Hey there,

Let me introduce myself

I’m Eva Humphries, a Nottingham-based, leading BANT registered nutritionist with a realistic take on nutrition.
Somewhere along the way, we blew this nutrition thing out of proportion so I have a really relaxed approach to it which is less about rigid rules and cutting everything out and more about easy ways to add in nutrients.
Fundamentally we just need more nutrients. The rest is a bit fluffy around the edges, even with the best science applied to it.
Plus, like most people, I like a treat every now and then and you know what, there is more to good nutrition and there is definitely room for a bit of flexibility.

My past life

Before becoming a nutritionist, I spent 8 years in the I.T. industry.
I loved it, but it wasn’t my calling so I trained for 3 years to obtain an official certificate that allows me to tell others to eat more veg. Yup! Ok, it’s a bit more complex than that, so if you want the fancy-schmancy version, then I translate the latest science to help you optimise your wellbeing. Anyway.
Thanks to my “past life” in I.T, I’m well versed in the trials and tribulations of working life. I know what it’s like to work in an office, spend hours travelling to meetings or having to work late. The staff parties (which always seem to fall on a Thursday, making Friday a total write-off), the office snacks, the boredom eating or just straight-up lack of access to healthy food. I know when nutrition can slip and crucially, I know how to realistically work around it all.

What do I do exactly?

Here is a little overview of what my job entails:

- Nutritional Therapy consultations - all the info here - this is how I help you feel awesome
- Employee wellbeing talks/days - more on that here - this is where I help amazing companies look after their employees
- Cookery demos - during the summer months, I stand in the middle of a field, cook tasty dishes with a healthy twist and entertain attendees with terrible vegetable-related puns. I’ve been mega lucky to step on the cookery demo theatre stages of some of the best shows, including the Chatsworth Country Fair, The Game Fair, BBC Good Food Show and many more.

- Brands - occasionally I work with reputable ones on a partnership basis
- Pictures of my dinners - these live on my Instagram and before you start thinking “how is that part of your job?”, let me just make it clear, I take this part very seriously.
- Miscellaneous ventures - including two annual retreats, talks/webinars, guest speaking at events/conferences, magazine articles, guides, recipe development and probably other projects

Why Wholefood Warrior?

To begin with, I was narked with the diet and processed food industries.
On one end of the spectrum, it was all calorie-free sweet drinks, skinny pills and magical detox powders, then on the other, it’s the promotion of processed foods that lack nutrients, none of which contribute to our wellbeing.
Then one day, whilst shopping at a supermarket, it all just clicked.
It was one of those moments when I went shopping while hungry. Now, if you’ve done this before, you’ll know it’s not a great idea. It’s like every processed food item starts talking to you, coercing you into buying it. And let’s face it, there are a lot more of those items on our supermarket shelves than actual real food.
I was battling my way through the shopping list, chuckling to myself that I’m like some kind of a modern-day warrior.
A Wholefood Warrior.
It stuck.
So now I do my best to help you choose whole foods, the kind of ingredients that promote health, instead of the processed foods that are promoted to us every day through every media outlet. It’s not about going to war, rather it’s about having that warrior mentality to choose health over convenience.

Are you even qualified?

The truth is, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, even without a single qualification. It’s not a protected title.
Luckily, I went through 3 years’ worth of reputable training and continue honing my craft via a minimum of 36 hours of CPD (continuous professional development) per year.
I’m proud to call myself a fully qualified BANT registered nutritionist. Eva Humphries DipION, mBANT, CNHC, to be precise because those letters after my name translate to years of study, lots of nerdy science and validity.
On top of this, in 2023 I enrolled in an MSc in Clinical Nutrition via the University of Nottingham to add additional knowledge. Hopefully, I’ll be graduating sometime in 2024.
If you choose to work with me, just know that as well as having a down-to-earth, realistic approach, I’m also highly qualified.
