Hi, I’m Sal Prothero
Clinical Nutritionist | Gut & Mental Health Specialist | Author | Presenter
I support adults in uncovering the root causes behind gut and mental health struggles so they can finally feel like themselves again.
And before anything else, I want you to know that I get it because I’ve lived it.
For years, I lived with relentless gut issues – bloating, constipation, discomfort and an equally relentless mind. I was always overwhelmed, unable to focus and constantly anxious. My brain never switched off.
In my twenties, sugar, coffee, alcohol and stress were part of my daily fuel. I couldn’t imagine functioning without them but deep down, I knew I wasn’t truly coping.
Everything began to shift when I discovered the power of nutrition, gut healing and lifestyle changes. Bit by bit, I began to feel clearer, calmer and more in control of my health.
When ADHD became part of the public conversation, I recognised myself in those stories. And I realised so much of what had helped me heal my gut was also helping me manage my mind.
That personal journey is what drives the work I do today. Because I know firsthand what it’s like to feel like nothing’s working and I also know that change is possible when we treat the root causes, not just the symptoms.
