Holistic Health & Functional Medicine

Nutritional Therapy + Herbal Medicine + Functional Testing

WORCESTER, WORCESTERSHIRE

As a registered Nutritional Therapist, Medical Herbalist, and Functional Medicine practitioner, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and time-honoured wisdom. Using advanced clinical tools, functional testing, and the latest research, I uncover the root causes of imbalance. At the same time, I draw from traditional diagnostics and ancient healing principles to craft a truly holistic, personalised health plan—honouring both the precision of modern medicine and the depth of traditional healing.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

Kate Berkeley can offer state of the art nutrigenomics testing and analysis through Lifecode GX.

EUDAIMONIA

Eudaimonia is more than just wellness—it’s about flourishing. It embodies self-acceptance, personal growth, meaningful relationships, autonomy, and a sense of purpose. True health isn’t just the absence of disease but the ability to thrive in all areas of life.

Through nutrition, functional medicine, and herbal support, I help my clients create the conditions for lasting well-being, empowering their bodies to restore balance naturally.

I was quite desperate when I went to Kate. I needed someone to make sense of a myriad of symptoms mainly peri-menopausal in my case. Kate works from a lovely office in her garden, she is very professional and took the time to get a detailed picture. My symptoms have much improved and we are working on eliminating them altogether. It does take commitment from the client, Kate will help guide you through and is always there to answer any questions.

I have suffered with tiredness for as long as I can remember. After countless blood tests where nothing was wrong and countless alternative therapists, I finally consulted Kate and have felt better than I have done in years. Kate is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I am currently working with Kate to resolve some health issues I think may be related to diet. In addition to gaining some knowledge about how nutrition affects the brain and in turn mental health, I would also like to pass on some nutritional thoughts and ideas to my clients. Kate is welcoming, professional and extremely knowledgeable and I would encourage anyone who is worried about their nutrition to contact Kate, but I would also go so far as to say, everyone could benefit from working with her.

In my experience, Kate in the first instance, is the person that puts you and your reasons of contacting her, first. That's very important in my opinion as a medical professional. She clearly recognises the importance of the situation and with me as someone who needed professional help to help my loved one, Kate comes across as a genuine professional that understands my dire straits situation and allowed her time freely, guiding me to help my loved one. Prior to our first meeting she took my worries for my loved one's health issue very seriously while maintained an encouraging tone that kept me positive and carry one.

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT DIET

15 April 2025

When we think about improving our health, the conversation so often starts—and ends—with food. People will cringe at parties and say, “I shouldn’t eat this or drink that in front of you.” But, you know what? I disagree. The joy of celebrating, the laughter, the sense of ease that comes from being with people you love—that’s worth far more than a tonne of wild-caught salmon. Real health isn’t just about what you eat. It’s about how you live . It’s about whether your body feels calm and rested. Whether your mind feels clear. Whether your days have space for connection, movement, and breath. These are the things that create true wellbeing—not perfection, but flow. Not restriction, but resilience. Yes, the food we eat matters. It can nourish, deplete, support or stress your body. But we are not machines with a list of required inputs, that will guarantee a specific outcome. We are living, feeling, energetic beings, constantly interacting with our environment—and our health reflects the whole of that interaction. That’s why some people eat all the “right” foods and still feel flat, anxious, bloated, or exhausted. Because food is only one piece of the puzzle.

MORE THAN SYMPTOMS, BEYOND THE LABS: HOW ANCIENT WISDOM REVEALS WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON

15 April 2025

This blog is the one closest to my heart — because it’s been an immense learning curve for me. As a Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine practitioner, I place science, lab tests, physiology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the highest esteem. I’ll admit, in the past, when hearing other therapists talk of doshas, energetics and constitutions, my sceptic’s eyes would roll. I saw constitution questionnaires as akin to the quizzes in Just Seventeen —a bit of fun, but not practical. I was drawn to evidence, clarity, and explanations that made sense. But then I came across a brilliant PhD called Sam Yanuck, while studying one of his deeply academic courses on immunology. After long, technical explanations of a pathology, his solutions were often surprisingly simple—and invariably included a herb or several. My curiosity was sparked. At first, I was still thinking in medical terms: a pill for an ill, a herb for a symptom. I wanted to match the herb to the condition, full stop. But I’ve come to understand that herbs don’t just act—they interact , and that depends entirely on the person they’re given to.

THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION

15 April 2025

Every thought, feeling, and emotional state has a physical echo in the body, a ripple of chemical messengers that you can sometimes sense in the wave of an adrenaline hit.
