Dr Sara Pugh joins the Tower Clinic!

Hello, I’m Dr Sara Pugh and I help people improve their mental and metabolic health using psychiatric nutrition.

“A powerful way to change your hormones or brain chemistry is through food, because that’s what they get made from in the first place”

I help you discover the connection between your mental or physical symptoms and your diet, and to give you the information and inspiration you need to take control of your health.

I did my specialist AAFP accredited medical ketogenic diet and nutrition for mental health training with Dr Georgia Ede MD in the USA. Dr Ede is a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist specialising in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry and insulin resistance.

WHY is your body malfunctioning?

WHAT is on offer beyond medications or operations to help restore it to good health?

HOW do some people easily lose weight, overcome mental health problems or reduce/pain inflammation on certain diets?

WHICH hormone or chemical imbalances can lead to weight gain, pain or depression, even when you eat ‘healthy’?

If you have a persistent health problem, the first place to look is your diet and supplements, in detail.

If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of these, please in touch to see if I can help

  • Are you struggling with brain fog, depression, anxiety, bi-polar, anger or irritability?
  • Do you struggle with your weight, food addiction, bulimia or binge eating?
  • Are you disillusioned or confused about current medical and nutritional advice?
  • Are you on medication you feel is doing you no good or causing weight gain?
  • Do you have/are worried about developing diabetes or dementia?
  • Are you following a way of eating but not getting the health benefits you expected or are experiencing unusual symptoms?
  • Are you interested in a medical low carb, medical ketogenic diet or elimination diet but want to be guided?
  • Do you have another medical condition that you feel your diet or supplements might not be helping or even making it worse?

I am able to construct a way of eating for you to help you achieve your goals as well as take into account any psychiatric, blood pressure or diabetes medicines you might take. Some people find they need to reduce or discontinue their medicines after changing their diets.

I am not a medical Dr so you need to speak to your prescriber about your medication.

My background is biochemistry, my PhD was in molecular mechanisms and I have also been a hypnotherapist since 2012. I know that mental health and food are sensitive topics so I can help you on the emotional front too.

Reviews

“Sara Pugh has been one of the top biochemists and therapists to help me through recovering from chronic anxiety and depression. She has helped me understand why my previous ADHD medications may have caused my condition to worsen over the years.

Her abundant knowledge about the body and mind has been life changing and has helped me to finally find my peace in the middle of the storm! I would highly recommend her services to anyone going through any mental health condition”.

I cannot recommend Sara highly enough for advice and support on the keto diet and different types of fasting. As a life long calorie counter and a member of Slimming World for many years, I struggled to get below a certain weight. Feeling demoralised, I decided to take a totally different approach and asked Sara for a consultation and ongoing support.
Sara was with me every step of the way. Her qualifications and knowledge were particularly important, as I knew her advice was based on her in-depth understanding of the ketogenic lifestyle.

Sara provides a personalised consultancy, depending on individual needs, rather than a standard programme.

I now have the skills and confidence to maintain weight loss and enjoy my food so much more. Thanks so much Sara.
