helping women over 40 to feel their best
Meet The Team
Lara Seago
Founder, Registered Nutritional Therapist, and Certified Health Coach
Having previously struggled significantly with her own hormone journey and seeing the positive impact nutritional therapy made. Lara was inspired to share what worked with her and help as many women as possible to overcome their health and hormonal challenges, hence the birth of Nutrition for Vitality.
Having lost her own mum to cancer when she was just one, Lara later became passionate about working with cancer patients, and supporting them, alongside their mainstream treatment with personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Lara believes a truly integrative approach provides the best chances for the client, and there is plenty of research suggesting the right nutrition and lifestyle strategies may significantly improve patient outcomes.
Lara is also experienced in supporting digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, long COVID, skin conditions, and weight management.
Lara prides herself on being approachable and relatable to clients, whilst also being extremely thorough, leaving no stone unturned to support her clients to achieve the best possible results.
Lara has previously written for several publications, and also works as an assessment marker for the renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition.
Lara has a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy from the College of Naturopathic Nutrition, a Health Coach Certificate from Zest for Life, and has completed the NTEC certified Systems Approach to Cancer course created by Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel, which sets a new standard in cancer nutrition education in the UK.
Sophie Lett
Registered Nutritional Therapist
Sophie is an experienced nutritional therapist, with a special interest in women’s health and hormone related conditions. She supports women struggling with symptoms most commonly associated with mid-life, including low energy and mood, stress, poor digestion, heavy or painful periods, poor sleep and weight gain to name a few.
Sophie is passionate about helping women feel more in control of their body, giving them targeted nutrition and lifestyle tools to help support their health and ultimately make them feel better.
As well as running her own private clinic, Sophie has worked as part of the clinic team at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) in London, where she studied for 4 years prior to that. More recently she has completed an integrative cancer care course and certification for nutrition professionals, which qualifies her to safely and effectively support clients with or recovering from cancer.
She is a member of both the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
Sophie lives near Winchester and is a mum of two, so is used to the juggle that modern mid-life brings. She readily admits that she is no master chef, but loves to cook from scratch and keeps an open mind when it comes to all foods – no diets, but balance is key! Getting outdoors to run or walk is one of her favourite ways of keeping active, healthy and sane, as well as practicing yoga.
