Hillstart Nutrition

HillStart Nutrition, Award-Winning Nutritionist in Lichfield.

Personalised nutrition that looks at the whole picture

Feeling tired, bloated or simply not quite yourself can be frustrating, especially when there’s so much conflicting health advice around. HillStart Nutrition helps clients move beyond guesswork with personalised nutrition and lifestyle support that considers their symptoms, health history, routines and individual goals.

Founder Wendy Hill is a qualified naturopathic nutritional therapist, nutrition coach and nutrigenomics practitioner. She is also a member of BANT and registered with the CNHC. Named Menopause Nutritionist of the Year 2025 for the West Midlands, Wendy specialises in supporting women through midlife, perimenopause and menopause, with particular expertise in hormone balance, gut health, energy and healthy ageing.

One-to-one nutritional therapy in Lichfield

HillStart Nutrition’s one-to-one Signature packages provide structured support over eight, ten or twelve weeks. Each begins with a detailed health questionnaire and an in-depth consultation, followed by a personalised protocol covering food, lifestyle and, where appropriate, supplements or functional testing.

Depending on the package selected, clients may also receive follow-up consultations, regular check-ins, WhatsApp or email support, personalised recipes and access to the Fabulous and Female membership. The focus is always on manageable, sustainable changes. Wendy understands that clients have families, work commitments and social lives, so there’s no expectation of spending hours cooking separate meals or following an unrealistic regime.

Gut health programmes and functional testing

The HillStart 28-Day Transformation Programme offers meal plans, recipes, shopping lists, coaching resources, community support and two individual calls with Wendy. Rather than being promoted as another weight-loss diet, the programme concentrates on gut health, digestion, energy, sleep and long-term habits.

Advanced functional testing can also be arranged to explore areas that may be contributing to ongoing health concerns. Available options include genetic profiling, microbiome testing, food sensitivity testing, hormone and cortisol panels, blood analysis and essential fatty acid testing. Results are explained during a personal consultation, helping clients understand what the information means and how it may guide their next steps.
