A Clinic Built Around You, Not a Meal Plan

Thistlemere began with one dietitian, a small consulting room and a big frustration: nutrition advice that ignored real life. Today our team helps hundreds of clients eat well without fear, guilt or bland chicken.

Meet Elena Marsh, Founder & Lead Dietitian

Elena is a registered dietitian with over a decade of experience across NHS clinics, sports nutrition and eating-disorder recovery. She founded Thistlemere after watching too many clients arrive confused by contradictory advice — and leave her room finally feeling heard.

Her philosophy is simple: the best nutrition plan is the one you can live with. Every Thistlemere programme carries that signature — rigorous on evidence, gentle on people.

  • Registered Dietitian (RD) with full clinical accreditation
  • Specialist in diabetes, gut health and weight management
  • Regular speaker on practical, stigma-free nutrition

What Guides Every Appointment

1

Evidence first

No fads, no detoxes, no miracle foods. Every recommendation traces back to current clinical research.

2

Food stays joyful

Celebrations, cravings and comfort food all have a place. We plan around your life, not against it.

3

Progress you can see

Energy, lab markers, habits and confidence — tracked together so change is visible and motivating.
