Amanda Hamilton is a leading nutritional expert and named one of the UK’s top five "Super-Nutritionists". A well-established professional speaker, she is the author of several leading books on nutrition including number one Amazon bestseller, The G Plan Diet, and has also been at the forefront of some of the most exciting wellness and nutrition trends, having pioneered fasting-based programmes and gut-health retreats.
Prior to her professional training as a registered Nutritional Therapist Amanda was a BBC TV presenter and print journalist and she remains regularly engaged with media, communication and educational projects.
Amanda focusses on the ‘how-to’ of nutrition and lifestyle change, rather than just the ‘why’, and provides practical, tangible, and accessible action-points for individuals to embrace and enhance their well-being. With a fundamental belief in a truly holistic approach, remaining open-minded rather than dogmatic has never felt more important.
Over and above the principles of good nourishment, quality sleep and movement as medicine, a personal approach is always needed. What's right for one person isn't always suited for another.
An associate member of the Royal Society of Medicine, Amanda has set up the app-based community programmes, most notably The Lean Routine focusing on women’s health and wellbeing across nutrition, fasting, movement and mindset. The programme has evolved to providing organisations with health education and support for their female staff.
Media
A well-known BBC TV presenter, Amanda has presented and produced a range of programmes focusing on nutrition and well-being, including The Truth About..., How to Live Longer and The Spa of Embarrassing Illnesses. She also spent many years co-hosting BBC’s Something for the Weekend live TV show.
Exercise and Sport
Exercise is a key aspect of Amanda's holistic approach to health and wellbeing. She competes internationally at singles badminton, representing Scotland after a near-25 year break from the sport. A qualified Pilates and Barre teacher, she is currently completing her Personal Training qualification. Her classes run within The Lean Routine programme and during residential retreats. She has also trained in yoga and meditation during a sabbatical in India.
Nutrition Philopsophy
Amanda's approach to food is first and foremost realistic - lots of plants, farm to table, minimal processing and sustainability. She adds in gut-friendly foods and fasting-based protocols for wider health benefits. She's hugely passionate about making good nutrition more accessible to all.
