Welcome to Kate Arnold Nutrition

“Kate, I had to write to tell you how much you have changed my life. You have this amazing capacity to cut through all the nonsense and somehow fitted right between my GP and me. You’ve steered me on the right course when so many did not. Your sensible down to earth, no nonsense approach made it clear to see where I needed to go. I was so confused and so miserable and so ill, and now… well I can’t believe it but I’m fine and I’ve taken the knowledge that you’ve given me and I know it last with me for the rest of the my life. Thank you for giving my family back their mum.”

“Hi Kate, Been bursting for some time now and just had to email you – I’m now 8st 6oz (but I was ridiculously active yesterday so it might be a blip) and am all but off the citalopram – only 5mg a day now so in a week or so they will be NO MORE. I think I have more energy now than I have had since becoming a parent – over 20 years ago. Sad on the one hand – a lot of lost time – but it’s so good on the other. When I was rolling around in cycles of depression the best I could hope for was surviving each day. Life was something to be endured. But now I’m wringing so much out of each day and have so much I want to do and just don’t have the time for – creative projects as well as all the stuff that simply has to be done. Not so long ago, I used to have to prioritise what needed to be done each day – because whatever I hadn’t achieved by early afternoon would have to be left until the next day, because I wouldn’t have the energy. Now, I just go on and on and on! Have to stop myself! I’d never have believed this could happen. I can remember sitting down with a psychiatric nurse a few years ago, weeping in despair when she asked me what I would do if the miracle happened and I could wake up the next day and be free of depression. It seemed like an impossible dream. But here I am – not remotely depressed – and whilst I’m still capable of feeling pretty crap sometimes it’s not the same, because my foundations are stronger. What gets me is that it’s actually been so easy – once I had your expert help. But there’s no use feeling resentful that it didn’t happen earlier because I probably wasn’t ready. We’re funny creatures and there’s so much at play, so much that isn’t conscious. The right thing happens at the right time. I’m just so glad I didn’t have to slide into premature old age and being a fat cronk, which was very definitely happening! You’ve given me back to myself!”

Thank you so much Kate for all of your time and help, you make it all so interesting and easy to understand and I know I am now on the right path.Carry on educating the nation wont you….this is the way forward , you’re an inspiration

Good Morning Kate,I am so grateful to have come across Kate on my Instagram feed, purely by accident. She was talking about Chronic UTI and nutrition and seemed very well informed about my condition. whereas other dieticians and my GP hadn’t even heard of it, let alone know how to treat it. I am under a specialist and doing well but my microbiome was really starting to struggle with the antibiotics. The symptoms were becoming painful and embarrassing, accompanied by awful fatigue. Talking to Kate she understood immediately what was going on with me and was so sympathetic to my situation. We made changes to my diet, had blood tests done and introduced any supplements that were necessary along with a probiotic. The change in me has been nothing short of remarkable! The extreme pain and bloating has completely gone, my energy has returned and I feel hopeful that I’m now strong enough to kick this infection. What really shocked me was how quickly I felt better, I honestly can’t thank you enough Kate, you are very good at what you do!

Hi Kate,I hope you are well. I just read your Facebook post about slimming clubs and thought that I’d let you know how I’m doing with my weight and fitness, in response to seeing this. I have lost about 3.5 pounds since I last saw you and am very much hoping to slowly continue with the weight loss. More importantly I continue to exercise about 5 times a week and am now running for 25 mins, 3 times a week. I hope to do my first Parkrun soon. In my latest fitness test, my pbs had improved considerably and I have lost 10 cm off my waist during the last 10 months. My personal trainer is really pleased that my weight loss is small because this indicates that my body composition is changing. Most importantly I am happy. The little voice that tells me I need to be skinny is gradually becoming quieter and I am so pleased to be fit and healthy. I now concentrate on eating well and I try my best to eat nutritious food irrespective of calorie intake. Last week a heard a lady talking about her food diary to a trainer at the gym. They added up her calorie intake and I heard them say that she was only eating 200 calories a day. She was about my age, was extremely thin, looked very unhealthy and dare I say it, old! Previously I was someone who periodically joined slimming clubs, and I starved myself in order to reach my goal, feeling a failing a failure each time the scales told me that I had put on even a small amount of weight. Thank you so much for your insight and help during the summer. I am so grateful both for my healthy body and my piece of mind. I am recommending you to all of my friends!

“After grappling with digestive and weight problems for years, Kate’s advice has led me to much better health and five stone weight loss.”

I’m doing really well, thank you. I managed to get the flare back under control by sticking with the diet that we discussed; prior to working with you once I flared there was no way back except for medication. Again, I’m hopeful that the better health that you’ve helped me to achieve will help to mitigate that. My skin is so much better and although I’m still exhausted by the evenings all in all my energy, resilience and positivity are back and I’m so grateful. I’m well aware that this is a lifelong illness but am so overwhelmingly grateful to you – you honestly have brought me back from the darkest of places and empowered me to manage this without the need for immunosuppressants/strong steroids. Thank you,

I’ve always thought I knew a fair bit about healthy foods, nutrients, vitamins etc, but clearly did not have a very good understanding of what worked best for me. Your comment about “not all calories being equal” really resonated with me as did the not counting calories or religiously weighing myself; I’d previously been a slave to the scales and to logging calories but not anymore!!!You’ve busted myths, allayed my fears and simplified all the “stuff” I’d previously read in diet/nutrition books. And your common-sense approach has been invaluable.Kate you are a marvel, the wealth of knowledge, experience and support you’ve imparted has given me the strength to continue with this wonderful new healthy lifestyle and for the first time in decades I feel in control of my own wellbeing.Finally no longer will I accept my health/weight issues are purely due to ageing, that is no longer a barrier for improving my health and wellbeing.

Kate, I wanted to email to thank you hugely for all you have done for me. I was talking to some friends about you and they asked what exactly did you do and I said well, she just fixed everything. When they asked me to expand I kind of listed out all the different things you set in place and I thought said list might make you laugh. 1. You listened. 2. You didn’t think I was mad. 3. You were 100% behind me. 4. You galvanised my GP. 5. You introduced me to a fabulous consultant who listened to me, didn’t think I was mad and was 100% behind me. 6. You gave me my power back. 7. You taught me so much stuff. 8. Any problem that arose in the NHS or any other place, you seem to fix as well – not sure how you did that. In conclusion I’ve decided that you are also a fixer. I’ve told everyone about you and I’m so pleased to have found you. Someone up there was looking down on me the day I googled you. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
