ADHD nutritionist, ADHD coach and Registered Nutritional Therapist

I’m Emily Fawell, founder of 4Well People. I’m a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Certified ADHD Coach and NLP Practitioner with over 16 years’ clinical experience. I’m also a late diagnosed ADHDer and live in a neurodivergent household, giving me plenty of lived experience of neurodivergence!

I specialise in practical ADHD coaching and nutrition support for adults, young people, late-diagnosed women and families. My work focuses on the real-life challenges that often come with ADHD: irregular eating, low energy, emotional dysregulation, overwhelm, executive function difficulties, sleep problems, cravings, meal planning and feeling as though everyday routines are harder than they “should” be.

My approach is warm, realistic and non-judgemental. I do not believe in perfect diets, rigid plans or giving people more things to feel guilty about. Instead, I help you understand how your brain and body work, then build practical strategies that fit your life.

Nutrition and coaching that works with your brain

ADHD can affect far more than concentration. It can influence appetite, planning, motivation, impulsivity, sleep, mood, energy, food choices and the ability to follow through with good intentions.

Many of my clients know what they “should” be doing, but struggle to do it consistently. That is where ADHD-informed support can make such a difference.

Together, we may look at:

• Simple ways to eat more regularly
• ADHD-friendly meal planning
• Protein, blood sugar and energy
• Food routines that reduce decision fatigue
• Nutrition to support focus and emotional regulation
• Strategies for cravings and dopamine-seeking eating
• Sleep, stress and nervous system support
• How hormones, menopause, digestion or medication may affect food and energy
• Practical coaching tools for planning, and prioritising

The aim is not to overhaul your life overnight. It is to create small, sustainable changes that help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control.

Why I do this work

I originally trained as a Nutritional Therapist after experiencing the benefits of nutritional therapy in my own health. Before retraining, I studied at Warwick University and worked in marketing for a number of blue-chip companies.

In my twenties, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Conventional medical treatment did not give me the improvement I had hoped for, and seeing a Nutritional Therapist opened my eyes to the impact food and lifestyle can have on health and wellbeing. That experience changed the direction of my life and led me to train at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, to become a Nutritional Therapist.

I set up 4Well People in 2009 and have been supporting clients ever since.

Over time, my work has increasingly focused on ADHD, neurodivergence, executive function and the connection between food, mood, energy and everyday life. I bring together nutritional therapy, ADHD coaching and behaviour-change tools to help clients make changes that feel possible, not overwhelming.

My professional background

I am a:

• Registered Nutritional Therapist
• Certified ADHD Coach
• NLP Practitioner
• Clinical Supervisor on the Nutritional Therapy degree at the University of West London
• Member of BANT, the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine
• Registered with CNHC, the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council
• Fully insured practitioner

I also undertake regular professional development, supervision and training to keep my knowledge up to date.

Alongside my one-to-one work, I run talks, workshops and courses on ADHD, nutrition, brain health, women’s health and wellbeing. I also provide corporate education and neurodivergent wellbeing support for organisations.

How I work

My style is practical, collaborative and compassionate.

I know that many people come to nutrition or coaching after years of feeling frustrated with themselves. You may have tried meal plans, apps, supplements, self-help books or strict routines, only to find that nothing sticks for long.

Rather than assuming you need more willpower, I look at what is getting in the way.

That might include executive function, sensory preferences, low energy, poor sleep, stress, hormones, digestive symptoms, medication side effects, nutrient deficiencies, poor blood sugar management, perfectionism or simply having too much on your plate.

I will help you break things down into manageable steps and find strategies that suit the way your brain actually works.

Nutritional therapy and functional testing

Where appropriate, I may also recommend functional testing to better understand what may be contributing to symptoms. This may include blood tests, hormone testing, digestive stool testing, nutrigenomic testing or other relevant investigations.

Testing is never used for the sake of it. I only recommend it when it is likely to provide useful information and help guide a more personalised plan.

Where relevant, I may also advise on nutritional supplements, always alongside food, lifestyle and behaviour-change strategies.

Other nutrition support

Although ADHD coaching and nutrition are now a central focus of my work, I also continue to support clients with wider nutritional therapy needs, particularly where these overlap with brain health, hormones, digestion, energy, mood or metabolic health.

This may include support with:

• Menopause and perimenopause
• Digestive health
• Blood sugar balance and energy
• Weight management
• Children’s nutrition
• Women’s health

My aim is always to help you understand what is happening in your body and make realistic changes that support long-term wellbeing.
