Reclaim your metabolism, reclaim your healthspan.
with Dr Jennifer
Helping you age well through the years by optimising your metabolic health, reducing the burden of chronic metabolic disease and ultimately prolonging your healthspan.
Welcome to The
Metabolic Health Doctor
I’m Dr. Jennifer Scally, a GP, Integrative Functional Nutritional Therapist and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist. I am dedicated to helping you take control of your metabolic health and reduce your risk of chronic metabolic disease. As an NHS doctor for 17 years, with 11 years as a GP I have witnessed the rise in chronic metabolic diseases such as Type II Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity. Working at the frontline of healthcare I’ve witnessed how lifestyle choices can sabotage our health. Equally, I’ve also seen how small changes can lead to significant health improvements. It’s never too late to start your journey towards better health.
My approach compliments traditional medical advice by integrating Nutritional Therapy, Functional Medicine and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy. Together, we’ll work to optimise your cardio-metabolic health, prevent or reverse cardio-metabolic disease, and help you achieve a healthy weight.
What is metabolic health?
Simply put metabolic health refers to our body’s ability to use the food we eat to create energy. When our food intake matches our energy requirement we have metabolism that is in balance. However, problems occur when we over consume nutrient poor, energy dense foods. This excess energy is then stored in our body as fat, and eventually disrupts organ function causing chronic diseases you may be familiar with, such as Type II Diabetes, Fatty Liver Disease, Cardiovascular Disease and Obesity.
The good news is, we can fix this energy mismatch through science-backed changes and changes in diet, lifestyle and mindset.

How Does Sleep Affect Weight Loss? The Metabolic Connection
Have you ever noticed how your food choices change after a poor night’s sleep? I know for me after a night of disrupted sleep or a late shift at work all I want to do the next day is eat! We often blame our weight loss struggles on diet and exercise alone, but there’s another crucial factor that many of us overlook – that is our sleep patterns.
What is Metabolic Health?
Your metabolic health plays a huge role in whether you will develop one or more chronic metabolic diseases, including Type II diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Hypertension, Gout, Fatty Liver and Obesity. It is estimated that around 25-30 percent of the UK population are metabolically unhealthy, making this a crucial health concern for most of us.
