“My (standard) blood tests can back normal, but I don’t feel great anyway..”
Stephen Ward (MSc Personalised Nutrition)
Hi, I‘m Steve Ward, a Nutritionist and Functional Medicine practitioner at Fairfield Nutrition.
I have a passion for helping people find out what is really going on in their bodies and helping them to make meaningful changes!
In Functional Medicine, we say ‘Test, Don’t Guess!’ as knowing what is going on in the body allows us to tailor treatment more precisely..
You can order lab tests, together with a single bundled consultation with myself, on this page.
I also offer an ongoing program of care if you are looking for ongoing support.
