
Hormones, stress, and years of dieting all matter.

I don’t offer quick fixes or rigid plans.
I help you understand what’s actually going on in your body, and how to support it so things can start to shift again.

I work with clients in person in West Byfleet and online.

If you are looking for a top-notch specialist to improve your eating habits, and overall well-being, and embrace a healthy diet, Karolina is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her services. Thank you, Karolina!
