Andrea Hardy
Andrea Hardy Nutrition
Andrea Hardy is a nutritional therapist who works with people who've been told their health issues are just something they need to learn to live with, or that their test results are "normal" when they know deep down something isn't right.
She looks at every aspect of a client's life to work out what's really driving their health concerns, then builds personalised, evidence-based nutrition plans that fit around real life.
Her own osteoarthritis diagnosis sparked a particular interest in joint health, alongside skin and gut health, and gives her a personal understanding of just how much daily life can be affected by joint pain.
