Hi, I’m Whitney, your holistic fertility nutritionist.

Thanks so much for being here! Let me introduce myself. I’m Whitney Lodge, a naturopathic nutritional therapist and yoga teacher based in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex.

I graduated from the College of Naturopathic Medicine back in 2018 and since then I’ve completed a fertility mentorship programme with the amazing Angela Heap. I’ve also completed trainings with Leah Hechman including The Reproductive Microbiome and The Foundation Fertility Certificate. I will be completing Leah’s Advanced Foundation Fertility Certificate throughout the second half of 2024! Lastly, I have just completed LifeCode GX’s Practitioner Programme and am now a registered nutrigenomics practitioner.

Whilst nutritional therapy started out as a part-time vocation, I always knew it was only a matter of time before I finally followed my dreams and fulfilled nutritional therapy as a full-time career. I’ve always felt drawn to help and empower women to feel their best, particularly when it comes to hormones, cycle health and preparation for pregnancy. Even as a student without knowing of my passion just yet, I would attract clients with PCOS, hormone dysregulation, stress and fertility issues - with most looking to conceive at some point in the near future (if not already trying or having had multiple miscarriages and IVF). My clients chose my specialty in a way, but I also feel as though you teach best from experience. I too had cycle issues, covered up by the OCP, hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), possible polycystic ovaries (which I now know was HA), and a question around my fertility viability after losing my cycles for 2 years. Nutritional therapy changed my life and I’ve seen it change many others.

I conceived and birthed identical twins in 2020, and although the conception was spontaneous, it was still classed as a ‘high risk’ pregnancy. This triggered a deep dive into nutrition and how I could optimise my health further to ensure a safe and healthy full-term pregnancy and delivery. I knew nutrition and lifestyle were important for a healthy pregnancy, but I didn’t realise HOW important. If it there was something I could optimise for a full-term and healthy set of twins, I was doing it. I was shocked at how little nutrition and lifestyle support is offered during pregnancy and beyond, but I was equally as shocked at the poor advice given for pre-conception health for both men and women. After becoming a first-time mama, I soon realised how essential it was to be nourished from pre-conception to post-birth to survive the life changing experience that is motherhood.

I hear of so many struggling with fertility issues, but what angers and frustrates me the most is that not much investigation is done as to WHY there are fertility struggles. I’m your health investigator that leaves no stone unturned and I make it my personal mission to support you in optimising your health to nurture and sustain a healthy pregnancy.

Testimonials

“Whatever the outcome of my story, I know that I have done everything I could have done to support my health, because of the expert guidance I received from Whitney.”

‘Whitney was recommended to me by a good friend as I was about to embark on an IVF journey in my mid 40s, and I am so thankful she did. Where to start, Whitney's knowledge is incredible, her enthusiasm is amazing but for me, it was her empathy that shone. My journey wasn't easy, IVF in a foreign country via egg donor in my mid 40s. She was at times, quite frankly, my rock. She went above and beyond to support me and is still happy to answer my questions as I wait to find out whether my one viable embryo takes. Whatever the outcome of my story, I know that I have done everything I could have done to support my health, because of the expert guidance I received from Whitney. You were a god send, thank you for everything.’

“After 3 years of no periods, I got it back within days of working with Whitney!”

‘Whitney gives you realistic advice in regards to food and nutrition which was a game changer and easy to implement. Plus from the testing she recommended specific supplements (which some can be expensive but honestly made such huge changes for me straight away!). Whitney helped me through lifestyle/exercise advise, stress management and nutrition to get my health right… the most noticeable thing was how quickly I got my period back!

After 3 years of no periods, I got it back within days working with Whitney! For the first time in my life I had consistent 28 day menstrual cycles for 4 months and I swear it was because of this that I got pregnant again, literally, as soon as we tried!!Not only is my physical body feeling 10000x better by sorting out my gut health (even getting rid of a parasite!), my mental and emotional health has improved SO much too and Whitney has given me practical tools for life!’

“I would have zero hesitation in recommending Whitney to anyone, and do regularly preach about her!”

‘Without wanting to sound cliche, a short 3-month support package with Whitney over autumn 2022 (and her support beyond) has genuinely been life changing for me, and resulted in me having a knowledge base to maintain a lifestyle change to keep my symptoms at bay. Having suffered since a teenager with problematic cycles covered up by hormonal contraception by nonchalant GPs, I had finally had enough and reached out to Whitney for help. It was also at a time of high anxiety and panic attacks, which Whitney wove into her approach with me. It was so so refreshing to finally have my complaints met by her desire to actually get to the bottom of my issues and genuine investment in helping me. Whitney pushed for as many investigative tests to be done through my reluctant GP, but has also assisted me pursuing investigation through corporate health insurance too, something that can be really difficult to do without someone fighting your corner.  I would have zero hesitation in recommending Whitney to anyone, and do regularly preach about her!’

“I can honestly say it was the best decision and investment I made for myself and my baby.”

‘I started working with Whitney at the beginning of my third trimester. Having had a bumpy start to pregnancy I wanted some extra support and guidance to see me through the end of my pregnancy, birth and into my fourth trimester. At first I was concerned maybe I’d left it too late but Whitney reassured me that wasn’t the case. I can honestly say it was the best decision and investment I made for myself and my baby. Thank you so much for all of your support Whitney’

“I would never have found out things about my body and symptoms that I now know.”

‘I've worked with Whitney for about 8 months now. I have PCOS and wanted to support my body through a healthy pregnancy and get pregnant. Whitney was so supportive and understanding, she made changes to my diet but did it piece by piece so it wasn't overwhelming. I would never have found out things about my body and symptoms that I now know. Forever grateful to her, would highly recommend’

⁠— LILY

“Very thankful to Whitney for working with me over the last few months to reduce my PCOS symptoms.”

‘Very thankful to Whitney for working with me over the last few months to reduce my PCOS symptoms, insulin resistance and high cortisol levels, putting in place new diet and lifestyle practices. From the start, Whitney was diligent and reviewed all of my bloods in-depth, making recommendations on protocols based on her expert knowledge, identifying markers I would never have spotted and ones my doctor passed off as 'normal' when they weren't.’
