Her career has spanned NHS dietetic departments, corporate wellness consultancies, and private practice, giving her broad experience with diverse populations from clinical patients to high-performing professionals. Hannah possesses deep expertise in the gut-brain connection, microbiome health, and the emerging research linking digestive function to mental clarity and energy levels. She is uniquely positioned to evaluate where Ayurvedic dietary principles align with modern nutrition science and where they diverge, providing balanced guidance that respects traditional wisdom while demanding evidence. Her writing helps readers navigate confusing terrain including the differences between constitutional eating, seasonal adjustment, and the claims of various detox programmes. Hannah addresses practical concerns like affording quality food on a realistic budget and adapting traditional recommendations to British climates and available ingredients. She is passionate about sustainable, non-dogmatic approaches to plant-based eating that prevent the deficiencies sometimes seen in poorly planned vegan diets while supporting active yoga practice.
