NATUROPATHIC NUTRITIONIST & WELLNESS EXPERT
IN THE BEGINNING
Growing up on my Cornish family farm, I learnt the true value of knowing where our food comes from.
Not only this but also the importance of animal welfare. These early experiences shaped my commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. At the age of 17, I started my first business, inspired by the passion for customer service and the strong work ethic instilled in me by my father. As I moved from Cornwall to Taunton and my family grew, so did my dedication to building meaningful connections and delivering excellence in all I do.
In my late 20s, I was fortunate to work with Sir Richard Branson, an experience that profoundly shaped my entrepreneurial journey. Travelling the world, I earned several prestigious awards and gained invaluable insights into business innovation. Sir Richard taught me to embrace emerging markets, challenge traditional systems, and put my unique spin on everything I pursue.

RACHAEL KNIGHT . NATUROPATHIC NUTRITIONIST & FOUNDER
After the pandemic, I embarked on a new chapter, dedicating three years to studying Naturopathic Nutrition at the award-winning College of Naturopathic Medicine. As a registered Nutritional Therapist, I now have the expertise to address a wide range of conditions, symptoms, and issues by treating the root cause.
I’m passionate about helping others, using my knowledge to educate and empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being. Everything I undertake, I do with 100% commitment and to the best of my ability. Looking ahead, I plan to collaborate with leaders and secure funding to expand my reach and make a greater impact on the community. Exciting times are ahead!
SPECIAL INTERESTS
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and friends, enjoying the outdoors, and travelling. I’m always eager to learn new skills, meet interesting people, and explore different perspectives. At home, my three miniature dachshunds keep me on my toes, and I cherish cosy evenings with all three on my lap for cuddles after a busy day.
HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU
As a qualified nutritionist and registered nutritional therapist (dipCNM, mANP, mGNC). I use a personalised, holistic approach rooted in naturopathic nutritional therapy, to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and create a programme that’s tailored to you. I approach health conditions using a functional medicine or naturopathic approach. In practice this means considering all systems of the body and how they interplay and considering the root cause, rather than just symptoms. We also put a lot of intentional focus on lifestyle and environmental factors.
Being functional medicine/naturopathically lead, I would also consider genetic and environmental factors in and work to optimise an individual's response and optimise detoxification pathways through evidence-based nutrition interventions that support Phase 1 and 2 mechanisms. I focus on nutrient density over calories and consider the important role of plant chemicals (phytochemicals) in addition to macronutrients/micronutrients in supporting chronic conditions.
"Working with the Better Living Clinic has been life-changing. I struggled with emotional eating and always felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice. "

"The Better Living Clinic completely transformed the way I think about food and nutrition. I came in feeling tired, bloated, and unsure about what to eat"
