The Clean Nutritionist
About Katie Poyasov — Registered Naturopathic Nutritionist UK
BSc (Hons), Dip NT(CNM), mBANT, mANP, rCNHC
“I became a nutritional therapist because I saw first-hand how food can transform health.”
I’m Katie Poyasov — a BANT-registered naturopathic nutritional therapist (BSc Hons, DipCNM, mBANT, mANP, rCNHC) and the founder of Naturalpaths Nutrition. I qualified at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in London after a first degree in Biology and Optometry & Visual Sciences, which gave me a clinical-science foundation in how the body’s systems interconnect.
Today I work with women across the UK and internationally — both in person and online — who are tired of being told their symptoms are “normal,” “stress,” or “just hormones.” I specialise in three connected areas that drive the majority of chronic complaints: gut health, women’s hormone balance, and blood sugar / metabolic health. Get those three working, and the things people really want — energy, clearer skin, easier weight management, calmer mood, fewer cravings, lower inflammation, better sleep, stronger immunity, and the long-term healthspan and longevity needed for a long, active, sharp-minded life — tend to follow.
My approach blends evidence-based naturopathic nutrition with functional medicine testing (DUTCH hormones, GI-MAP, organic acids, nutrigenomic DNA, food intolerance panels) so that every recommendation is rooted in your biochemistry rather than guesswork. I work alongside your GP and specialists where appropriate, never instead of them.

How I work with clients
I’ll only recommend a test if the result will genuinely shift what we do. Depending on your picture, that might be a GI-MAP stool test (gut), a DUTCH hormone test (sex and stress hormones), an organic acids test (mitochondrial and nutrient status), a DNA / nutrigenomic panel, or a food intolerance / IgG panel.
