Therapeutic Keto Practitioner
Linda McClure
My Experience
My path wasn't a straight line.
I haven’t spent my career hiding in a clinic. I spent 36 years in the hair & beauty industry learning how to read and listen to people and hear what they weren't saying. I navigated the complex world of childhood trauma and ACEs as an adoptive mum. I spent seven years teaching at a college.
And then, my own body completely broke down.
I had to take everything I had learned about the human body, while unlearning much of what I thought I knew about FOOD, to save my own life.
Today, I don't just practice therapeutic nutrition, I teach it to the next generation of practitioners. I know the science, but more importantly, I know how real life gets in the way of it.
