About Me
I’m Hannah Poulton; founder of Gut Instincts Functional Nutrition, FxNA Certified Functional Nutrition Coach, and AADP Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner
Until a few years ago I was a Londoner, I was single and lived a fast‑paced life as a fashion publicist. Then a road trip in the USA changed my life forever and I now live in Nashville, Tennessee with my growing family. I am a wife, a mum, a step‑mum and founder of Gut Instincts Functional Nutrition, a practice I juggle along with the full time care of my beautiful daughter Olympia - yes I don’t sometimes believe this all happened either!
I’ve always been drawn to unconventional health approaches — I was the one handing out herbal remedies in the office kitchen back in London. Conventional medicine has its place and saves lives, but its protocol-driven model can miss foundational factors. Being told to “take a pill and move on,” or hearing “it’s all normal” when I knew something felt wrong, frustrated me — especially when other symptoms were dismissed because they fell outside a practitioner’s narrow scope.
When I moved to the USA and settled in to life of our little growing family, my eyes were opened to the epidemic of chronic health conditions that were every where I looked; even in my own home. I know REALLY young children with ADHD, Thyroid conditions, Celiac disease, Autism, Allergies … I know parent’s trying so hard to support their children whilst struggling themselves. The endless appointments, the fights with insurance, medication is handed out, rarely without some form of side effect, more medication is given for those, the stress all this brings and still results are lacking.
WHY?
The root causes and the foundations they grow from are not addressed
The fact that every single human body is unique and will react and behave differently is not addressed
The fact that that all the systems in our AMAZING bodies are connected, and influence each other, is not addressed
Making small changes in the foundations of our health is how we learn to support our body’s natural ability to heal, how we restore the resilience we are capable of and lead to the longevity we crave.
The plan is often simple, not always easy, but with compassionate, step by step support we can get you there.
Feeling less than 100% should not be our normal
Our children deserve better; we deserve better
