39 | Luxlife Magazine Most Transformational Nutritional Therapist 2023 – Layla Gordon Layla Gordon Nutrition grew from out of a passion for health into the flourishing business that it is today. We speak to the woman behind it all about her passion as she celebrates being rewarded for her hard work in the Health Beauty and Wellbeing Awards 2023. As a Registered Nutritional Practitioner, Layla Gordon helps busy professionals to gain more productivity and focus through making sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices, with her main focus being on gut health and optimising health at the cellular level. Layla’s personal health journey started in her late teens and early twenties as she struggled to maintain a steady weight and often felt that her skin and energy levels were not optimal. This led her to start reading, and it is where her passion began. However, it wasn’t until her husband and daughter both began suffering with health issues, that Layla’s interest grew, prompting her to take a four-year course and qualify as a nutritional therapist in order to fully immerse herself. “When my family started experiencing symptoms such as IBS, food sensitivities, and anxiety, I made it my personal goal to help them to feel better,” Layla explains. “Today, my work helps individuals to get to the root causes of their chronic illness so that they can finally feel better in themselves. I'm passionate about helping people to reach their health goals so that they can get more out of their day-to-day life.” Her company, Layla Gordon Nutrition, includes a programme called The Complete Health Path which takes clients on a journey to better optimal health. So much more than a standard nutritional assessment, this programme stands at the cutting-edge of functional and lifestyle medicine and it takes a lead in personalised test-based nutrition from the start of the journey. Consisting of either three, six, or twelve sessions, Layla delves deeply into a client’s lifestyle, and backs it all up with scientific evidence. “I like to use functional tests such as in-depth blood work analysis performed by a private GP clinic, a cell membrane essential fatty acids test and if required a comprehensive stool test or hormone test,” Layla elaborates. “I believe that this is the future of healthcare as we move towards a preventative way of working with disease. I also believe that understanding the health of an individual’s cell membrane is key to getting optimal results from the start, because when the cell membrane is functioning well, my clients are more able to absorb the nutrients that their body needs and excrete waste products from the cell.” Layla is very involved in steering people towards better health, offering a deeper level of support, such as questions and answers in her portal, on-demand videos regarding the core pillars to good health, regular recipes and evidencebased guidance on the latest research, meaning that her clients receive a level of support that helps with their journey to better health. She is a big believer that good communication is fundamental and that is why all of Layla’s clients are easily able to contact her via the portal, WhatsApp, or social media and they can expect a prompt reply. Layla also has a strong team of collaborators and partners around her, without which, her work would not be so impactful. She loves supporting local businesses and in collaborating with likeminded companies. For example, she is closely linked with R1se Gym and Sustudio Yoga in the local area of Poole, running events there and also encouraging her clients to engage in fitness there too. Layla is a trusted partner of Dorset Mind and a qualified Mental Health First Aider, believing that the gut-brain health connection is very strong. Layla also specialises in men's health as she strongly believes that there needs to be more focus in how healthcare professionals support men with their health issues. Men often have severe and chronic health conditions stemming from high stress levels and are, more so than women, hesitant about coming forward and admitting they are struggling. Having recently received recognition in the Health Beauty and Wellness Awards 2023 and being named Most Transformational Nutritional Therapist 2023 it’s fair to say that Layla’s future is looking healthy! Having grown organically, Layla believes that the future too will be organic and is just delighted to be able to continue sharing her passion and enriching people’s lives in the process. “The journey to optimal health can sometimes take some time, and it is more about making small measurable changes over time,” she enthuses. “I am truly excited for the future of my business, and I am just so grateful to be in this space and to be able to continue to share my knowledge, passion and client success at every step of the way.” Contact: Layla Gordon Company: Layla Gordon Nutrition Ltd Web Address: https://laylagordon.uk/
