Hi! I’m Dr. Giovanna Maraula, your Functional Nutritionist and Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner.

For years, I battled bloating, digestive issues, and fatigue that disrupted my life—from university days to settling in the UK. Frustrated by failed solutions, I discovered the power of addressing the root cause—and transformed my health and energy.

Dr. Giovanna Maraula

Personal Story

For years, I battled digestive issues, bloating, and fatigue—symptoms that followed me through university and worsened after moving to the UK. Despite endless appointments, tests, and “quick-fix” supplements, nothing seemed to work.

Determined to take control, I turned to science—studying nutrition, gut health, and hormonal imbalances. My journey led me to uncover the root causes of chronic issues, transforming not just my own health but also my purpose.

Now, I help others do the same—finding lasting solutions through personalised nutrition and sustainable lifestyle changes.

Formal Training

I hold a PhD in Neuroscience and a Master’s Degree in Cellular & Molecular Biology, supported by advanced postgraduate studies in Functional Nutrition, Nutrigenomics, Nutraceuticals, and Lifestyle Medicine.

I’m a Certified Nutritional Therapist (BANT, CNHN, FHT) and a HeartMath® Certified Practitioner, specialising in stress management, hormonal imbalances, and self-regulation techniques.

My training also includes courses in ketogenic diets, gut health, thyroid management, and fertility nutrition. With over a decade of clinical and research experience in chronic diseases, I’ve developed evidence-based strategies that combine modern science with holistic health principles.

I blend biochemistry, physiology, and functional medicine to help you achieve sustainable health, balance, and long-term vitality.

The Core of My Approach

I focus on healing from within by addressing the root causes of your health concerns—whether it’s gut imbalances, hormonal shifts, inflammation, or stress. My evidence-based method combines functional nutrition, targeted lifestyle changes, and natural remedies to restore balance and help you feel your best again.

Here's What My Approach Covers

  • Gut Health Reset – Heal your gut to improve digestion, reduce bloating, and restore microbiome balance.
  • Hormonal Harmony – Support women’s health, balance hormones, and improve fertility naturally.
  • Detox and Cleanse – Remove toxins, enhance liver health, and support sustainable energy.
  • Stress and Sleep Recovery – Calm the nervous system, improve sleep cycles, and combat fatigue.

How My Method Works

Rather than relying on quick fixes or one-size-fits-all plans, I take a personalised approach to create solutions that fit your body’s needs.
You’ll learn how to:
  • Choose the right foods and strategic combinations to nourish your body.
  • Restore balance through simple, effective lifestyle habits.
  • Support your hormones and gut health naturally.
  • Build a routine that’s sustainable, not restrictive.

My goal? To help you understand your body, take control of your health, and feel energised, healthy, and confident—without sacrificing the joy of eating well.
