Kerry explains how Teladoc Health UK's Nutrition Service helped her to understand better whether her plant-based nutritional needs were being fulfilled
“I discovered the Nutrition Service after switching jobs and gaining access through my new healthcare provider. I’d never used anything like it before, but I was curious—especially when I saw there was specialist plant-based nutrition support. As someone interested in healthy living and improving sleep quality, I wanted guidance that was evidence-based and personalised.
As a long-time vegan and registered nurse, I felt I had a solid understanding of nutrition. However, I still had many questions about whether I was truly meeting all my nutritional needs as I approached my mid-40s, how to manage early perimenopausal symptoms naturally, whether I could improve my energy, fitness, and overall health while sticking to a plant-based diet, and how to enhance sleep naturally through diet and lifestyle changes—questions that made me realise professional guidance could make a real difference.
The consultation with the Nutritionist was incredibly valuable and offered insights I hadn’t considered before. We began with a thorough review of my food diary, which highlighted patterns and small gaps in my diet that could be adjusted to better support my overall wellbeing.
What stood out most was the personalised approach, which focused not on weight loss but on helping me maintain consistent energy levels, support my fitness goals, and promote long-term health—all while following a plant-based lifestyle.
During the session, I received practical and actionable advice that I could easily incorporate into my daily routine. This included adjusting my protein intake to ensure I was meeting my nutritional needs, adding simple and targeted supplements where necessary, and making small lifestyle changes to improve sleep naturally, such as avoiding caffeine after 11 a.m. I also learned how to choose the best plant-based milks to avoid hidden calories and oils, which can have a subtle impact on energy levels and overall health.
These thoughtful recommendations, although small, had a noticeable effect on my wellbeing. I started feeling more in control of my nutrition, with improved energy throughout the day, increased mental clarity, and a better sense of balance in my lifestyle. The combination of professional guidance, personalised advice, and practical tips made the consultation feel like an actual investment in my holistic wellness and long-term health, giving me the confidence to make sustainable changes that support both my plant-based diet and my overall quality of life.
One of the most surprising benefits of the consultation was learning how nutrition affects sleep quality, as the Nutritionist shared practical tips for sleep-friendly meals and snacks, explained how avoiding late-day caffeine can promote better sleep naturally, and suggested small lifestyle adjustments to help the body relax and rest fully—changes that have made a noticeable difference in how rested and energised I feel each day.
The guidance I received was practical and achievable. Some of my favourite takeaways:
Protein adjustments to support energy and muscle health
Plant-based milks with fewer hidden calories
Meal planning ideas are provided in a PDF after the consultation
Strategies to maintain a balanced, nutrient-rich plant-based diet
I’ve already recommended the Nutrition Service to a colleague because it’s an easy, accessible way to get professional advice without taking time off work or travelling. For anyone looking to improve energy levels, support overall health, maintain a plant-based lifestyle, enhance sleep quality naturally, and receive personalised, realistic guidance, this service is truly a game-changer.”
